Martin Kanovsky MD FACC FACP

Meet Martin Kanovsky MD FACC FACP

I grew up in a small town and strive to practice internal medicine like a small-town doctor. Each patient in my primary care practice is an individual who is cared for based on his or her individual needs. As your private doctor, my aim is to prevent disease and, if that is not possible, to be proactive and diagnose illness early and facilitate effective treatment. I get to know my patients well in order to accomplish these goals. A yearly, extensive wellness visit is the start of this process. This visit and all visits are unrushed and thorough. 

I am board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. I also provide advanced preventive screenings, including stress testing, echocardiography, vascular ultrasound and nuclear cardiology. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

My office is located in Chevy Chase, Maryland - a short walk from the Friendship Heights stop on the Red Line. This location is convenient for patients from Washington, Maryland and Northern Virginia. I see patients at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C. and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland (across the street from the National Institutes of Health). I was named by Washington Checkbook as a Top Doctor from 2005 to present and by Washingtonian as a Top Doctor from 2003 to present.

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.

I love Dr. Kanovsky! He was part of a team that saved my brother's life during a heart crisis.

from Elisabeth in MD • February 28, 2018
I got sick just before a trip. Feeling somewhat better, I decided to go. In hindsight this was not the best decision because I got worse a few days. later So there I was really sick in New York where I don't know any doctors. I called Dr. Kanovsky in D.C. He listened carefully to my symptoms and decided on a medication that he phoned in to the pharmacy two blocks down the street. Dr. Read more...
