About Laura Oppenheim, MD

As the daughter of a family physician, I always hoped to emulate my father in his profession. And now, as a practicing physician in center city Philadelphia, I continue to model my father's approach: attentive, thoughtful, careful and patient. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will be able to closely work with you to help you achieve and maintain your health goals. You will benefit from my education, experience and energetic commitment to care. I also offer conveniences, like same- and next-day appointments that start on time, 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 a board-certified geriatrician. I am keenly aware of the complex medical issues that people face as they age. I am dedicated to providing quality, evidence-based medicine to effectively treat and guide all my patients. I listen to my patients, treat them effectively and serve as their advocate through a complex medical landscape.

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

What our members are saying

Dr. Oppenheim has followed me for years. I have a number of medical issues and look upon her as the captain of my ship. She coordinates my care and always guides me in the right direction. I trust her implicitly! The one moment that I remember most occurred approximately 15 months ago when I was hospitalized. My hospital team was divided on its recommendations for surgery. Dr. Oppenheim…

Some years ago, when I was having relationship problems , Dr Oppenheim took the time and had the interest to sit with me , listen to me, talk to me and try to help. It was much appreciated. It displayed a level of concern that told me I wasn’t just a bunch of medical problems to be solved but a real whole person.

I do not have a specific milestone but my story is simply about my doctor's ongoing support. I was a patient of Dr. Laura Oppenheim before she became a VIP Doctor, but because of the care that I received, I decided to stay with her. Wether it is an annual exam or followup appointment, Dr. Oppenheim handles each appointment with equal importance. She took the time and got to know me and my…

I have worked with Dr, Oppenheim since before she began her MDVIP practice and it was important for me to continue the relationship. She is the best primary care physician I have ever worked with. She is warm and caring but professional and appropriately boundaried. She is responsive and easy to reach. She coordinates extremely well with other providers. I have recommended her to others but…

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.
