About Susan E. Bienert, MD

As a primary care doctor, I believe practicing medicine is an art, and living a life focused on wellness is attainable for everyone at every age. My goal is to start with open, honest and unhurried communication, to create personalized healthcare that responds to your specific needs and challenges, whether your concerns are aging well or managing your health in a busy life with children.  I offer telemedicine visits to stay connected with my patients when they are unable to see me in the office.  

As a female doctor, I have a particular focus on women’s health, as well as primary care of children/teens. I have great enthusiasm for all the ways to improve your overall wellness and will work with you to create healthy lifestyle habits I use myself. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My patient base is the Northern Virginia and DC metro areas, including Springfield, Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, as well as Maryland. 

I am affiliated with INOVA Alexandria Hospital and was named a Top Doctor by Northern Virginia Magazine for three consecutive years and one of the Best Doctors in America® in 2014. 

Great health is a journey and one worth attention, personalization, time and effort. I look forward to walking you along the path of wellness as your family doctor!

I have been blessed to have pretty good health most of my life, so my interactions with Dr. Bienert is typically during my annual physical. From the time I enter the practice and am greeted by the staff and PA I feel at ease. And when Dr. Bienert enters the exam room, bright and cheerful it’s like greeting a good friend. I am comfortable sharing and catching her up on my life’s events since our…

I first met Dr. Bienert while visiting my brother in Virginia. She was able to help me with a medical issue at that time. After meeting her I knew I wanted to be able to see her as my PCP. After explaining the MDVIP program I knew I wanted to join to see Dr. Bienert as my primary but also realized I could seek treatment if needed while on the road. I live full-time traveling the US in a…

DR Bienert remains my longest care giver of all time. I am privileged to have her and know that she takes good care of my wife, which is the most important thing that she adds to my health care.
I wanted to send this picture. it's just a sunset on Chincoteague Island VA. But when it finally sank below the horizon, people were stopped all along the road d just watching and smiling.…

Dr. Bienert is responsive, caring, and smart. In times when I've dealt with confusing and unnerving medical symptoms, she's been extremely helpful in figuring out what's going on and, when needed, providing great referrals to specialists who can work in tandem with Dr. Bienert and provide additional medical treatment as needed.

Dr Bienert was not directly involved in my last hospitalization except to monitor me and help me after I was discharged. I was not in one of "her hospitals". But after discharge, I was very thankful for her help with post discharge medication issues prescribed by other providers. She went to bat (communicated) for me and got my medication straightened out with several other doctors. She helped me greatly with my recovery options and gave me good advice. I will always be thankful for her personal support during this time.

The highest compliment I can think of is that, having recently moved away, I am considering coming 140 miles back to Alexandria from time to time to maintain Dr. Bienert as a primary care physician. She has been thoroughly competent and explains everything very clearly, without sugar-coating when I need to take action on my own ! She has made solid referrals to specialists when needed and follows up to make sure everything is going well. Truly a remarkable experience, and not just a one-time event: it has been this way for several years.

She always listens and cares. She has been my doctor for a few years now and I couldn't ask for a better one. She sees me quickly and throughly. She loves tennis which I do as well so that's a bonus!😉

I have been a patient of Dr. Bienert for over 15 years. She cares about her patients and it shows in how attentive she is and how much time she allots for her appointments. For my last annual check-up, she and I spent at least 60 minutes together, going over my past year's health history, eating habits, exercise regime, etc. Oh, and whenever I have a need for a short-notice appointment, I can always get in either the same or next day. She leaves time in her schedule for unplanned appointments. In my experience, that is rare.

Susan Bienert had to be one of the most rudest and condescending medical professional I have ever encountered. She was abrasive and arrogant and I felt she wanted to start laughing at me when I was telling her what was going on with me. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

Dr. Bienert is one of the best doctors that I have worked with in managing my healthcare. She has a warm, friendly personality and is very thorough during annual wellness visits. She explains all results in detail and encourages questions and feedback. She’s also very responsive to phone or private messages. I would highly recommend Dr. Bienert to anyone looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, and caring family physician.

They take your insurance but you have to pay a membership fee. For me I was told will be $900+ ...the phone call wasn't even welcoming, she was very robotic and obviously didn't get much of my attention besides the outrageous about of money I'd have to pay other then my copay... I'll definitely be looking elsewhere.

I have been a patient of another doctor in her practice for over 10 years, but have seen Dr. Bienert several times when my doctor has been away. Each time I found her to be punctual. professional, attentive to my concerns, thorough, and clear when explaining the diagnosis and treatment. Just last evening my wife (a regular patient of Dr. Bienert's) and I attended a patient appreciation reception her practice held, which was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the practice's doctors and staff on a more personal level. That's something I had never experienced before from a doctor.

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.
