About Randal P. Riesett, MD

The ability to care for individuals across their lifespan is a privilege which I treasure. My goal, as your personal physician, is to use my knowledge and experience, combined with my passion for teaching, to educate you on health and wellness. The foundation of quality primary care is the doctor-patient relationship. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice I will be able to develop and build upon that relationship so I can help you maintain better health and more effectively treat illness. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. 

My internal medicine practice conveniently located just north of Columbia, Maryland has been providing care to residents of Howard, Baltimore and Carroll Counties for over 15 years. My personalized approach to healthcare, has resulted in my being named a “Best Doctor” in Baltimore Magazine in 2014, 2016 and 2017. While my internal medicine training has provided me with a broad medical background, I have a particular interest in cardiovascular disease, geriatrics and gastroenterology. I currently hold privileges at Howard County General Hospital.

Shortly after becoming a patient of Dr. Riesett, I came down with an ailment, which had previously required hospitalization if not treated immediately. I called Dr. Riesett after office hours, and he was on his way to a personal event, but he stopped off to discuss my issue, and was able to prescribe the medicine I needed immediately, so I could begin my treatment, and avoid a very painful…

I was feeling very anxious and panicky. Doctor Riesett took me right away and when I left his office after a reassuring conversation with him, I felt like a different person. He is never in a rush an is very kind and has a wonderful sense of humor!

Dr. Randal Riesett has been my primary care physician since 2015. I’ve always appreciated his calm demeanor and patience. Since his affiliation with MDVIP he has even more time to answer my questions and address my concerns. During my annual physical in 2022, I casually mentioned that I’d been feeling clumsy and that occasionally I had to catch myself before falling. Dr. Riesett asked me several…

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.
