Meet W. James Pettit, MD


I believe each of us can achieve optimal health regardless of our stage in life or current medical condition.  As your personal doctor, I will partner with you to find your best path to wellness based on your individual circumstances and needs.  The essence of good medicine is a strong and trusting doctor-patient relationship.  This begins by taking the time to listen to all of your concerns and treating you compassionately as an individual, not simply as a number or a diagnosis.

I emphasize preventive medicine and early detection, as most conditions can be successfully managed if caught early.  I look for non-pharmocologic  treatment (i.e., lifestyle modifications) where possible, reserving prescription medication for when necessary.  For acute illness, I am committed to seeing you with a same-day or next-day appointment.

As a primary care physician and family doctor, I enjoy seeing patients of all ages and backgrounds.  I have particular interest in cardiovascular health, diabetes, asthma and allergies.  I also see patients at a senior living community where I attend to the unique medical and social challenges that arise as we age.  I serve Northern Virginia and the greater Washington metro area.  I look forward to providing you with the medical care you need for optimal 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.
