My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

At Main Line Internal Medicine, my team and I are devoted to providing compassionate, personalized healthcare in a warm and supportive setting, a true medical home. We are a practice that focuses on wellness and health maintenance, and aggressively treats acute illness as well as chronic conditions. My staff and I coordinate tests and procedures and expedite specialist appointments. I am available to each patient during and after hours. I visit my patients if they are admitted to Paoli Hospital and facilitate follow up after discharge. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

I am a university trained Internal Medicine specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience in primary care. I have practiced medicine at large urban academic centers and community hospitals. I established my current practice in 2000, and have developed strong relationships with a select group of medical and surgical specialists both within and outside the Main Line Health system. 

I bring experience, expertise, compassion, humor and a certain amount of tenacity to bear when I approach patient care. I have found that meaningful conversation with my patients is as important as a blood test or x-ray. I want to know about diet, sleep and exercise habits, relationships, concerns and joys. I base a patient’s health plan or prescription on a synthesis of the personal and the technological data. In short, I treat my patients as members of my family. I believe this approach is the key to effective healthcare.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Kripke

Enrolling in Dr. Kripke's Practice Was The Best Decision
from Linda in PA March 25, 2020 for Elana Nudel Kripke, MD

My first appointment with Dr. Kripke was in August of 2003. After about 10 minutes, I knew I had found the perfect doctor for me, as we sat and commiserated over our beloved late dogs. Through the years, I know that I have received the best medical care I could have wished for. Dr. Kripke is a very compassionate and caring physician while being extremely thorough and cautious at the same time… See more

Who would have "thunk" it.
from kenneth in PA March 10, 2020 for Elana Nudel Kripke, MD

No doubt she has made me think way more seriously about my health. Our health is our responsibility but many of us take ours for granted since we have been so very lucky. But as we become AGE positive things change a bit. With her approach and concern she has helped me focus on what important. She works so very hard and we all benefit. Bravo Dr. K

I am so grateful that she is my physician
from Marie in PA March 16, 2018 for Elana Nudel Kripke, MD

I first met Dr Kripke while at work. I was in pain and had no idea what was wrong. Without even knowing me she started taking care of me! I was taken to the ER and she came down to see how I was doing. I knew then that she was kind, caring and compassionate with a little something extra special mixed in. She has been my PCP ever since. Dr Kripke has seen me through some really tough personal… See more

Dr. Kripke really cares about her patients.
from Philip in PA March 1, 2018 for Elana Nudel Kripke, MD

Dr. Kripke really cares about her patients. She leaves no stone un-turned. She has a positive approach toward preventative medicine. Using this approach, I strongly believe she recently saved me from a Heart Attack. I've been her patient for over 15 years and I could not imagine me going to any other Family Doctor. When she recommends a specialist to see, I have found that doctor to be of… See more
