Farrukh Ambareen, MD

During my years of practicing in the traditional healthcare model, I found it often prioritizes volume, speed and administrative demands over time and attention to individual patients, which I find meaningful and that first drew me to internal medicine.

I am proud that my practice is affiliated with MDVIP, which enables me to put into action my deep commitment to practicing medicine with intention, integrity and a focus on what I believe matters most: more time to spend with patients, trust and long-term relationships.

I see a smaller number of patients so I can offer more personalized, proactive care. I see myself as your long-term health partner—someone who knows you well, understands your history and goals, and helps guide you through the many medical and lifestyle decisions that may affect your health over time. Rather than reacting only when problems arise, we can focus on prevention, comprehensive screenings and developing a wellness plan.

The experience in my practice includes longer, unhurried visits where I can help you address concerns in a more holistic manner rather than in fragments. It also includes same- or next-day appointments and the ability for you to communicate with me directly on questions and guidance–even after hours.

I also have more time to speak with specialists and advocate for your care within what I see as an increasingly complex healthcare system. I can be that physician who knows you well and can help educate you as you make choices about your care.

My goal in my practice is to emphasize attentive, intentional care over transactional relationships. I believe that my patients can gain peace of mind knowing they have a trusted physician who they can reach when they need help – one who is familiar with their health and history. 

I believe that membership in my MDVIP-affiliated practice supports a more comprehensive, relationship-based approach to internal medicine. It can support us in working together on long-term health strategies, helping you work to address concerns before they may become problems and navigate life’s transitions that can affect your health—whether related to aging, stress, work, family or chronic conditions.

I find the MDVIP model allows me to return to my medical roots by supporting a trusting relationship between physician and individual, built over time, grounded in mutual respect, and focused on well-being rather than volume. It allows me to practice with the focus and attentiveness that I believe you deserve.

I am grateful for the trust patients have placed in me over the years. It has been a privilege to be part of their care, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my practice with you and whether this approach aligns with your health goals. Please call my office to set up a meet-and-greet with me.
