Derek McCoy, MD

Practicing medicine in Bel Air, MD, the hometown of my wife, has given me a deep appreciation for the unique, close-knit community of Harford County. This area is known for its strong sense of connection, where families and neighbors support one another, and people truly care about each other’s well-being. As a physician in this community, I understand the importance of fostering long-term relationships with patients, where the focus is not just on treating immediate health concerns, but on aiming to achieve lasting wellness. My priority is to work alongside my patients, understanding their individual needs, and helping them maintain healthy, fulfilling lives for years to come.

As a primary care physician with a background in emergency medicine, sports medicine, and family medicine, I bring a diverse set of skills and experiences to the care of my patients. My emergency medicine training allows me to manage acute situations with precision, while my sports medicine background equips me to address musculoskeletal injuries and focus on functional recovery. 

With a foundation in family medicine, I prioritize continuity of care, prevention, and overall wellness, ensuring that my patients receive consistent and thorough attention across their life stages. I believe that the key to effective healthcare is a strong, trusting patient-physician relationship. By fostering open communication, mutual respect, and understanding, I work to create a partnership where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advance health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in typical concierge medicine practices.
