About Chris Ingraham, DO
According to an old adage, “Patients don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
No matter how skilled a healthcare professional may be, I find that a patient’s perception of care often hinges on the depth of the doctor-patient relationship. In medicine, I enjoy nothing more than building patient partnerships that foster trust and support their efforts toward more positive health outcomes. As an Ascension Saint Thomas family physician in Murfreesboro, TN, I provide personalized primary care that focuses on the whole person.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. In addition, I offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have more time to listen to each patient’s history, including the physical, emotional, nutritional and lifestyle factors that can influence their health.
I’ve been practicing primary care medicine in Murfreesboro for almost 20 years. I look forward to providing evidence-based care and sharing my interest in preventative medicine for years to come. My close association with Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford helps offer a more individualized patient experience.

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.
