Meet Daniel R. Blizzard, DO, FAAFP


As a family practice physician, my goal is to provide you with healthcare that focuses proactively on prevention and wellness. As an MDVIP-affiliate, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients and to review your health records in order to develop a personalized plan for your healthcare needs. 

I am board certified, a former US Air Force physician and have more than 30 years of experience. I have great interest in diabetes, cardiovascular health and geriatric health. I believe in osteopathic philosophy, whole person-body, mind and spirit approach to health care. My clinic also provides weight loss programs, allergy testing and immuno-therapy.

Change is significantly affecting the healthcare landscape with ongoing implications for doctors and patients. It’s nearly impossible to navigate such a complex system alone, but with me as your ally, we can get through it together and keep you on the path to optimal health.

The best healthcare starts with a physician partner who truly knows you, your needs and your goals. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you come first. Third parties and red tape will not interfere with my ability to care for you the way you deserve.

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 Daniel R. Blizzard, DO, FAAFP

Always there.

from Rodney in NC • March 10, 2024
The great thing about Dr. B is that he's always there when we need him even if not in the office. He always answers texts promptly. We are grateful for that.

A Good Retirement Investment

from Richard and Muriel in NC • March 13, 2020
Dr. Blizzard was our physician for several years before he joined MDVIP. Despite the cost of more than $1,600 annually for each of us to continue to receive his services, we immediately enrolled. Our friends wait 2-3 weeks to see a lottery-pick physician in a local clinic and we wait less than 24 hours to see Dr. Blizzard. We get a quarterly exam, with blood work, that compares to what our Read more...

Great Doctor and Staff

Old School

from Donald in NC • March 11, 2020
A little over a year ago, I was going over lab results with Dr. Blizzard and he reported that my PSA was 2. Ok in most cases but he wanted to do a digital, rectal exam of my prostate. Dr. Blizzard told me that my prostate was enlarged and he detected multiple nodules on the gland. He immediately referred me to a urologist, highly skilled in robotic surgery. After the biopsy of my prostate, the Read more...

Dr. Blizzard has been a blessing for us

from Robin • November 24, 2018
My father joined MDVIP about a year ago. Dr. Blizzard has been a blessing for us, his daughters, who are trying to care for our aging father. He has welcomed us to his office many times and patiently explained a concept to Daddy and listened to Daddy's concerns. He listens to our concerns as caregivers. Trina is an excellent nurse, and is always happy to see us.
