About Dr. Joseph T. Morandi
I believe each patient should be provided with the same high level of personalized care that would be received if they had a doctor in their own family. This conviction has led me to establish a practice that always puts patients first. Bernards Family Practice has the same values as the neighborhood medical practices of my childhood in Brooklyn; where relationships and service were the highest priorities. These community values live on in my practice in Basking Ridge and are shared by my wife, Michele, who is also a physician.
My goal as your private doctor is to partner with you to create a personalized healthcare plan to effectively treat your current health problems and prevent new ones. We will work as a team to achieve your health goals and I will be there to assist you with making informed decisions towards achieving those goals. I want to be able to celebrate how well my patients are doing health-wise – it is rewarding as a physician.
Practicing good medicine requires spending quality time speaking with and examining the patient and ordering the most appropriate tests needed to help make a diagnosis in a timely manner. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients, carefully review records and perform comprehensive exams. The reality is that most diseases are curable, or at least manageable; it’s the age of detection and diagnosis that makes all of the difference.
Let’s work together to make a happy, healthy future your reality.

Dr. Morandi is the primary physician for our whole family and several friends as well. He is always available by phone and quick appointments and gets to know more about us people, not just presenting medical issues. I have several times needed to message him at 2am and received a quick message or call back to be sure we have the answers, direction and support we need for whatever may be encountered.
Medicine not "the way it used to be;" but both Modern and Better!
Addressing the later first, Dr. Morandi was an excellent physician before MDVIP and continues to be so now as a member. First, he is extremely personable in this era when most doctors’s dialogue is mainly business like. I appreciate his effort to explain fully my situation and what options I have. Last year I suddenly began seeing vertical doubles, and Dr. Morandi arranged for me to see a specialist that day. Further he was in touch with me via his staff as I was seen by two specialists and received three different diagnoses. I was extremely relieved that i didn’t go through this medical nightmare alone.
The most advantageous component MDVIP is the immediate accesss to your physician. Plus the extra time spent with the doctor makes one believe the extra cost is a wise investment. The ability to go to best medical centers nationwide in the network is a nice paper benefit, but I suppose most people will select the best medical help that is in the region. The one flaw of MDVIP is the rather elementary website and patient portal.
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.
