What Members Are Saying

I really like how my doctor takes his time and go over each test line results. With me, I definitely will continue this service.

David

Patient of Thomas C. Darrell, MD

We moved from Charlotte NC to Fuquay- Varina in June of 1994. My health was not good and I was taking several medications for joint and muscle pain. Dr. Thomas Darrell took me off all non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and encouraged healthy lifestyle changes. All his suggestions have been beneficial to me and I am grateful for all his medical care these years. He listens with understanding. I feel he has guided me through 30 years of ageing by referring me to the appropriate specialist as the need came up. I have been active in exercise programs, weight loss programs and have retired twice. I was caregiver in our home for my mother for 6 years and my husband for 4 years. I am thankful I was able to cared for them through their strokes and dementia. Dr. Darrell is caring and a credit to his profession.

Patient of Thomas C. Darrell, MD

Dr. Thomas Darrell has always listened to me and given great advice and guidance, even when I failed to follow it. He advised me to see a cardiologist when he detected an abnormal sound in my heart beat. I eventually had to have an aortic valve replacement. He listened to me express my anxiety and offered to help me get counseling. I was not comfortable with that and asked for some medication for mild anxiety. He prescribed Sertraline, which was a great help. He always asked about my physical and mental health. His care and compassion have been his way of life as clearly evidenced by the photos of his many trips abroad to serve underprivileged and neglected people. He has been a great doctor for me. May God bless Dr. Darrell as he has been a blessing to others.

Meet Thomas C. Darrell, MD

As a personal physician, I want to help my patients do all they can to live healthier, primarily through weight management, proper exercise and excellent nutrition. If you are dealing with a particular medical condition(s), we can use these same tools to help you better manage your condition(s) or to even try to reverse or slow any unwanted disease process. In our current medical care environment, there rarely is enough time to discuss these helpful topics. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician I have the time to address important elements of your health. I prefer to use as few medications as possible and together, we can work toward these goals. I strive to get to know my patients well, and I believe the MDVIP practice model can enhance my ability to know you better and help you more!

I was a cofounder of Fuquay-Varina Family Practice 34 years ago and have been a board-certified family physician since that time. My years in practice have allowed me to develop strong relationships with many of the excellent sub-specialists in the Triangle area, and I never hesitate to recommend a referral for something that may go beyond your primary care needs. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go beyond those of traditional primary care practices, along with conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments and the ability to contact me during and after hours.

Our practice serves many communities in southern Wake County, including Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs, as well as the greater Angier community in northern Harnett County. I am an instructor for the UNC School of Medicine and enjoy teaching first- and second-year medical students. On a more personal note, my faith plays a huge part of who I am, and I have enjoyed taking part in numerous medical mission trips over the years, including to El Salvador, Africa and India. I would love to have you join my new 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.

My Experience with Dr. Darrell

from Eddie in NC • March 11, 2023

I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas C. Darrell for approximately 10 years. When I learned that he would be transitioning his practice to the MDVIP model, I had no idea of what to expect. However, when he explained his personal goals for providing care to his patients, and outlined the MDVIP model of practice, I was impressed enough to decide to join his MDVIP practice. Now that I have completed Read more...
