Dr. Tifft

Meet Charles P. Tifft, MD, FAHA

Internal medicine has evolved into a complex specialty combined with other care known as primary care. It requires more than a time-pressured visit with a “provider.” My goal is to manage your medical needs by using my 37 years of teaching and patient care at my academic medical center, Boston Medical Center, to better help you improve your health. 

My experience allows me to partner with my patients to provide a personalized and academic approach. My prior research and teaching history has focused on hypertension, cardiovascular health and prevention. As a private doctor, I have the time that is needed to help each of my patients be well and stay well. Imagine a practice where you come first - my passion is to make that a reality. The individualized attention offered in my office is helping my patients take charge of their health and achieve their goals. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.  

I am affiliated with Boston Medical Center Hospital. Although most of my primary care patients reside in greater Boston, I see patients from all over New England.

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.
