Dr. Babitz

Meet Lisa E. Babitz, MD


Communication is essential for a healthy doctor-patient relationship. A skilled physician is an educator; she interprets complex medical concepts and helps her patients apply them to their personal health and wellness goals. In order to know these goals, the physician must know her patients. Private practice should be a place of comfort where the staff and physician know you, not some assembly line with an impossible phone tree and physician extenders who provide most of the care with limited doctor face time. 

I had the privilege of starting my private internal medicine practice in 1986 by assuming the 50 year practice of my father-in-law in midtown Manhattan’s west side. We cared for multi-generational families from the neighborhood and gradually expanded to include patients from all the boroughs of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island. By taking my own histories and not relying on nurses or physician’s assistants for vital signs and procedures, I have always placed emphasis on getting to know my patients. My affiliation with MDVIP allows me to continue to devote the time and effort necessary to provide my patients with a personalized, preventive medicine and early detection program. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. As a fellowship trained geriatrician, I have expertise in healthy aging, brain health, coordination of complex care and medication simplification to avoid adverse drug reactions. As an academically trained internist, I have a research background in nutrition and memory. My wellness programs focus on cardiovascular health, diabetes prevention, brain health and early detection of cancers.

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 doctor does know best

from Margaret in NY • February 10, 2024
I had some stomach pain late one Friday night and thought about going to the ER. However I was much better Saturday and no pain at all on Sunday. I did call Dr Babitz Monday morning and she was adamant I go to the ER. I argued, strongly, against going since I was fine but did go. I was embarrassed to be sitting in the ER, feeling fine, surrounded by truly sick people. Eventually I got a CT Read more...

Saturday night fever

from Barbara in NY • January 18, 2024

I tested positive for Covid-19 at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. My doctor was available on the phone, knew which pharmacies carried the antivirals and which did not, and sent in the prescription immediately. Her colleague called the next day to find out how I was doing. Brava! I am 86 years old, and the timely access to the appropriate medication may have saved my life.
