About Edmund H. Lew, MD, FAAFP
As your family doctor, I can be your trusted health advisor. I believe my role is to provide personalized care focused on helping you pursue living healthier, longer and better so you can work to fulfill your purpose in life with vigor.
As your personal primary care physician, I can be available to you when you need me, whether by a telehealth visit, at the office, by secure messaging, or, in some cases, at home for the occasional house call.
While partnering with you, I hope to learn about the many factors that can affect your health. I respect my patients’ perspectives, and they have come to appreciate me as a trusted friend and professional medical advisor. Whether my patients complain of fatigue, forgetfulness or other age-related issues, my approach is to help identify and partner with them in addressing root causes rather than solely using pharmaceutical agents that may just mask symptoms. I am certified in the field of functional medicine by both The Institute of Functional Medicine and American Academy of Functional Medicine. I enjoy researching and striving to implement scientifically based discoveries, therapies and devices that may help improve my patients’ health, as clinically appropriate.
As a board certified geriatric specialist, my special areas of interest include proactively supporting patients as they pursue optimizing their health and vitality as they age, as well as women’s health and menopause, men’s health, sexual dysfunction, metabolic syndrome and weight loss, diabetes, thyroid issues, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The annual MDVIP Wellness Program that I offer includes 18+ advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that could be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed. With my many years of experience, I can refer you to medical and surgical specialists to assist in your care, if need be.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I am on staff at Adventist Health Glendale, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital and Huntington Hospital. Most of my patients come from the nearby communities of Glendale, Burbank, La Canada, La Crescenta, Pasadena and Silverlake, California.

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.
