About Stewart Greisman, MD, FACP
I trained to be an academic rheumatologist but realized that I enjoyed taking care of the whole person, not just one aspect of their health. When I finished my fellowship at The Hospital for Special Surgery, I stepped into my dad’s internal medicine practice on Manhattan’s west side. I was welcomed by the patients as family; I was the son who was going to keep the practice going so they would not lose the medical home they had known for 50 years. Since 1986 I have strived to fill that mandate, to care for my “family” of patients by providing comprehensive state of the art preventive health screenings and education regarding wellness. When they are ill, my academic background is an asset in diagnosis and treatment.
I have partnered with MDVIP because it will allow me to continue to provide personalized health care in this time of increasing pressures on private practices. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. The program provides the gift of time, a rare commodity in busy practices these days. Time translates to more in depth wellness examinations, more educational opportunities for nutritional and exercise interventions and more ability to coordinate care at times of illness. As a board-certified rheumatologist, I have added expertise in sports injuries and exercise programs, back problems, autoimmune diseases and arthritis.

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.
