Dr. McNamara has given me his Cell Phone No. which is highly unusual for a doctor. He always calls me back promptly. I am highly thankful to him.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
With nearly 25 years of practicing medicine in the community, I have relationships with many specialists to help with you and your unique needs. I may be an internal medicine doctor, but I also have interests in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. I have gone from a physician that was trained to cure your illness and tackle your diseases to one who recognizes that true health comes from preventing disease from developing.

I’ve known and been a patient of Dr. McNamara since before he joined MDVIP. Glad I have had him as my doctor and hope to continue being his patient as long as possible.
I've been a patient of Dr. McNamara's for many years. I have some unusual and difficult medical issues, so high-quality medical care is essential to me.

Dr. Thomas McNamara is a very fine doctor and friend. I have been his patient for decades and could not be happier. I never expected to live this long and I owe my life to following his helpful advice.
I am 85 years old, and wish him a long healthy life as well!!
Elma and I have been with Dr. McNamara for a very long time. Luckily, we are healthy (we jokingly say to Dr. McNamara that we are his easiest patients) but what we like the most is how practical and logical he is and how he would love nothing more than to keep us off any medications.
Elma and I are avid travelers and we travel to many exotic places. So, multiple times we asked Dr.… See more

You are an amazing physician and a fine human being and I can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness and dedicated availability. I… See more
Dr. Mc - As you know so far so good with my health. But it is so reassuring to know you are their in my corner keeping an eye on things. Also appreciate all the important things you do - helping with advice whether about me or a family member. Thanks for all you do!
I have no singular spectacular event during the about 30 years that Dr. McNamara has been my physician, both in recent years with MDVIP and well before that, for which I so value him. Rather, he has consistently helped improve my lift in so many ways through his sage diagnostic skills and knowledgeable advise on good health habits and sticking to reasonable expectations for long term goals.… See more
