About Francis X. Brescia Jr., DO, FACOFP
My goal as your private doctor is to partner with you to create a personalized healthcare plan to effectively treat your current health problems and prevent new ones. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as members of my family. My patients will benefit from my osteopathic education, expertise and years of experience in clinical medicine.
My primary care practice will continue to serve the Middle Paxton Township, as it has for over 37 years. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, my goal is to provide you with highly personalized healthcare while focusing on prevention and wellness. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will also continue in my role as the Chief Medical Officer, treating our students in the Central Dauphin School District. I will remain on active staff with Pinnacle Heath Systems (Community Osteopathic Hospital, Harrisburg Hospital and West Shore Hospital).

Reviews from the web
He knows me very well and I am very grateful that he is my doctor. His staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
I'm familiar with co-pays, but a membership fee????
I'm sure he's a good doctor, but the receptionist was a bit on the cold 🥶 side.
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.
