Meet Richard A. Berg, MD


Growing up in a small Pennsylvania town, I was influenced by the doctors who were completely dedicated to their patients constantly working in their best interest. And now that I have been practicing for 30 years, I have found that to be a compelling model for clinical practice. I believe this is a profession, not a trade, and I always work in my patient's best interest.
It is a privilege for me to function in a capacity where I can potentially help avoid medical problems or treat problems as they arise. My philosophy is to do my job, both technically and emotionally to the best of my ability and in the interests of my patients. My guiding principles are simple - tell the truth and don't be arrogant.
I believe my patients who are part of my MDVIP-affiliated practice value the same goals of health care which I embrace - the values of prevention and wellness and of allowing adequate time to effectively work together to keep them happy and healthy.

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.

Get ready to be surprised that this level of attentiveness exists in a doctor. If you want superb care, one with immediate access to other Drs. for referrals, respect in the hospitals and community, try him.

When Dr. Glasser retired it was impossable to find a MDVIP doctor other than the inexperienced physician who was his replacement. My only meeting with her was sufficient to realize she did not have the experience to meet my needs. I tried to associated myself with other MDVIP Docs but all the practices with experienced younger physicians were not accepting any new patients. Fortunately, Dr. Berg had availablity and I hope he will not retire in the near future.

Dr. Berg has been my physician for twenty years and he was my late husband's doctor, too. My most profound memory of Dr. B was the way he cared for my husband during a long illness, 2002, the first cancer diagnosis until 2021, my husband's death. During the last few years of his life, which was home care before and during the pandemic, Dr. Berg continued to be a significant part of his life, which included constant consideration to quality of life choices and more. My husband, Gordy, remembered Dr. Berg even during that last few years of limited cognition. If one of the many other doctors were involved in scheduling a procedure or new medication, the caregivers and I knew that we had to say DR.BERG was "in charge" and had initiated the action; then Gordy was confident that he was in the right hands.

As a widow, Dr. Berg's kindness, brilliance and compassion have led my sometimes challenging journey. He will always be held in a place of deep gratitude.

always available to us for advice and is available to us any'

Dr. Berg andd his entire staff are by far the best inthe business. Never before have I had a dctor actually listen to me and want to know "why am I here today" intead of simply diagnosing with littl feedback and writing an RX. Dr. Berg is a great doctor and even better human being. I am lucky to call him my PCP. Thank you, Dr. Berg and your entire team, it's a privilege to wrok with you all and be under your care.

Dr. Berg is absolutely the best physician I have ever attended. His compassion and listening to all of your problems and concern for you is unmatched. I feel very lucky that I have found dr. Berg. If you want a physician that truly has old school doctor ways, then dr. Berg is the doctor for you.
I am adding this addendum to my review I wrote 1 year ago. ALL of the things I pointed out a year ago are still 100% true and accurate. I just wanted to update this review because as hard as it is to believe, even for me, if anything his service towards me has gotten even better. I TRULY LOOK FORWARD to every appointment I have with my FRIEND, Dr. Berg.
I am adding this part 2 years ago was the first part. All of my opinions have done nothing but keep getting stronger. 3 1/2 years with Dr. Berg and I still can honestly say that my caring for him is stronger and he still does nothing but keep doing everything possible to care for me like no other!!

Dr. BERG is knowledgeable, caring and extremely attentive. There are only two things I find less than satisfactory in his practice in general. One is the fact that his staff is never consistent. Every time I go to his office there is someone new at the front desk, and taking blood or other tests. The second thing is that because of his rotating staff, Dr. Berg has no process for reminding patients when they’re due for their annual physical. Those are the only two reasons that I did not give the practice five stars.

He is very personable and has a great sense of humor. He put me at easy and I feel comfortable sharing my deepest feelings and concerns.
He is very accessible and responsive. He returns phone calls, text and emails promptly.

Never will come to this office ever again!
Reception was mean and rude because I came 5 minutes later than my appointment!
Regardless of only two patients in the reception waiting, staff told me to reschedule the appointment because they are too busy! I guess this doctor so busy that he doesn’t need new patients.
What happened to a quote- health and wellness comes first!
The manager instead of apologizing gave me attitude!
Terrible service, I guess these people don’t really care about doctors reputation
Don’t visit this office unless you want to feel humiliated

Very easy to talk to about anything without judgement like others i have met. I have been to other doctors & walked out mid way, but Dr. Berg is the complete opposite of those know it alls. He knows its your body & you understand it it more. He never discusses you with any other patients.

I’m convinced that MDViP gives me the confidence that my Dr. will be there when I need his help. My Dr. , Richard Berg , has filled that need perfectly. He and his staff have been very responsive. Fortunately, I haven’t had to deal with anything major, but I can tell by their response to prescriptions, new meds, and general scheduling, that they are real professionals.
