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.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Berg before he became an MDVIP doctor. At that initial visit, I knew what I still know now, Dr. Berg is a great doctor because he is a kind, compassionate, honest, caring human being. There is never a time that Dr. Berg doesn’t follow up immediately to take care of my needs, no matter how trivial they are. He listens & respects what I say and cares Read more...

Dr. Berg has been my doctor for several years. He is an outstanding and caring doctor. When you're in his office he always treats you with kindness and gives you his undivided attention. His patients are a top priority to him. He always tries to make himself available whether it's just a phone call or appointment. I feel blessed that he is my doctor.
Importance of communication
from Edward in MD • March 12, 2020
Dr. Richard Berg has been my physician for some 28 years. The key to our relationship has been his ability to listen to the patient. He is most accommodating and I believe this is because he "hears" my concerns.
The special super caring Dr. Richard Berg
