Elizabeth Cilenti, MD, MPH

Providing Comprehensive Pediatric and Adolescent Care

Dr. Elizabeth Cilenti is board-certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics and believes that a strong relationship between patients and their primary care physician is essential to good health.

Combining Pediatric and Internal Medicine

“While most primary care physicians will complete a three-year program in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics, I couldn’t decide on just one – so I pursued a dual training program!”

As a primary care physician who specializes in both pediatrics and internal medicine, Dr. Cilenti prioritizes the whole health of her patients – from childhood through adulthood. Dr. Cilenti can provide full spectrum pediatric care – from newborns through teenagers, while also providing internal medicine care to parents (and grandparents too!)

The benefits a dual board-certified physician in a concierge pediatrics environment provide to the patient experience include:

Continuity of care from infancy to adolescence to adulthood, forging long-lasting doctor-patient relationships built on trust
A broad understanding of both adult and pediatric medicine, enabling smooth transitions from pediatric to adult care
Efficient management for chronic conditions that often extend from childhood to adulthood
Expertise in both pediatrics and internal medicine means she can provide care for the whole family
Focus on preventative care

Concierge Pediatrics from Northern VA’s Top Pediatrician

Most children’s doctors have extremely tight schedules and very little time to spend with individual patients. With the concierge model, when your child visits with your doctor, you know they will have both eyes on your child—not one eye on the clock.

Dr. Cilenti provides pediatric care via NVFP’s concierge service model. Concierge medicine, also known as membership medicine, is a model in which patients pay a monthly or annual membership fee to receive personalized medical care from a dedicated provider rather than the traditional model of care.

Working with NVFP and Dr. Cilenti for your child’s healthcare needs is simple. Call Dr. Cilenti’s Care Team today to schedule an meet-and-greet, then sign up to join NVFP. From there, we’ll set up an appointment to discuss your child’s medical history and develop a plan for continuing pediatric healthcare.
