Dr. Thrasher

Meet Barton B. Thrasher, MD


Since 2006, I have been practicing family medicine in both Oakland and Collierville, Tennessee. As a personal physician, I strive to offer personalized healthcare to my patients. Asking patients “How are you doing today?” takes time to answer. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more time to listen and discuss what matters to you. My goal is to provide more personalized care focused on you. I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I talk often about how nutrition, exercise and even sleep can be cornerstones to prevention as well as longevity! 
 
I know your time is valuable. Waiting for a physician and feeling rushed with the physician should not happen in a medical office. My practice is smaller than traditional primary care offices, allowing the flexibility for same-day/next-day visits and longer appointments, if needed. Phone calls are answered by a person, and, if something more urgent arises after hours, on weekends or holidays, you can contact me. In my office, we work to help make your visits relaxed and not rushed. We want and look forward to taking care of you! 
 
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I believe that the annual MDVIP Wellness Program has helped provide a new level of depth with which I can work with patients. The annual screenings and tests help us identify certain risk markers. The results can give us a clearer picture of your overall health, and, together, we can formulate an action plan that makes sense for you. This plan can help you be more engaged as you pursue the goal of living healthier longer.   
 
Additional benefits of my MDVIP-affiliated practice include care for dependent children (up to age 26), as well as same-day/next-day office visits for them for more urgent needs.  
 
My special interests include athletic lifestyles and how I believe nutrition, diet and good sleep habits contribute to longevity. Call us to schedule a meet-and-greet. I am excited to have more time, tools and focused energy directed toward helping you pursue improved health.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Barton B. Thrasher, MD

My MD/VIP is the best!

from Margaret in TN • February 14, 2024
I first met Dr. Barton Thrasher about ten years ago. I was serving as a health advocate for a very close friend and provided her transportation to her appointments at his office in another close by city. I was thoroughly impressed with the care that he provided to her. He made certain that she understood what he was saying to her and that she understood any procedures or tests that he ordered.

I have no way of putting it in words but I was very touched by the way Dr. Thrasher took at least and hour wanting to know about my past family history and how it might have effected my physical and mental health today. He listened intently as I tried to remember my family's health history and I did not feel like he was in a rush or rushing me.

Life altering care

from Kathleen in TN • July 28, 2023
It seems crazy but it's hard to find a doctor that takes obesity seriously and is willing to treat the condition. So many doctors in the past were quick to offer advice to decrease calories and increase activity, clearly displaying their lack of knowledge and basically saying eat fewer cheeseburgers. It was demoralizing. Dr Thrasher recognized the condition and was willing to take the time Read more...
