About Zheni Avram, MD, FACP, DABOM
With more than 20 years of experience in internal medicine, I have come to believe that the foundation of healthier aging is preventive care. In today’s fast paced, technology-driven healthcare environment, I am committed to providing personalized, patient-centered primary care that prioritizes time, attention and deeper connection.
I believe every patient deserves to be heard. Taking more time to sit with my patients, listening to their concerns, and working together to discuss care strategies are at the heart of my approach. Because each individual is unique, care plans can be tailored to fit each patient’s specific needs, goals and lifestyle.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice allows me to implement my commitment to preventive medicine while building stronger, lasting doctor-patient partnerships. By spending more time with each patient, I can help them focus on prevention and wellness strategies as well as offer comprehensive care designed to support them as they pursue long-term health and quality of life.
My clinical interests include metabolic health, diabetes, weight management and women’s health—areas in which I strive to provide compassionate, individualized care. I am proud to serve patients throughout the greater Richmond area.
Also, I am fluent in Albanian and Romanian.
Outside of the office, you can find me reading, skiing, traveling and spending time with my family.

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.
