About Franz Sewchand, MD

As an Ascension Medical Group doctor, I provide compassionate, personalized care. I believe healthier living requires more than tending to an illness or simply focusing on acute care needs. In my practice, I focus on preventive care and wellness. I believe in a holistic assessment of a patient’s health and lifestyle with a goal of helping as they work to  pursue improved vitality. I believe in a collaborative approach, creating a partnership with my patients to review their specific health goals. 

I was born and raised in Baltimore and have been a primary care physician in Catonsville for more than 20 years. I have privileges at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital and have served many years on the Quality Committee, helping contribute to  improved healthcare for our community. I have interests in hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders and preventive care. 

My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Also, my practice offers same- or next-day appointments. I see patients from Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia and Pikesville.

Dr. Sewchand is a physician who consistently exhibits patience no matter how insignificant I think my concerns are. I have several health issues, which can be overwhelming at times. He is diligent in identifying and referring me to the proper specialists. One of things that I have been most impressed with was when he explained to me his desire to be more attentive to his patients and how the…

I have never had a lot of faith in how much a doctor can help with non-routine health problems. Why should I go to the doctor for this? What can he do? Dr. Sewchand proved me wrong twice, and I am very grateful to him. The first time was five years ago. At age 60, I was experiencing unexplained body aches that steadily got worse and worse, to the point where I could barely walk. I tried physical…

Dr. Franz Sewchand has been my Primary care physician for more than fifteen years. Five years ago we were completing my annual exam and everything seemed to be fine. As we were wrapping Dr. Sewchand decided that he would refer me to a Urologist to make sure that there were no issues with my prostrate. He wrote a referral and I followed up.
As it turned out the visit probably saved my life.…

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.
