About Laura Oppenheim, MD

As the daughter of a family physician, I always hoped to emulate my father in his profession. As a practicing physician in center city Philadelphia, I continue to model my father's approach: attentive, personalized and patient. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I can educate and guide you as you pursue achieving and maintaining your health goals. My aim is to support you through my education, experience and energetic commitment to care. I also offer conveniences, like same- and next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

In addition to my interests in preventive medicine, cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and women's health, I am Fellowship-trained in geriatrics. I am keenly aware of the complex medical issues that people may face as they age. I am dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based care to support all my patients as they work to address issues. I listen to my patients and serve as their advocate across an often complex medical landscape.

I am affiliated with both the Penn Medicine (University of Pennsylvania) and Jefferson Health networks and my office is in downtown Philadelphia.

Dr. Oppenheim was my internist prior to her joining MDVIP. When she joined I did not immediately join MDVIP, as I didn't think it was necessary. I did stay with the same practice just got another Dr. After a medical issue, my wife urged me to join MDVIP so that I would have Dr. Oppenheim as my internist again, I listened and joined.

I would like to nominate my doctor, Laura Oppenheim. It has been a little over 2 years since I joined her practice at Ninth Street Internal Medicine.. Before that I was in the Penn system since I was a Penn employee. I had seen several primary physicians over the years and one by one they moved on.

Dr. Laura Oppenheim has been my PCP for many years. When she became a MDVIP physician I followed her. I made accommodations in my budget for I couldn't imagine her not continuing to treat me. The relationship we've formed through the years enables her to treat me as a person not a only a patient. I value her attention and care. She is a very special person.

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.
