What Members Are Saying

I live in a farm in central Pennsylvania. I was coming in from the barn and was out of breath. I got into the house , sat down and felt better. I took my pulse and it was 33. I was going to lie down and take a nap but my 13 year old granddaughter insisted that I call the doctor. After confirming my pulse rate with a cuff I called Dr Maleh’s office and left the information with the receptionist. Minutes later Dr Maleh called and said Jim , “ you got my attention with a pulse rate of 32.” He instructed me to go to the nearest hospital IMMEDIATELY. I went to Geisinger and had a pacemaker that afternoon. I am very grateful to Dr Maleh for his prompt response and advise in handling this matter. I was told at the hospital that I might not have survived a nap. They were very complimentary of DrMaleh’s prompt response.

Patient of David J. Maleh, MD

Dr. Maleh has been my physician for the last few years. He also cared for my late husband during the last several months of his complicated care. When my long-time primary care physician retired, I felt very concerned for my husband and myself. When I reviewed the list of local MDVIP physicians accepting new patients, I saw Dr. Maleh's name. Then I remembered something. Years ago, as a medical social worker, I had worked on a hospital in patient with Dr. Maleh. I do not remember the circumstances, but I definitely remember how I felt working with Dr. Maleh. I immediately called his office. Thanks to him and his staff, I continue to enjoy good health.

My wife, Phyllis, and I are relative newcomers to the MDVIP program. Our longtime primary care physician, who we loved and respected for some 30 years, retired. We were concerned we'd never find anyone as good. Not to worry. A friend recommended Dr. David Maleh, and we just love him. We've been patients for only about 14 months, but every visit to his office has been wonderful. We've had two wellness checks and several other visits for minor aches, pains or illnesses. Dr. Maleh has been great, exhibiting lots of wisdom, patience and care. He and his MDVIP staff have been Godsends since we are over 80 and struggling to stay in our own home. He's a super doctor, and we're so grateful he's just a phone call away.

Meet David J. Maleh, MD

As your private primary care physician, my goal is to provide you with the optimal patient experience by focusing on prevention, early detection and treatment of both acute and chronic issues. Central to the delivery of this care is a strong relationship between each individual patient and his or her physician. Personalized health care provides me with an opportunity to achieve this relationship with my patients and offers you more favorable outcomes and satisfaction moving forward.

This is why I am so excited to be affiliated with MDVIP; it will allow me to do what I do best, take care of you! I trained at Christiana Care and have been a practicing physician here in Delaware for 17 years, including the last 12 at my primary care office. I have maintained my affiliation with Christiana Care and remain an active member of its Performance Excellence Committee since 2014. I was recognized as a Top Doc in Delaware Magazine in 2014 and in Philadelphia Magazine from 2014-2017. My practice is located in North Wilmington and I presently serve patients in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

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 J. Maleh, MD

He takes the time

from Bethany in DE • January 20, 2024

Dr Maleh truly listens to me. He asks questions that are not condescending and he genuinely cares for my well-being. He was equally patient with my late mother who had been a patient of his predecessor for forty some years. She could be fussy about explaining her symptoms and he treated her with the same kindness that he shows me.. After she died, he was one of the few health professionals who Read more...

from Nicole in DE • January 20, 2024

I have a had a lot of medical complexities with fistula forming Crohn's Disease. I also have a high-stress professional career, and I cannot afford to take a sick day. Having immediate access to my primary care doctor has been a blessing that has kept me healthy and kept me going in my life!

No one better

from Gregory in DE • January 19, 2024

I’ve had the pleasure of having Dr. Maleh as my primary care doctor for almost 18 years… there’s no one I’d rather have as my doctor.. has ALWAYS had a way of explaining or simplifying things, health wise, for me to understand.. thanks for Everything you’ve done, Dr. Maleh!!

My Doctor, One of my biggest cheerleaders

from Janice in DE • January 19, 2024

In 2018 I was on the operating room table to have a Gastric Sleeve. Imagine my surprise to wake up to be told they couldn't do my surgery. They had seen a shadow on my liver so they aborted the planned surgery and did a biopsy instead. My Mom had died from Cholangiocarcinoma (ko-lan-g-o-car-sin-o-ma) aka bile duct cancer in 2011 and even thou I had been told it was not genetic, I too, was Read more...

Dr. Maleh understands the individual patient.

from Kathleen in PA • March 18, 2020

When something needed to be done about my rising LDL cholesterol level, Dr. Maleh discussed my taking medication. When I asked if I could first try changing my diet and exercise routine instead, he was cautious yet supportive. Thirteen years later, I am still able to manage it without drugs. I’m grateful there are wonderful medications available if and when I need them. I am even more grateful to Read more...
