About Jennifer L. Claves, MD

My passion as a board certified internist is to provide you with more personalized healthcare. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family. I believe healthcare should be collaborative, and I hope my staff and I have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we can all work together as a team.

In my 20-plus years of practice, I realize the importance of preventive medicine and how individual patient needs can vary. My partnership with MDVIP allows me not only to focus on preventive medicine, but also to help personalize it to your unique history and situation. 

I am an attending physician affiliated with Main Line Health. Having practiced in the Bryn Mawr area for my entire career, I have a large network of specialists to whom I can refer in the three major health systems in Philadelphia. Advocating for you when it comes to specialty care, or even hospital care should you need it, is something on which I pride myself. My primary care practice serves the Philadelphia suburbs.

I feel so fortunate to be among Dr. Jennifer Claves patients. At the suggestion of a lifelong friend and colleague, I joined her practice several years ago shortly before the COVID pandemic. Although I did not have my first appointment yet, Dr. Claves contacted me to ask if I wanted to get my first COVID immunization. I was most grateful for her initiative. Dr. Claves is an effective, thoughtful…

Dr. Clave’s has changed my life. My medical anxiety controlled me. Since becoming a patient, my fears have eased significantly just by feeling like I have someone in charge of my care who truly wants what is best for me. I never dread my check ups because I leave feeling better than I did when I walked in. Being able to text Dr. Claves the silliest of questions never feels like I am being a…

Approximately 15 years ago our primary care physician announced his retirement and suggested that one of the members of his team, Dr. Jennifer Claves, was well-suited to serve as his replacement. Ever since my first meeting with Dr. Claves I have been consistently impressed with her expertise, her devotion to patient care and her outstanding promptness in initiating follow-up discussions of test…

Dr. Claves is patient and caring. She will spend as much time with you as needed. She will return phone calls promptly and will also call you with results of tests. I have had a large number of primary care physicians over the length of my life but Dr. Claves is by far the best.

Dr. Claves is in a league of her own. She is extreme in her caring, knowledge, insight, and is supported by a great staff. Transferred to her care after watching her care for my wife. Came to this program because she is there. Worked in the medical field for over 40 years and cannot identify another physician who comes close to her in every aspect of medicine and care.

I am a member of MDVIP primarily because of the outstanding medical care I receive from my doc...Dr. Jennifer Claves, MD. I have been in her care for approximately 20 years and would follow her anywhere.
In addition she has a great staff who convey the same respect, friendliness and knowledge as the doctor they work for.
Thank you Dr. Claves, Kisha, Kirsten, Ann, Shelly, Michelle.

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.
