Richard J. Seidt, MD

I like to tell Dr. Rich that he both cures and heals, the best possible conversation. I trust his medical knowledge, cautions, and advice. If he needs to prescribe meds or give a shot, its curative. But his healing is when we talk about human things, person to person...when I asked him for a prescription to help me as a senior with ED issues, and I told him about my love, he told me "I'm so glad you are seeing someone!" No other doctor I have ever had in my long life would say such a tender, supportive thing. Healing. And we can be playful as he gives me my annual physical, talking about family and food. When he told me he was no fan of beets (many are not) I made him casunziei, a beet ravioli I often make, for him and his wonderful staff, to prove beets can be terrific. I can't imagine having that kind of relationship with any other physician I've known in my 75 years, and I have had some good ones. He is thorough in way that wows me...the paperwork he gives me interpreting the results of his physical every year is so helpful. I feel encouraged by Dr. Rich to living my best and healthiest life. Who else says Hooray, I am going to see my doc today? I do all the time.....

When we moved 4 years ago, I dreaded leaving my Doctor of 22 years. He was excellent and I was concerned whether I could find someone who took as much interest in my health. This Doctor also cared for my father and brother, both with heart issues. Fortunately, another brother recommended MDVIP as he was a patient in Virginia. I decided to give it a try and researched the various MDVIP doctors in the area. I was so lucky to end up with Dr Seidt. He was not only concerned with my heart health but my overall health. He had several tests done to get a better picture of my heart health and changed my medicine to be more aggressive in lowering my risks. I sincerely believe he has added years to my life and I could not possibly thank him enough. I could go on and on with how comfortable I feel with him as my doctor. But I simply want to say THANK YOU. 

Last year I had pulmonary embolisms and I don’t know where I’d be without Dr. Seidt. Having such a major health problem was extremely difficult to go through but from the minute I got sick Dr. Seidt was involved in every step of my long and scary journey. He went above and beyond to help me both physically and emotionally, something I’ve found to be rare these days in medicine. Dr. Seidt took the time, many times, to talk to me and explain everything in detail. Dr. Seidt always understood my concerns and always figured out the best plan. I’m so grateful for our experience together. I feel so blessed that I had such incredible support and care during such a trying time. Thank you a million times, Dr. Seidt, you are the gold standard.

I have been retired for nearly 2 years now, and have been seeing Dr. Richard Seidt now for over 5 years. I was once a working and very stressed individual with a decent health condition but currently have a chronic health condition (UC) that has existed for over 20 yrs. Dr. Seidt has been working with me to help me understand my condition as well as my overall health, and has been very instrumental in improving my health over that time. Certainly, my retirement has helped quite a bit, but also working with Dr. Seidt to understand how to get the most of my life and retirement has been due to his strong efforts. Within the last year I've lost around 10 lbs and have the physical capabilities to enjoy my retirement to its fullest, especially traveling. I take quite exotic trips and do many physical things on my own which again is a testament to Dr. Seidt's help in getting me here. I recently returned from Panama after being there a month and again my quality of life could not be better. Thanks Dr. Seidt!
