Dr. Freeman

Meet Helene C. Freeman, MD, FACP


My philosophy is that patients should be active participants in their own health to the best of their abilities. Engaging my patients in establishing a plan of care is paramount. I feel my job is to not only diagnose and treat, but to help educate and guide patients through the complexity of today's health care system. I aim to partner with my patients to solve their medical problems, and to also prevent problems through wellness counseling and early interventions.

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.

Dr. Freeman is terrific. She runs a small practice that feels professional, yet relaxed and intimate. Her staff are extremely personable and competent. Dr. Freeman's style is to inform, but allow her patients to make their own choices. The privacy of a single doctor practice works for me in many ways; no crowds of sick people waiting for other doctors and her staff know her patients - so there's never been a hitch in appointment times or payment.

A caring and calm primary care physician, Dr. Freeman collects, assesses and analyzes data meticulously. She picks up anomalies and follows-up to determine causes. She refers to specialists appropriately and communicates efficiently with others for personalized care of her patients.

Terrific primary care physician. I wish everyone could have a doctor like her. Really listens and her referrals to specialists have always been to excellent doctors as well. So many friends have had issues finding good primary care, I feel lucky to be a patient in Dr. Freeman's practice. And no I'm not a relative of hers, just a long time patient who's gone from middle age into senior citizen status with Dr. Freeman accompanying me on the journey.

Testimonials from patients of Helene C. Freeman, MD, FACP

Thank you to Dr. Helene Freeman and her wonderful staff, Shirley and Tosha

from Patricia in DC • March 12, 2024
She and they are the best in every way: knowledgable, capable, available, efficient, caring, kind, responsive. And I did very much appreciate that Dr. Freeman visited me in the hospital a few years ago when I was in for a few days due to a surgical mishap made by another doctor. I hope she doesn't retire for a long long time!!

Like Family to Me

from Donnie in MD • March 10, 2024
Dr. Freeman and her assistants, Shirley and Tasha, always make my visits comfortable. They have become like family to me. Dr. Freeman once checked on my family member and offered consultation even though they weren’t patients of hers. That meant the world to me and I’ll never forget it.

So glad to be accepted into the Practice

from Candace in MD • March 5, 2024
I'm not used to being told that I can't do something I want to do, so, you can imagine my shock when I was told that Dr. Freeman's office was closed to new patients.
But, luckily for me, she had an opening, and I had a strong referral from one of my Specialist Doctors.

A helpful approach to a summer weight gain

from Lucie in MD • February 18, 2024
After a successful weight loss and maintenance period or over a year, I regained 30 pounds during a stressful summer where I was out of town. Upon return to my hometown I met with my Doctor. The scale told the story but my doctor simply said "This is just a starting point." She simply moved us along to the rest of my check up and encouraged me to return to my regime that had worked Read more...

LIFE SAVER

from Susan in DC • January 20, 2024
Helene Freeman is, to me, a life saver. After a routine X-Ray I was told that everything was fine. When the reports were sent to Dr. Freeman, she saw something that the radiologist missed.
It turned out to be Lung Cancer. Who knows how long I would have walked around with this deadly disease? Who knows what stage it would have been when it finally was discovered.
