About E. Martin Maida, MD
As an internist, I am the doctor you rely on when your first question or concern arises. My role as a primary care physician is to help each of my internal medicine patients improve or maintain their health through wellness and prevention, as well as manage acute and chronic conditions. My goal is to partner with each of my patients, developing a relationship based on trust, mutual respect and open communication, and ultimately creating a personalized plan for achieving health goals.
My patients know that I practice what I preach from being physically active (pursuing my love of martial arts) to eating healthy, which is key to reducing inflammation - the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke. I have a special interest in preventive medicine, bariatric medicine (weight loss), cardiovascular health, age management (aging and bioidentical hormone replacement), integrative and alternative medicine.
For 30 years, I have had the privilege of caring for others, and it's even better now. MDVIP allows me to provide care in an unrushed, uninterrupted setting, where your individual needs are addressed and treated. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. My personalized primary care practice is located in Livingston, New Jersey and serves West Orange, Short Hills, Essex Fells, Verona, The Caldwells, East Hanover, Montclair, as well patients from New York and Pennsylvania. I am affiliated with Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

What our members are saying
Dr. Martin Maida and Mrs.Pam Maida, along with their staff at MDVIP, have provided me with the utmost care for the better part of a decade. They exemplify everything you would want and hope for with your medical care, but more importantly with your overall well being. This became abundantly clear when I came back from detox and rehab almost 4 years ago. Dr. Maida and Pam Maida, and their entire…

Having a doctor that is up to date on illness and treatment and has good listening skills. My initial visits with Dr Maida very impressive. I switched after having the same Primary for over 25 years and Dr Maida took the time needed to listen to my history and my concerns. The annual physical was very thorough as was the review of all test results. I’m very happy that he was recommended to me.

After my yearly checkup, I met with Dr. Maida in his office.
As usual, he was very thorough. When he got to a certain point, he became very serious,
as he explained that if I didn't do something about my sugar level, I was facing the real possibility of becoming diabetic.
That moment changed my life. I took immediate steps, that he suggested, and I have never looked back…

Will never forget when we were away years ago, my mom took a turn for the worse and our daughter was with her. She called Dr Maida , who went over to my moms and sat with my daughter til mom passed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get home til the day after. I am forever grateful! Also, he and his sidekick/wife, Pam; are 2 of the most thorough, kind, and give back to their patients like drs use to be…

Best doctor - extremely thorough the old school way, which is very favorable to us. He is never rushed and always gives you the needed time to discuss all your questions. He took the lead to coordinate medication improvements subscribed by another physician based on his results of vital signs. We know we are in great care with Doc and highly recommend him!!

Dr. Maida and his staff are top notch! From the moment upon entering the door, I was greeted in a positive, friendly and pleasant manner. The front office staff are efficient and caring. The office is run to A+ perfection.
Soon after being called into the exam room, Dr. Maida walked in pleasant and smiling eagerly, and listened to my
medical concerns. He treated me with compassion and validated what I had to say.
While he patiently listened to my concerns, he then
asked me several follow-up questions. I knew he was truly interested and invested. He took his time and his exam was extremely thorough and thoughtful.
He made me feel like a person he was trying to help, and listened, while also making eye contact. In my past experience with other doctors, simple eye contact is something that has been lost over the years, rather, all I look at is their head looking down and away from me, typing on a computer.
I felt like I was a person in his care, and not just patient number 2 of the day. After his careful examination and testing provided, he followed up with me to suggest a protocol to help with my valid concerns. Dr. Maida is like no other. He has a true gift and talent guided by God’s hands.

Dr. Maida is to be commended for his outstanding doctor-patient relationships. He sent me to many Specialist to find relief from
my long haulers Covid. I did not feel better, until Dr. Maida found research articles with suggestions that helped my situation.
His examinations are very thorough, and he explains everything in simple terms. I have complete trust in Dr. Maida, and I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you, Dr. Maida for your excellent care.

Nope. Dismissed my mother’s excruciating abdominal pain for more than a year until she wound up in the ER with Stage 3 cancer that had spread from her colon. Was easily curable but he repeatedly told her nothing was wrong. FOR OVER A YEAR WHILE IT SPREAD THROUGH HER BODY. She would cry from the pain. But nothing was wrong. Never even referred her to a GI. Don’t let this “doctor” anywhere near you.

Dr. Maida has been my doctor for many years. He is hands down my idea of an outstanding doctor. Not only is he an excellent diagnostician, but he is a caring and compassionate doctor as well. He is thorough in his work and will always take the time you need to answer any questions that you may have. While I rarely do online reviews, after all these years of appreciating all that Dr. Maida does for his patients, myself included, this is my opportunity to say thank you for all that he does for so many, and for being such a doctor of true excellence!

Dr. Maida is a caring, and considerate doctor. He listens to what you
have to say, does a through exam and a battery of tests at yearly physicals. What is really amazing is the time he gives you when he goes over the results of your exam and the tests results. You can ask any question and he takes the time to make sure you understand his explanations. I have been with him for years and would recommend him without hesitation. He is my idea of a great doctor!

Dr Maida is, hands down, the best physician that I’ve ever encountered. I feel like I hit the lottery when I found him. He is caring and informed and ensures that I am also informed. I so appreciate him taking the time to not only answer all of my questions about my condition or treatment, but to do so in such a way that I actually understand. He makes me feel like I truly matter. That’s invaluable to me. Dr Maida provides the kind of care that every physician should aspire to provide.

I am appalled. After such amazing reviews, I chose to schedule a meet and greet meeting with Dr.Maida. I was traveling after work in a bad weather, and since I was running late, I called the receptionist to give a heads up. She confirmed that Dr. will be waiting for me. When I finally came there, I was told that doctor would not be able to see me since he is currently with the patient and then he has to be in the hospital. He stood me up This is the nastiest human behavior I have ever seen. Shame Dr.Maida!

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.
