About Sadaf Mustafa, MD, DABOM
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here, and I thank you for considering me your partner in health care.
I am triple board certified in internal medicine, obesity medicine, and lifestyle medicine. Inspired by Sir William Osler, a founding professor at Johns Hopkins, who said, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease," I adhere to this philosophy. By combining evidence-based medicine, lifestyle coaching, and attentive listening, I aim to support your mental, physical and overall health by looking beyond symptoms. Together, we'll set meaningful goals, track your progress, and develop personalized plans tailored to your lifestyle. You are in control; I am here to guide, educate, and support you at every stage.
My primary care practice focuses on transformative lifestyle changes and personalized, holistic approaches to address the root causes of chronic illness. With more than ten years of primary care experience and specialized certifications in cardiometabolic health, behavioral change, obesity medicine, and lifestyle medicine, I am equipped to support your health goals. Using the MDVIP model, I provide unhurried appointments and convenient options, including same-day or next-business-day visits, so we can listen, plan, and follow up effectively.
I approach my patients with the same respect, compassion, and dedication I show to my own family, emphasizing shared decision-making. Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou's words, "As a physician, you have the power to heal the body, but as a fellow human being, treating someone like family heals the spirit," I aim to foster a similar mindset in primary care. My focus is on supporting small, consistent improvements and meaningful steps that lead to lasting health and happiness.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy my family life as a devoted life partner, dedicated mother, and caring daughter. We spend our days hiking, cooking, playing board games, doing crafts, and working out together. I am also a proud cat mom to Simba, Christi, and Autumn.

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.
