Meet Ali Thaver, MD, MSc
This patient-centered philosophy is inspired by the founding father of modern medicine, Dr. William Osler, who said, "It is much more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has."
I endeavor to strengthen and enhance the doctor-patient relationship with my patients. Through my research and clinical experience, I have observed that when this relationship is helped to flourish, healthcare decisions can become easier to discuss, and patients can feel empowered to lead healthier, more meaningful lives. That is my goal for you.
It is my aim for your personalized care to encompass various aspects of internal medicine, which I broadly categorize into three principles: prevent, promote and care.
Preventive health can include vaccinations, age-appropriate screenings and health risk assessments. Promotive health can involve addressing chronic medical conditions with the aim of supporting your journey toward an improved quality of life. Finally, care provision can include comforting you in times of illness and being mindful of your specific needs as we partner to make shared decisions.
My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice is in Alexandria, Virginia, and offers same-day or next-day appointments. I look forward to learning about your life and your healthcare needs.

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.
