About Phyllis V. Acquah, MD, MS

I believe personalized healthcare starts with listening—and with care that can fit your life.

I am a board certified family medicine MDVIP-affiliated physician dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care. I have more time to listen and discuss your concerns and partner with you to help you make more informed decisions about your health, with the goal of helping you work to achieve a healthier and rewarding lifestyle.

I am honored to care for patients throughout the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. I value building deeper relationships with individuals from diverse backgrounds while supporting both their immediate health needs and long-term wellness. Fluent in Twi and Ga, I aim to emphasize open communication and cultural understanding so my patients feel welcome, respected, unhurried and at ease.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. I want you to feel supported when you feel you need it.

With experience in both primary and urgent care, I can help patients as they work to address a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. I can also provide women’s health services, perform some outpatient services, and refer to specialists when needed.

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.
