What Members Are Saying

There have been several times over the years when I needed to talk to Dr Steiner and he was in Montana, elk hunting. He received my calls and followed through with his office. That means a lot to me knowing that even if he is out of state, I can reach him or his office can reach him for assistance.

Carol

Patient of James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

After many appointments and different diagnosis Dr. Stiener was the only one who correctly identified the problem; It was a besor, which lead to the pancreatitis diagnosis. My wife is doing well now with the proper treatment. I don't think my wife would have survived without Dr. Stiener care, and continued support.

Frank

Patient of James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

Dr James Steiner of the Hayden Family Medical Center has been my wife's and my doctor for over 30 years. During that extended period of time, he has always been there to help with any of our medical conditions that arise. His prognosis of a medical problem is always spot on allowing our healing to speedily take place and putting us back into a healthy condition. As we age, we are even more prone to aches and pains; and. he helps us cope with them medically, physically, and mentally. He is a giving person who makes his patients feel cared for and safe and who enjoys a good joke now and then. He is always ready to help. Recently, my wife whose theory has always been "to eat the pain" with her Rheumatoid Arthritis had a flare up that overcame her theory and made her face reality, but only very late in the day and close to the doctor's office closing. No problem, Dr. Steiner told us to come even though he probably already had experienced a very long day. He saw us, analyzed the situation, and gave my wife medicine that soon had her on the mend. I don't know of many doctors who would take the time after a long day to see one more patient. We are very thankful for Dr. Steiner's professionalism, integrity, and expertise. He is a doctor who stands tall in our opinion.

Meet James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

I believe the patient must come first. As a physician practicing in the 21st century, my goal is to provide the best possible care with compassion and dignity while never forgetting that the patient is a real person. I know this goal can best be achieved by personalized medical care for each of my patients. I want the best for my patients' health now and in the future.

Similar to concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. I also offer telemedicine appointments.

Call my office to schedule a complimentary meeting with me to learn more about my MDVIP-affiliated practice.

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 James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

A GEM OF A DOCTOR

from Lewis in AZ • March 13, 2020

I first became a participant in MDVIP under the late Dr. Stephen Ritchie. When he passed away in 2011, Dr. James Steiner took over the practice. In the nine years that Dr. Steiner has been my physician he has kept me as healthy as is possible for a senior with several minor to moderate medical issues. We have also come to know one another on a social level and I enjoy the company of Dr. Steiner, Read more...

Dr. Steiner

from Robert in AZ • March 13, 2020

He is always there for us. He is always right. We do trust him.

Doctor to Doctor

from Roy in CA • February 28, 2020

I live in California. James Steiner, who is in Scottsdale AZ has been my MDVIP MD for about 8 years. I am a retired radiologist and a little picky when it comes to my preventative health care. I get better attention from James and Noura PA, ( between yearly physicals, calls for issues, prescription service), than all of my friends in Santa Barbara! I get a response and solution within hours while Read more...

Rush to the hospital

from Rondi in AZ • February 28, 2020

Dr. Steiner quickly diagnosed my wife's condition and sent us to the hospital asap. She shortly had a pacemaker installed and it corrected her problem. This quick diagnosis probably saved her life!

I have been a patient within the MDVIP network since my late physician first came into the program.

from Lewis in AZ • February 6, 2014

I have been a patient within the MDVIP network since my late physician first came into the program. Since his passing in 2011, Dr. James Steiner has been my physician. The care he provides is excellent. He is very thorough and in the proverbial sense, leaves no stone unturned. He listens carefully to any symptoms or complaints and then addresses them in a highly professional manner. In May 2011, Read more...
