About Timothy K. McNichols, MD
The practice of internal medicine has always appealed to me because I enjoy the relationships that develop and grow with my patients over the years we spend together. My prior service in hospital medicine was intellectually stimulating for me, but I found it lacked the opportunities to grow those long-term relationships. That’s why I affiliated with MDVIP, which allows me to more time to expand those relationships.
My aim is to support your personalized care and health goals, help you address any current problems and guide your pursuit of preventing possible future problems. The MDVIP model focuses on wellness and prevention, and my smaller practice size allows me to be there for you for more urgent problems or concerns.
I have practiced in Tucson for many years, and I have relationships with many specialists in the community to whom I can refer you, if the need arises. I also have more time to speak with them and advocate for your care.
I am proud to provide my patients with individualized care and more resources to support their prevention and wellness efforts.

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.
