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.

My husband is a fairly new patient of Dr. Sterns, within this past year. This doctor and her staff can not find time in between her time off and her personal phone calls during appointments to make time and give my husband an appt for a medical clearance for surgery. No time available and she will be out of the office all week. What a joke! Not to mention, I will not be going to that office for myself due to the locked doors and double masks that are worn by all staff and the doctor and a requirement of all patients to wear them.

I switched my primary care from Dr. Stern. I found her assistant was extremely rude and very fast paced and abrupt. I dont appreciate rudeness by a tech who repeatedly asked multiple questions at lightening speed horrible person !

New patient here. I made an appointment and I brought all necessary paperwork with me already completed. I was the ONLY one sitting in the waiting room. I waited one hour before being called back. The entire time I was the ONLY patient there. The nurse asked basic, but very long questions for about 15-20 minutes then said the doctor would be in shortly. Another 40 minutes goes by before Dr. Stern comes in the room. At this point, I’m disgusted. The only reason I didn’t walk out was because I hadn’t had a yearly routine exam in quite some time and was concerned for my health. When I finally got to meet Dr. Stern 2 hours after my appointment time, she did spend a lot of time with me, however, I felt most of the time was used in a wasteful manner. She cared more about ridiculous random things than she did about why I was actually there… to make sure I was healthy!!

I have absolutely no personal issues with anyone in the office, the Nurse/tech, the one who gives the shots, is amazing. I have issues of them closing down the office the time of my appointment for Dr. Stern to give service to one of her employees and lock the doors so I am late for my job. I switched onto a birth control so I get a shot every three months, I made the appointment three months ago, I was never confirmed for my appointment. The staff is incompetent, and Dr. Stern doesn't see the issue.

I love DR. Stern. She is the best and spends a lot of time with you and really listens. I have been going to her for about 2 years and she has helped me so much. She makes you feel very comfortable. The best doctor I have ever been too.

I have remained silent for too long about this practice. I've tolerated their unprofessionalism because I didn't want the inconvenience of finding a new doctor and transferring my records. However, I am officially done with this place. There have been numerous instances where I have felt disrespected, but I'll keep it brief. The doctor's behavior has been appalling. Not only has she been rude and high-strung toward me, but she has also made me feel extremely anxious about my health. Upon speaking with her secretary, I was informed that the doctor was dealing with personal issues. That's no excuse for treating patients poorly. We all have our problems, but it's unacceptable for a doctor to burden their patients with personal drama. Despite giving her the benefit of the doubt, my visits have consistently left me feeling stressed due to her demeanor. She is always stressed out.....ALWAYS! Additionally, her secretary, Karen (the name says it all), lacks any sense of compassion. She once made me wait outside in the sweltering heat for 30 minutes, despite available seating indoors. This happened just last summer. The office still enforces strict COVID protocols, which meant I had to wait outside due to social distancing rules. Today, when I had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency, the secretary immediately mentioned a charge for the cancellation without even inquiring about the reason. When I explained my situation, instead of showing compassion, she rudely interrogated me. Their unprofessional, inconsiderate, and downright nasty behavior has made me decide that I would not recommend this office to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

I've been going to Dr. Julie Stern for years and cannot say enough great things about her. She truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond in all aspects. I had to cancel my appointment recently due to a business trip and she went out of her way to accommodate me and got me in as her last appointment one late night, so I could stay on track. Dr. Stern is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about her work, a motivator, warm, friendly and a truly dedicated medical practitioner. I feel like I'm going to see a good friend when I have my check in visits with her. She keeps my health on track and motivates me to do better (exercising, making healthier food choices & adjusting any of my meds). She's the best!! An absolute gem in the medical field. Thank you Dr. Stern for all you do!!

Best Doctor Ever! She listens to her patients and is very concerned about them. She is protecting her patients, staff, herself and her family, with the mask requirement. Covid, RSV, and other bad viruses are still out there. That shows how much she cares about people. I would highly recommend you see Dr. Julie Stern for your health concerns. She is very thorough, kind, and takes time with you during the appointment. That's what you want a good doctor to do. Best Doctor Ever! Julie Stern, MD.
