Dr. Bienenfeld

Meet Michael Bienenfeld, MD


I always try to follow the practice principles I was given when I finished my residency in internal medicine in 1986. First, be truthful to yourself and your patients no matter how much it hurts. Second, your patients are smart so present the options to them clearly and let them decide on what to do. However, be truthful in explaining the potential consequences of the decisions. Finally, if you really can’t help them medically, always be there for support.

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.

I've had some good general practitioners and some real stinkers, but in all cases the visits were transactional, with the minority of the time in the office being spent in the presence of the physician I was ostensibly a patient of. I didn't realize there was an alternative, but I can report confidently that there is. Dr. B and his team are kind, conscientious and focused on providing exceptional care. In two visits I've had more attention on long-term outcomes and time to arrive at a clear understanding of my health than my prior five years combined as a patient of the big hospital primary care machine. Unfortunately, I can't give six stars here so five will have to do.

Dr. Bienenfeld and his entire staff prove that concierge medicine is the best possible model for providing quality healthcare at a great value. It reminds me of what it used to be like when I was young. Dr. B, his nurse Karen and office manager Courtney are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I could not ask for a better physician or a better situation.

Dr. Bienenfeld is a very patient listener, who will spend whatever time is needed with his patients. As a patient, I have never felt that I needed to hurry to say whatever I felt I needed to say, and he has consistently been there to listen, and respond, helpfully.

We just moved to Cary and was looking for a doctor. Dr. Bienenfeld has every right to choose his patients. I don't know if his practice is good or bad because his office didn't communicate anything to me. I drove to his office the first part of March to fill out new patient paperwork and was was told that he would review and get back in about 3 weeks. At the end of that period, having heard nothing, I called the office. The person who answered the phone could provide no information because the office manager was off and she couldn't find my forms. I told her that I had placed all my eggs in the doctor's basket and just needed some answers for when there would be a decision. She said they would get back. As of today, (4/5/24) I have heard nothing from the office. I'm not sure I would want to place my health management in a practice that communicates that poorly. I would always wonder if they were paying attention to details of my health I should and would expect. If you choose to try and become a new patient with Dr. Bienenfeld I hope you have much better experence.
