About Matthew Lew, MD

I have often yearned for the early days of practice that my father, a family physician, described as one with more time to sit and converse with patients, to discuss not only current ailments, but also a patient's life and goals. He believed family medicine should be about a provider-patient relationship that reaches beyond the office, one that allows for caring for the patient as a whole. What a dream that must have been! When I learned this was possible today, I didn't hesitate at the chance to pursue this personalized care model.

I love getting to know people. It's what makes each day exciting for me. Being a physician is a unique way to offer service and help this wonderful community I was also born and raised in. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I can develop partnerships with my patients. We can work hand-in-hand on immediate needs, but also can plan ahead as you pursue your future health goals and wellness. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. I look forward to making each office visit one of enlightenment, motivation and excitement as we work toward your goals together.

My practice is in Glendale, California, and serves patients from multiple surrounding neighborhoods. As your personal doctor, as well as an attending physician at Adventist Health Glendale, it is important to me to help advocate for your care if you are hospitalized. I am also fluent in Spanish.

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.
