Dr. Roland Zhang is a board-certified Family Medicine physician who provides comprehensive, evidence-based care for patients of all ages. Originally from upstate NY; he completed his residency training at Arnot Ogden Family Medicine in Elmira, NY.   He was recognized with the LECOM Resident Educator of the Year Award and served as Chief Resident of his Family Medicine Program. These honors reflect his commitment not only to clinical excellence, but also to teaching, mentoring, and advancing the practice of medicine.

In his practice, Dr. Zhang is guided by a simple philosophy: the best medical care combines solid scientific evidence in tandem with the individualized goals/values of each patient. He works collaboratively with patients to design individualized care plans that are both effective and sustainable, empowering them to take an active role in their health.

While comfortable treating patients across age/gender/medical history —from children to older adults — Dr. Zhang has a particular passion for men’s health. He has a strong interest in lifestyle medicine, exercise, weight management, and addressing conditions commonly faced by men. His goal is to help patients build long-term habits that improve not just their health metrics, but their overall quality of life.

Whether it’s preventive screenings, chronic disease management, or personalized guidance on fitness and nutrition, Dr. Zhang strives to be the doctor for ‘patients who hate going to the doctor’ and to create a supportive environment where you are heard, respected, and motivated.

Outside of medicine, you can find Dr. Zhang trialing new recipes on the Blackstone griddle, spreading Liberty in Helldivers 2, or trying to convince his patients to join him for fishing along the Delaware Bay.
