What Members Are Saying

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.

Patient of Richard A. Berg, MD

I am so grateful for Dr. Richard Berg's care and compassion. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure I feel heard and supported. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a kind and extremely smart, and knowledgeable healthcare professional!

Oscar

Patient of Richard A. Berg, MD

I'm a 64 year old male. I have dealt with many doctors through my personal medical care and as a litigation attorney who regularly interacted with and relied on doctors that treated my clients. In all my years, I have simply never met a more compassionate, interested, gracious doctor than Dr Berg. He is ALWAYS accessible and on the few occasions I've had to call him on a weekend, not only does he spend whatever time I need, he always encourages me to call him back, anytime. He's obviously very bright, but he also digs in to research the answer to a question he can't answer off the top of his head. We live in a time where doctors are burnt out and pressured to see more patients and give them less time. Dr Berg has managed to remain engaged, but he makes me feel as if I'm his most important patient, simply because i'm not used to his level of care. MDVIP may not be cheap, but it is worth every penny, when I can get the piece of mind and quality of care I receive from Dr B.

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.

Dr. Berg uses all of his knowledge to try to find a cure for what is ailing me. If he doesn’t know, he researches Read more...

Dr. Richard Berg has been a comfort to me through breast cancer, brain surgery, and heart surgery. He is a wonderful listener and is always wanting his patients to be as well as possible. I find him to be a healing physician and am fortunate to have him as my physician.

As I get older more health problems seem to appear. Dr. Berg is always available to assist me. Even when I'm in Florida away from Baltimore he is only a call away. He answers my questions and finds solutions keeping me well. Our discussions during my yearly checkup are warm and friendly, he's not just my doctor but a friend I can rely on whenever I need advice. Dr Berg is the Best !

from Fritzie in MD • January 21, 2024

Dr. Richard Berg (Dick) has been my physician since his early days of practicing medicine. ( before MDVIP) I remember going to many offices to see him since he didn’t maintain one yet. He is & has always been thorough, sincere & thoughtful of mine & my family’s health & care. I left his care when he joined MDVIP because I did not think I needed that kind of care. However, Read more...

I have been a patient of Dr. Berg’s for at least 25 years. He has supported me through many health issues - providing excellent care and making referrals when specialists were indicated. Appointments are quickly scheduled, the wait to see him is insignificant and he never seems rushed during an appointment. Telephone calls and texts are answered promptly. I could not ask for better care. I love Read more...
