Meet Timothy Ashley, MD, FAAFP
It has been the professional honor and privilege of my life to be involved in my patients’ healthcare. They have trusted me to help them make decisions in life that would help them as they pursue their health goals. These goals are not purely physical, but they can be psychological and spiritual, and by definition, involve our families and loved ones. Of course, I believe the bottom line to any relationship is trust, and my patients have humbled me by trusting in me. We each have many voices in our lives, and I want you to know that I appreciate when a patient allows me to be one of those voices.
My philosophy of medicine has been about finding a course for each of my patients, realizing that each one is unique, and what might work for some may not work for others. I believe that our bodies are our temples and we are purposed with maintaining and improving that temple the best we can. And just like the wise man who knows what to do and does it, each of us has the option to do our best to take care of that temple. In the meantime, I believe that today is the only day we have and we would like to be as functional as possible today.
I have returned to the model of healthcare I practiced in earlier days, which allows spending more time with each patient and making relationships stronger. The MDVIP model involves processes that help us look down the road and find those unique factors in each of our lives that we can work on to help us feel good today, to be functional today and hopefully help patients as they work to extend their health tomorrow.
I believe healthcare today does not cover the time investment involved in reviewing the unique nature of each individual. Being an MDVIP affiliate allows me to spend more time together discussing and looking into your healthcare. Instead of hurried, minutes-long visits, this model allows me to offer hour-long visits so we can discuss implementing preventive lifestyle changes. 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’d like to invite you to join me in this approach to health care that actually goes back to the way I started in family medicine. My desire then as now is to build trusting relationships with each unique individual as we invest in the God-given blessing of life.

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.
