About Richard J. Friedland, MD

My passion as a primary care physician is to provide you with personalized care and attention with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my education, expertise and better understanding of your medical history and personal needs. Some of my professional interests and areas of focus include cardiovascular health and diabetes prevention. 

As one of only a few internal medicine doctors in Mercer County, New Jersey, offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide a level of care that fosters mutual respect and open communication, helping you achieve quality health. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time.

My story begins a couple of years ago when I was having a problem with my high blood pressure pills in that I would become light headed when I tpok my two blood pressure pills first thing in the morning. I had an appointment scheduled with my doctor and we discussed the problem deciding that I should take one n the morning and the other later in the day. Well, I did just that and it worked. I…

As someone who experiences anxiety it is reassuring that Dr Friedland is there for me. His excellent diagnostic skills are able to evaluate my physical issues and determine if they have a medical basis or not. I leave his office feeling better about my physical and mental health. The fact that I can contact him outside of office hours is a plus. I cannot thank him enough for his care and concern.

My 92 yo mom was recently in the observation area of the ER for 3 days followed by a 10-day transitional stay in skilled nursing before she returned to her assisted living facility.
Dr. Friedland was very responsive to my texts and questions and followed up in his office afterwards. It was very reassuring. I am grateful for the intimate connection with her MDVIP MD.

In January-February, I had a very serious health scare. Had symptoms re problem but it had not been diagnosed and Dr. Friedland had continually attempted to find a solution. A CAT test revealed an unexpected alarming diagnosis. Dr. Friedland became my advocate immediately!! After another CAT, Xrays, blood work, ER visit, and Specialist vist, it was determined that the test results which had been conflicting were leading to a diagnosis that was not accurate. Were it not for Dr. Friedland pursuing my seeing a specialist immediately, I might have had emergency surgery with some possible serious consequences when in fact this was not the solution to my condition. The current broken health system, ie not enough staff, long hours, computer systems that do not communicate with each other etc added alot of stress to an already complicated situation. Dr. Friedland's unwavering manner to do right by his patient in a system that is soooo broken, was a BLESSING! Bottom line, although he is not perfect, nor am I, I feel confident that he will be my advocate at all costs. I am grateful that he can give me the attention that MDVIP allows.

Every interaction I have had with Dr. Friedland which goes back close to forty years has been supportive, very knowledgeable, and diagnostically accurate. He has always suggested that I express my concerns and provided alternative suggestions as appropriate. If I have not been clear he has given me as time as I felt I needed and expressed interest and concern for my well being even as I have aged. [I note, unlike Dr. Friedland, that some doctors are less interested and concerned with older people.]

Dr. Richard is an excellent, thorough and concerned physician. Staff are also excellent. Both staff and Dr. Friedland are very responsive to any of my concerns or requests.

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.
