Meet Ernest F. Gillan, MD
Foundational to my approach is wellness and prevention; that is the cornerstone of my MDVIP-affiliated practice. I offer same-day or next-day appointments, and office visits can last as long as needed so I can offer care in a more personalized manner. I have more time to spend with patients in an unrushed atmosphere.
I have special interests in chronic diseases and hypertension, cholesterol disorders, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia. I am also board certified in geriatrics and served as a medical director in a skilled nursing facility for decades. My experience with the aging process can help me support my patients age in place at home or as they progress to other alternatives when needed.
As chairperson of the Department of Family Medicine for Main Line Health, I am a leader in medicine and population health in our community. I have been fortunate to be named a Top Doc in Philadelphia Magazine and Main Line Today Magazine for multiple years.
I try to emulate the phrase, “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
My practice serves patients from the Main Line in Philadelphia, PA, and surrounding communities, including Paoli, Malvern, West Chester, and all of Chester County.

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.
