Meet Rasha Hanafy, DO


MDVIP has helped me to practice medicine in a way that is truly patient focused. I know my patients well.  I am able to spend quality time with them. I am better in proactively treating my patients’ current health issues, as well as keeping their long-term health in mind. MDVIP allows me to combine my years of clinical experience, evidence-based medicine, and the goals and preferences of the patient to develop an individualized treatment plan.  

I have had the pleasure of being in private practice since 2004. For many years, I enjoyed taking care of patients in a setting which allowed me a generous schedule and the freedom to get to know individuals based on their independent health concerns and goals very well. However, just before partnering with MDVIP, it did become increasingly difficult to share that valuable attentive time and to provide personalized care to each patient. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to once again form and nurture close relationships with my patients. 

I am board certified in family medicine and board certified in osteopathic manipulative medicine, a set of hands-on techniques used to help diagnose, treat and prevent injury of the musculoskeletal system. I am actively studying functional medicine and plan to pursue my certification in functional medicine (a discipline in which you treat the underlying causes of disease rather than treating the symptoms).  I am proficient in evaluation, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and obesity; as well as being well-versed in the prevention and early detection of dementia and cancer.

Although I try to keep patients out of the hospital, I am affiliated with Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. I frequently serve the Maine communities of Falmouth, Cumberland, Yarmouth, South Portland, Scarborough, Gorham, Biddeford and Saco. However, I am humbled to have patients traveling from places as far as New Hampshire and Bangor to see me.

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.

Dr. Hanafy has been my primary care provider for nearly six years now. She's thoughtful and creative. She responds quickly. She has helped me through multiple asthma exacerbations and provides ongoing support for this condition.

She has referred me to cardiac specialists to monitor a mitral valve deficiency which I have had for decades.

She encourages wellness behaviors with specific suggestions for improved nutrition and exercise practices. She's empathetic and kind.

I'm grateful that she's my physician. I recommend her without reservation.

I too am very sad to lose my Primary Health provider. At a time when I feel like I finally have been on the right track with my health. Now to start over and have to rebuild a Patient/Dr relationship is so very stressful. Wish I was wealthy...I have a job with pretty good insurance but trying to raise a family and paying out an additional $1600.00 a year for maybe 4 or 5 visits just doesn't add up. Love both Doctors here but do not love the change. Wealthy people will be happy to have them.

Dr Hanafy and her staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Dr Hanafy takes as much time as I need to get my questions answered and if she doesn’t know the answer, she will research it and get back to me. Having a doctor who truly cares about me and how my life is going is the way medicine should be practiced. That is the care I have gotten during my first year with Dr Hanafy and MDVIP,

My doctor is knowledgeable, professional and kind. She listens well and makes appropriate eye contact. She responds quickly to any concerns I may have with sound direction and application.
I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a medical practioner who focuses on your whole self, gives you the time you need, and stays on top of medical research to share towards taking preventative measures in staying healthy.

After my experience w/Dr. Hanafy I will not return to the general Med as she has gone up and over every time I’ve needed immediate and general medical help. I never wait for a return answer and always have her and her team fighting for my health. I have many medical issue’s some days there’s multiple communications between us. On a Saturday she sent in my info and followed up w/the E.R. W/ phone calls to make sure everything in her power was done on my behalf. She is exactly the advocate I need 24/7.

Doctor Hanafy genuinely cares. If you’ve ever seen a physician who doesn’t really hear your concerns you will find Rasha Hanafy to be a breath of fresh air. Her Lab Tech, Pam, is also just delightful. I will sincerely miss both of them but simply can’t afford MDVIP healthcare right now.

It’s really sad to lose Dr hanafy. She is moving in a direction that very few can afford with VIPMD. She and Dr Blake will only see patients that can afford the $1600 yearly fee and will be catering to her wealthier patients while the rest of us have been kicked to the curb. When I asked for my scripts to be refilled through February of 2019, when my next yearly physical is due, I received a voicemail from her office staff that pretty much said sorry see ya and would not fill the scripts through February. So now I’m scrambling like many of their other patients trying to find a new Dr.

Dr. Hanafy is truly one of a kind. I’ve been seeing her for the past 15 years and she has helped me through a lot. She is such an amazing, kind, and caring doctor who really cares for her patients. Also Pam and Cathy that work with Dr. Hanafy are the best. I highly recommend Dr. Hanafy to anyone looking for a great doctor.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Dr. Hanafy and her support staff. Dr. Hanafy and her team have made me feel comfortable at every appointment, have a lightening fast turn around time with prescription assistance, provide clear explanations prior to any action and check for understanding, and make me feel like we're collaborating on my healthcare needs and not just being told what to do/not to do. I feel more engaged with my healthcare goals than I ever have been. I highly recommend their office!

Dr. Hanafy has been wonderful since meeting her for an initial meet and greet, as well as a first-time patient appointment – I felt immediately at ease and confident that I would be receiving expert medial care. De. Hanafy is friendly, kind, and attentive. I had my first yearly extensive health exam. She was awesome taking as much time as I needed to understand the results of all my tests and addressing my health concerns. The staff is also very helpful and personable. Thus far, my overall experience with this medical practice has been positive. HIGHLY recommend

My doctor for 32 years retired, and I lamented the loss of this learned, compassionate person who had looked after me for so long. It was hard to imagine how I could possibly start a new doctor/patient relationship, but then I was lucky enough to find Doctor Hanafy and her staff, and now I feel that I'm in very good hands again.
