Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Extremely knowledgeable about medicine. She is up to date on the latest information in this fast changing field. She is very professional, taking her work very serious. I am very confident in her abilities.

My MDVIP Experience
I am very happy with my relationship with Dr. Oppenhiem. During my visits and inquiries she is always thorough and attentive to my concerns. After such encounters I have a full understanding of the issues and planned treatment. Dr. Oppenheim and her staff are very responsive whenever I reach out with a question. I would highly recommend Dr. Oppenheim to anyone who is looking for an MDVIP physician.

Outstanding Service!
I have been a patient of Dr. Oppenheim's through MPVIP for a few years now, and I could not be more satisfied. I am so very glad I made this move, as now I have immediate access to expert medical advice and care whenever I need it, I get annual physicals and wellness checks, and the entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Thanks, Dr. Oppenheim! Thanks, MDVIP!

Dr Oppenheim presents a very calm and caring demeanor. Besides being knowledgeable and present in a very personal way, she listens with genuine concern and compassion. I never feel rushed. Expertise and honesty are hopefully a given for a physician but for me humanity is the most important quality.

She is thorough, attentive and caring.
When I first made an appointment to see Dr. Oppenheim she asked to see my prior medical records. I brought her a few hundred pages of my record from the Veterans Administration Health Care Center in Philadelphia PA. When I saw her a few days later, she told meI have emphysema, a serious progressive illness my PCP at the VA ignored and failed to treat this condition. Dr. Oppenheim prescribed an inhaler for me and my breathing has improved noticeably. I am so lucky to now have a PCP who pays close attention to my health.

Excellent Physician
I feel very lucky in the current medical environment to work with Dr. Oppenheim. I have total confidence in her judgment. Her response time through emails or calls in the event of a more immediate concern is extremely timely. She is always upbeat, interested in what is going on with me, and evaluates the 'whole' person, not just a specific condition or medication or test. She has a wide breath of knowledge and experience and brings it to each in-person visit or other form of communication and balances this with compassion and attention, even in the context of today's busy and challenging health care environment for physicians. I have a number of chronic conditions and require a multiple medications. I have a very high level of confidence in her judgment when it comes to managing these conditions and any changes in medication management and follow-up that are needed. I'm grateful for her care and how hard she works to meet high standards of care.

It’s enjoyable speaking with Dr. Oppenheim and I look forward to my visits. (I misunderstood the setting for the bedside manner question because I thought it referred to inpatient hospital visits.). Her manner is lovely.

DR OPPENHEIM IS THE BEST
Dr Oppenheim is always ready to help me whenever I have a problem from small to large. She calls be back in record time if I have a question or if she has some information (e.g. test results). Her bedside manner is excellent. She's available to talk or to see me in person whenever I have need of feedback or to see her for a problem. She is so thorough. I just can't believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful doctor. I haven't been admitted to the hospital since I began with Dr Oppenheim, but I have ended up in the emergency room several times. She always calls me and often calls ahead to the emergency room to let them know what is wrong. So in sum, I am exceedingly happy with Dr. Oppenheim.

We use to love her but..... we’ve been really disappointed over the past year. Too many mistakes, rude and incompetent front staff , wrong prescriptions, rushed, doesn’t listen and more. Great if you’re heathy but not a good doctor if you are sick.
