About Phay Chothmounethinh, MD
As an Ascension Saint Thomas family medicine doctor in Franklin, TN, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. At the heart of my practice is a belief that individualized care happens when we approach the whole person—not just symptoms or lab results. As an MDVIP affiliate, I have time to listen to each patient’s story, including the physical, emotional, nutritional and lifestyle factors that influence their health. My healing-oriented approach allows me to build stronger, ongoing relationships with my patients and to provide personalized, evidence-based care that can help support them as they pursue long-term wellness.
My particular interests include cardiovascular disease and metabolic health—areas where I believe small, consistent changes made by a patient can lead to powerful improvements in quality of life. I believe that health is not just the absence of disease, but the presence of energy, clarity and resilience. That’s why I place a strong emphasis on prevention and lifestyle medicine while still grounding recommendations in clinical evidence. I have a passion for life-long learning and staying up to date on therapies.
I am passionate about practicing the principles I recommend. Whether it’s nutrition, movement, stress management or healthier sleep habits, I get to learn daily what works and what’s challenging to help give you practical recommendations that can be applied in daily life.
I see my role as a partner in your care—someone who provides you with evidence-based information and one-on-one discussion so you can make informed decisions that align with your needs, values and goals. Together, we can create a personalized plan that supports your pursuit of improved health in the ways that matter most to you. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.
I am affiliated with Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown. My relationships with specialists help me advocate for your care. My practice serves Brentwood, Franklin and the greater Nashville area. I also speak Laotian.

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.
