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.

Barry

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.

Testimonials from patients of Richard A. Berg, MD

His kind of personality.

from Genie • March 24, 2017

I didn't use to know there was any other kind of Dr except a puppy mill Doctor. Small towns where I have lived didn't have the kind of Dr. who is affiliated with a famous research hospital and also considers it his job to spend time with patients. His approach is whatever time it takes to think through your problems and treat your whole body is what I'll do. Dr. Dick Berg is the Read more...

great doc, great person

great doc, great person

I know that any time that I have a question, whether by phone or e-mail, Dr. Berg will answer in a timely fashion.

from MARILYN M in MD • February 6, 2014

I know that any time that I have a question, whether by phone or e-mail, Dr. Berg will answer in a timely fashion. I have sent an e-mail at midnight and when I read the answer in the morning, I see that he wrote his reply at 3:00 a.m. How's that for an incredible response??

First of all, Dick Berg is inherently kind.

from Betty in MD • February 20, 2014

First of all, Dick Berg is inherently kind. Careful in his choice of words, he tends to be reassuring and would never do anything to embarrass his patient or blame her for her condition. He views the doctor- patient relationship as a partnership; and if we disagree may say I'm not a dictator. I feel he has the highest degree of integrity and is guided by the patient's welfare, even Read more...

He is so kind, compassionate, very attentive.
