What Members Are Saying

My wife Cathy and myself have been patients of Dr Portnoy's for over 30 Years. He and his staff have always been compassionate, understanding and has been there for us 27/7. His referrals, when needed, have always been been extremely helpful. We are so fortunate to have Dr Portnoy and his staff to help us thru medical issues.

Patient of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

Dr Edward Portnoy is highly competent, compassionate and patient, more than willing to listen and communicate. He is always there to help me with whatever illness I may have and helps me stay as healthy as possible. I can't imagine having a better doctor. All these years... Thank you.

Mary

Patient of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

Dr Portnoy is the BEST! Example: I came down with COVID. I texted Dr Portnoy and he sent a prescription in for Paxlovid. I picked it up and within hours I was feeling better. I worked the whole week during the regimen because that was how good I was feeling. Then I hear from co-workers suffering through COVID to the painful end and still having aftermath symptoms. I THANK MY DOCTOR and PFIZER for this miracle medication for those who can take it. Just sad to hear people who may be suffering unnecessarily. I got many more examples though they all follow the same wonderful support. Also, a shout out to the fabulous staff as we depend on them too.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

My experience is quite ordinary and yet still quite satisfactory.

from Shirley in CA • February 10, 2015

My experience is quite ordinary and yet still quite satisfactory. In spite of my age I am in excellent health. Good genes, I think.

This May my husband will be 97 years young.

from Ingrid in CA • March 28, 2015

This May my husband will be 97 years young. Was it not for being a patient of Dr. Portnoy, I do not believe he would have reached this age.
We receive excellent care and concern, I cannot imagine what our lives would have been like without this personal attention.
Thank you a lot.

Dr Portnoy's quick response, follow up, and problem solving skills.

from Janet in CA • March 9, 2016

Due to a local pharmacy filling my Rx with the incorrect medication, which I ingested, I could have become more ill and incapacitated or worse than I did, unless Dr Portnoy had not responded with immediate response to my phone call with my symptoms of passing out. He leaped into immediate investigation on the kind of med the pharmacy filled incorrectly, tried to get back to me at home, but I had Read more...

It is well worth the annual fee I pay for the privilege.

from Ronald • March 28, 2017

I like my ability to phone Dr. Portnoy on his personal cell phone 7 days per week and get him on the phone virtually every time I have called.
I do not have to be routed through incompetent office staff, as has been my experience over the last 60 years with dozens of other physicians.
That should be the most distinctive selling point for MDVIP.
It is well worth the annual fee I Read more...

Dr. Portnoy is a very kind person.

from Chales • March 29, 2017

Dr. Portnoy is a very kind person. Were it not for him the last 8 years would have been difficult for me and my wife. He has nurtured me to the tender age of 98 and we are looking forward to making it to 100.
Being available, with great advise and encouragement at odd hours, has been priceless. The best action we took is to join MDVIP.
Thank you for such fine service.
Sincerely,

The Office of Edward B. Portnoy, MD
