About Donald H. Bernstein, MD

I have always felt that a close, personal relationship with patients and their families is the foundation for optimal medical care. The MDVIP personalized healthcare model makes this possible by allowing me to spend time with my patients in a relaxed, unhurried setting. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. My goal is to see patients live long, healthy, productive and happy lives.

I have been in private practice since 1987. My office is conveniently located on lower Fifth Avenue, serving patients in Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Union Square, Flatiron, Soho, Tribeca, Midtown and the greater New York metropolitan area. 

Beyond wellness and preventive medicine, I have a special interest in arthritis-related disorders. I welcome older patients to the practice and provide home visits as needed for those unable to come to the office. I have hospital privileges at NYU Langone and Mount Sinai Beth Israel.

During a routine exam Dr. Bernstein discovered what later turned out to be a partial blockage in my left leg and referred me to a cardiologist. You could say that he saved my life. He is an outstanding physician. He has a generosity of spirit and I Recommend him without qualification.

Dr. Bernstein is one of the finest doctors it has been my pleasure to know. I have been with him for approx. 25 years. His judgement, advice, and medical solutions have always been superlative and spot on. I owe my medical well being to him. I also send kudos to Katlyn Chambers.
Warmest regards to all, Ronnie Goldman

I’ve been with Dr Bernstein for less than a year after more than 20 with my previous internist. Relationships take time and my comfort and trust of Dr Bernstein is growing steadily and positively. He’s been very caring and warm and patient and smart! He’s creative and gentle. I’m excited to keep working with him in my healthcare needs.

First rate. Always available. Diagnosis and prescriptions always correct.

I'm lucky to have found you, when my former doctor moved away!

It is very expensive, but one has a private MD who is hands on. The examination is long and thorough and the doctor is more available than one in a partnership......and most are in a partnership. The doctor shares a private cell number in case of emergency. Also the tests are much more extensive than you would get at a regular medical office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
