About Himani Shishodia, MD
At the heart of being an internal medicine physician and providing primary care, is building relationships and being available to my patients. When I listen to patients, there may be immediate concerns to address, but a core value is to also identify health goals for the future and figure out how the acute problem fits into the big picture of my patients’ lives.
I love being an internist and practicing general medicine. It is the conversations I have with patients with a whole-person perspective that allows me to make decisions that help improve health outcomes over time. I see my role as collaborator and educator, as well as a personal doctor, and work to build close relationships with my patients where we discuss the joys and concerns of aging, the hopes of living well and the struggles of living with chronic conditions.
In an increasingly complicated world of medical technology, new medications and super specialties, primary care remains a critical access point for personal wellness. Every day, I strive to empower my patients to help them navigate this complex world of healthcare while providing them with the personalized care and attention they deserve.
My practice is located in Lutherville, Maryland and serves Baltimore County, Baltimore City and the surrounding areas. I am affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital and have relationships with specialists at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Medical Center and the University of Maryland Medical Center.

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.
