About John T. Shaw, MD

I have had the privilege of serving Nashville, TN, and the Middle Tennessee community for more than 30 years as an internal medicine physician. I aim to provide attentive, personalized primary care. Throughout my career, I feel honored when patients tell me I am caring, compassionate and committed to their well-being. Many families have trusted me with the care of three and even four generations. I am humbled by that trust and honored to care for patients whose parents and grandparents I had the privilege of caring for—often before they were born.

I received much of my education in Tennessee. I completed my internal medicine residency at UC Davis, a program that was ahead of its time in emphasizing holistic, patient-centered primary care long before it became a national focus.

On a personal level, I have been blessed with a 44-year marriage to my wonderful wife and the joy of raising three amazing children. My work-life balance is enriched by a passion for outdoor activities and a lifelong appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. I also enjoy live music and cheering on my beloved Tennessee Volunteers.
My affiliation with MDVIP allows me to combine my love for practicing medicine with more time to listen to each patient’s unique health story. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
Above all, I believe two of my most important clinical tools have always been my ears. I believe that nine times out of 10, if a doctor listens to patients, they will tell you what is wrong. As your personal physician, I am committed to helping you feel your needs and concerns are heard. Together, we can develop a personalized healthcare plan designed to support you as you pursue staying healthier, active and thriving throughout every stage of your 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.
