About Sarah Whiteford, MD
At the heart of my MDVIP-affiliated practice is my commitment to building trusted, long-term
relationships with my adult patients. For more than 20 years, I served as a family physician at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) and in private practice, where I have focused on preventive and personalized care, tailoring plans to each patient’s goals and lifestyle.
My clinical interests include lifestyle and preventative medicine, weight management and
women’s health, particularly peri- and menopause care. I work with patients to develop
practical, sustainable strategies that can support long-term health, integrating evidence-based
medicine with guidance on nutrition, physical activity and stress management.
Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles in designing patient-centered practices,
improving clinical operations using Lean principles, and collaborating across clinical specialties to help design methods for coordinating care for patients at large.
I am honored to have been recognized multiple times as a Top Doctor in Baltimore
Magazine and as a top family physician by The Baltimore Sun, acknowledgments that reflect my dedication to patient-focused care.
Through my affiliation with MDVIP, I am able to offer a more personalized and proactive model of care, with more time and resources to help each patient address their unique health needs.

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.
