The practice of medicine is both an art and a science. Each patient is an individual with their own distinctive issues. The MDVIP model, that emphasizes wellness and personalized care, will allow me to explore the science and practice the art of medicine with each patient.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Ralph A. Lanza, MD, FACP

God Bless Dr. Ralph Lanza

from Nein in PA • March 19, 2024
Image provided by: Nein
I have been a patient of Dr. Ralph Lanza for the past 34 years. During my association with Dr. Lanza he has never failed me in providing comfort, diagnosis, sincere caring and respect. When a medical specialist is recommended and needed, the specialist confirms the malady of concern and states, "Ralph sent you, didn't he, the man always hits the target". I am now 84 yrs. and rely on Dr. Lanza for Read more...

Castle Connolly

from Jeanette in PA • March 5, 2024
Doctor Lanza has been my Primary Care Physician for many years. Always willing to spend time with you. Remember the time my son came to a visit with me and Dr. Lanza spent more than a hour extra time to explain my medical history and why I had many visits to my dermatologist. Very proud Dr. Lanza has been recognized for this award.

Almost a part of our family

from John in PA • March 2, 2024
Ralph Lanza is more than just our doctor, he is almost part of our family. Not only is he a great physician, but he truly cares for each of the members of our family. He takes whatever time is needed to explain a medical issue and doesn’t sugar coat it. Then he tells you what we can do to make it better or at least live with it or may suggest another doctor or organization who may have more Read more...

Great Doctor

from Eve in PA • March 2, 2024
I feel Dr Lanza's skill has extended my healthy, active life by years through his watchful and experienced assessment of all manner of things. I truly appreciate the extra time he has taken to see and/or contact me when I know his schedule is tight. I'm very happy to be his MDVIP patient!

We are blessed

from Carol in PA • March 1, 2024
My mom has been going to Dr Lanza for decades and eventually I switched over. It was one of the best decisions I made.
Dr Lanza is a good man, a hard worker, conscientious and a wonderful doctor. He is always there for us. My mom tells him he is not allowed to retire 😊
