If you're a member of our medical community, we don't make you wait for an appointment when you need us the most. When our patients are sick, we see them that day. If you need to reach your providers after office hours, we are the on-call doctors. You will no longer be directed to an on-call physician separate from our practice who is otherwise unfamiliar with your medical history or needs.

What is MDVIP? MDVIP stands for Medical Doctor Value In Prevention. It is a medical model that focuses on a tailored health and wellness plan for the patient, giving you access to your provider 24/7. You and your MDVIP-affiliated doctor will form a partnership focused on better health and overall well-being that starts on day one.

I absolutely enjoyed my experience with Community Health Center. They are very thorough in their physicals and ask questions about your health and lifestyle that are essential to a positive physical experience. The office staff was knowledgeable, helpful and super friendly. I love having the security of knowing my doctor is right around the corner to help, or a phone call away.

My most recent visit was with Michelle Young. She is very professional but with a great "bedside" manner that makes you feel at ease. She is caring and takes the time to listen and does not rush you through the visit. I would recommend her highly to anyone needing the attention provided by an APRN.

I absolutely love Cheryl Rosenthal and Dr. Modwell. I have not had the pleasure of meeting their associate yet. Cheryl has been my doctor for many years now and has helped me tremendously with my many unique health issues. I have seen Dr. Modwell on 2 occasions and found her to be thorough in her approach while being cautious in prescribing antiobiotics when not necessary. The are both easy to get an appointment with when needed quickly.

I can only say I am very satisfied about the attention I have received from Community Health Associates but, more specifically from Michelle Young. Not only has she taken the time to listen to my concerns but also went out of her way to follow up on an important referral during a very critical health issue I experienced. Se quickly put together the necessary paperwork for the specialist, sent it over and then followed up with phone calls to his office and to me until everything was set.
I am very grateful to her efforts and to the attention, patience and professionalism she has demonstrated every

Recently changed my primary physician to Dr. Friedman. I am very happy with my experience. He is kind and very thorough. He takes his time and I never feel rushed. I am comfortable asking as many questions as I have. He explains everything thoroughly. His support is efficient and thorough. I highly recommend him.
