About 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.

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.


They are very compassionate and thorough of my care and I am grateful to have them as my practitioners.
I would strongly recommend her to anyone whom is interested in her type of practice.














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.


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.
