Meet Frank J. Contacessa, MD


I have always considered my ability to interact with people my most valuable asset as a primary care physician. The doctor-patient relationship is totally unique, requiring a level of trust and understanding that takes time and effort to develop. A good internist will get to know patients on a much deeper level than will a specialist. There is an ongoing partnership, which allows us to better diagnose and treat those who trust us with their care. A good doctor will not only figure out what might be the root of problems, but also should be able to help you understand aspects of the treatment plan. I have been told by countless patients that they feel like friends or family, which I consider I great compliment!

Medicine has changed quite a bit in recent years, and much of the art of medicine has been lost. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. We focus on lifestyle, disease prevention, diet and exercise, screenings, and overall health maintenance. I also practice what I preach when it comes to healthy living. My advice to you will always be the same as it would be for myself or for my own family. 

There is a palpable difference between custom medical care and “big-box” medicine. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I spend more time with my patients, being more available for sick visits and responding to your concerns in a timely manner. 

After 20 years of private practice, I have developed a true appreciation for the collaboration between a doctor and patient. Centrally located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, I look forward to helping keep you happy and healthy.

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.

I was skeptical about this young doctor taking over Dr. Marks’ MDVIP practice.; Dr. Marks was my physician for many many years. Dr. Frank Contacessa was the right choice from the get-go. The introduction interview was all encompassing. He was prepared for us. We were prepared for him and I have never regretted the decision to proceed for one moment. Some cardiac issues were heavy on my mind and Read more...
