About Michael Zerafa, MD
My goal as an MDVIP-affiliated doctor is to provide proactive and personalized primary care. The foundation for this, I believe, is a stronger doctor-patient relationship that can allow us to tailor plans to your health goals.
I have a personal interest in longevity medicine so I tend to take an approach of encouraging patients to work toward preventing and reversing disease. It is my goal for my patients and I to be present in this healthcare moment while also thinking about the future. I look at each person as a whole, including their lifestyle, work and environment.
My staff and I are experienced in a range of specialties and we can support you in navigating different areas of health care. While I believe the healthcare system is complex and changing rapidly, the MDVIP model allows me more time to help advocate for you at every step of the process.
Over the last 13 years of practice, I’ve learned that it is such a privilege to serve as someone’s primary care doctor, and I take this role very seriously. I’m committed to staying abreast of current medical research.
I look forward to working with my patients!

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.
