About Saima Rashid, MD

Being a physician is my dream job, and as a dedicated internist, I am committed to providing patient-centered care through a more personalized approach to medicine. With more time to spend with each patient, I can focus on their unique needs, build stronger doctor-patient relationships and deliver care tailored to their individual health goals. Patients have direct access to me during and after office hours, and my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers same- or next-day appointments, along with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes comprehensive health screenings, advanced diagnostic testing and other services not typically available in traditional primary care practices.
This approach reflects my core values of compassion, integrity and personalized medicine, enabling me to provide more preventive, proactive and timely care. I strive to empower patients with the knowledge, guidance and support they need to make informed health decisions and achieve their wellness goals. By fostering meaningful partnerships with my patients, I reinforce my belief in the transformative power of personalized healthcare.

In my practice, I strive to help my patients feel empowered with knowledge and support as they pursue achieving their health goals, reinforcing my belief in the transformative power of personalized healthcare.

Dr Rashid is my mother’s physician. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and an amazing listener, which is so important when caring for elderly patients. She is always responsive to issues or questions when you need her. Something unique to her practice is that Dr. Rashid calls you to find out how you are doing until you are feeling better! You always feel she has your back.
My family is very happy with Dr. Rashid and her lovely office staff.

During a very challenging time, Dr. Saima Rashid stood out among all the doctors we encountered for her compassion, commitment, and technical expertise. She always made herself available, gave us her full attention, and had boundless patience for our many questions. Her thoughtful guidance helped us make critical decisions with clarity and confidence.

What makes Dr. Rashid truly exceptional is that she is customer-centric and genuinely listens to her patients. She takes the time to provide holistic and customized care plans, making you feel heard, understood, and supported.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because of the outstanding level of care Dr. Rashid provides. She is an extraordinary physician and an even more extraordinary human being.

I highly recommend Dr. Rashid if you’re looking for a doctor who cares about your health and well-being instead of just diagnosing you as fast as possible and writing you a prescription. I met Dr. Rashid for the first time recently, and I was very impressed by her knowledge and touched by her caring about me. Under this MDVIP healthcare model for PCPs she provides individual attention at each office visit, same or next day sick visits and a comprehensive physical exam after which she sits down and talks to you for about an hour about all the testing and screening that they did.

Dr Rashid is the internist for both my wife Carol and myself. She is thorough and caring, with a keen eye towards keeping us healthy in every way. She is one of those rare physicians that delves deeply into all the factors that keep us well in addition to treating our various health issues. Her bedside manner is delightful and we feel lucky to have her as our primary physician.

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.
