Meet David W. Gehring, MD


Being a primary care physician trusted with the care of my patients is a privilege and honor that I hold sacred. I am proud to serve the residents of Alexandria, Virginia, and the surrounding communities, including Northern Virginia and D.C. I strive to forge a relationship with my patients based on empathy, deeper listening and compassion. Together, we can work to better improve physical and mental well-being. 

My goal is to provide more personalized medical care in a professional, peaceful and unhurried space. Consultations take place in a private, relaxing meeting room, not in an exam room like many traditional offices. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medical practices. My office also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal wait time.

I pride myself on being a diagnostician who has more time to cover health concerns with you. I am fortunate to have a network of trusted specialists to whom I refer to assist my patients.  

I seek to optimize wellness and prevention through a more personalized program focused on diet and exercise. I have a special interest in providing risk assessments and treatment recommendations for diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke prevention. I enjoy working with patients of all ages.

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 David W. Gehring, MD

The Best of the Best!

from Julia in VA • April 4, 2024
It’s one thing to be available to us, but for Dr. Gehring, his compassion and thoroughness is off the charts. I emailed him with an issue on a Sunday morning and before noon we communicated, which was promptly followed by an order and a prescription. Dr. Gehring is a wonderful physician and an even better person. He’s the best!

Gratefulness!

from Mary Ellis in VA • March 16, 2024
Dr. Gehring is passionate about his patients. He has always been responsive to my needs and resourceful in resolving any health issues I’ve had. He always returns my calls with a warm and loving concern. I’m grateful I have him as my primary care doc and know I’m receiving the best care in the most professional way. Kiddos to his wonderful staff—they are the best!

Thanks, Always

from Peter in VA • March 7, 2024
It's impossible to find a single moment that represents how valuable my relationship with Dr. Gehring is to me. I'm a bit of a fussy client, always questioning, second guessing, sometimes reversing my opinion about something, sort of like a swimmer zig zagging through the water so the shark won't eat him. At the end of the day, a calmer hear prevails (not mine), I settle and Read more...

Dr. Gehring is a Hero

from Leif P in VA • January 18, 2024
Over 20 years ago, Dr. Gehring saved my wife's life. She had the flu and she was having a hard time recovering. As I explained the symptoms to Dr. Gehring over the phone, he immediately told me that I should take her to the hospital. We went directly to the hospital. She went straight to the Emergency Room where she stayed for 3 days as they were trying to treat her for Pneumonia and it Read more...

My Health Champion

from George in VA • January 18, 2024
A few years ago, David Gehring "inherited" me as a patient when he took over the Alexandria, Virginia practice of Joel Temme...who had been my personal physician for many years. David proved to be a great listener and kept me focused on what I needed to do to monitor and insure my good health. A personal concern was my family history of prostate issues having witnessed by father suffer Read more...
