About Edith Dale, MD
My favorite mentor in my internal medicine residency once stated that 90% of the diagnosis can be made from the patient’s history. I often think of that as I talk with patients to review their symptoms or when discussing a strategy for them. This interaction requires more time with a patient, which I believe has become very difficult to come by in more traditional medical practices. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more time to develop long-standing relationships with my patients, which is an aspect of my 30 years in internal medicine practice that I have loved!
When I entered the University of Rochester Medical School, the curriculum had just been reorganized with a patient-centered focus. That means I started working with individuals earlier in my education, allowing me to apply theories and facts to real situations. I learned to consider patients’ priorities, knowledge and experiences, and the influence they can have on medical outcomes. I try every day to make that connection with patients to help with a diagnosis, treatment recommendations or when discussing chronic conditions.
I chose to start an MDVIP-affiliated practice to add another dimension to my care, wellness and prevention. The Wellness Program emphasizes this approach. New tests and information are considered by MDVIP’s physician board and shared with affiliated physicians. The organization has used an evidence-based approach for which studies have shown more positive outcomes with the personalized care offered in MDVIP-affiliated practices. I am excited to be part of it and welcome you to join me!

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.
