A true partner in health who you can reach 24/7 and see same- or next-day. Dr. DiPietro, Family Medicine physician, offers a different approach to primary care.

He sees fewer patients, which means more time for each one. Patients appreciate same/next-day appointments that start on time and aren't rushed; plus they can usually reach his 24/7. His practice also offers other services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Dr. DiPietro develops a personalized wellness plan based on the results of the wellness program. His MDVIP-affiliated practice is open to new patients.
