About Flavia A. Golden, MD

"..For the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.” – Francis W. Peabody, MD, 1927

With over two decades' experience practicing internal medicine on Manhattan's Upper East Side, I have learned something simple - the better I know you, the better I am able to advise you and deliver optimal care tailored to your needs. In these hectic times, one of the most valuable resources I have as a physician remains the time I can spend with you. It is my privilege to know each of my patients personally. In my office, you will be cared for as if you were a member of my family.

My style is direct and warm, and my approach is comprehensive and holistic. In addition to managing illness, I have a strong personal interest in wellness care, integrative practices and proactive, preventive medicine that is designed to keep you at your healthiest.

Dr. Flavia Golden is always there for me. She is kind, caring and LISTENS! I never feel rushed in her office, my file on her desk is open and about 3 inches thick and she is taking notes as we speak, sometimes she goes back in those file to compare what we might be discussing.

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.
