About Richard M. Del Sesto, MD, MS
As your personal primary care physician, I will partner with you so that we can create an individualized healthcare plan. We will not only effectively manage and better treat your current health problems, but also actively focus on disease prevention and wellness. I will help you achieve your health goals through every chapter of your life - whether it’s running your first marathon, improving your nutrition or reducing the use of medications, when possible.
We will make full use of the many preventive care resources available through the MDVIP Wellness Program. This includes advanced screenings and counseling for heart health, diabetes prevention, nutrition, respiratory health, bone health, fitness and more. With nearly 25 years of practicing internal medicine in the community, I have relationships with many specialists who may be able to help you with your unique needs. I am an internal medicine doctor with a master’s degree in nutrition, with interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and
diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. You will benefit from the full extent of my expertise, compassion and dedication, as well as from the individualized attention of my professional and caring staff. My primary care practice is located in East Greenwich. I care for patients throughout Rhode Island, including North Kingstown, Warwick, Narragansett, Providence, Coventry, Cranston, Wakefield and Middletown. I am affiliated with South County Hospital and Kent Hospital.

They encourage me to continue with my active lifestyle of road running and softball even as I enter my 70’s.

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.
