About Paul Tchao, MD
My goal as your private doctor is to partner with you to create a Ā personalized healthcare plan to better treat your current health problems and prevent new ones. I understand and celebrate that internal medicine patients have specific medical needs and desire a unique path to positive health outcomes. I will work and partner with you at each step of this journey to assist you with making informed decisions towards achieving your goals, whether it is running your first marathon, improving your nutrition, reducing the use of medication or helping you stop smoking. As one of the few preventive medicine internists offering this personalized healthcare approach, I focus on knowing each one of my patients well beyond their immediate needs. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.Ā
My primary care practice is located in Deer Park, New York and focuses on woman and men's integrated health and preventive care, in addition to all aspects of internal medicine. I am affiliated with Stony Brook University Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and Southside Hospital. I am also on the teaching staff at Stony Brook University Hospital Medical School. I am fluent in English, French, Creole, German, Chinese Mandarin and Chinese Cantonese.Ā
I will be honored to be your personal health adviser. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice I will treat you as a member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where you will benefit from the full extent of my education expertise with compassion and understanding.

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 canāt, including same- and next-day appointments. Theyāre 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 doesnāt 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 physicianās 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.
