About David F. Cunningham, MD

As a primary care physician, I am committed to helping you and all of my patients live fuller, happier and healthier lives. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I make sure every patient receives all of the time and one-on-one attention required for me to respond to his or her unique health needs. Practicing good medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient. I enjoy coaching patients through health issues and concerns so they fully understand their health and my proposed treatment plans. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. No matter what life stage or general health condition you find yourself in, we will work together to formulate a personalized wellness plan that puts you in charge of your health and maximizes quality of life through every chapter of your life.

What our members are saying

Dr David is a wonderful physician! He has a great bedside manner and is very caring to his patients. I will never forget when he called to tell me my PSA level was elevated. He made a appointment for me with a great neurologist who discovered that I had prostate cancer. I had my prostate removed and I have been cancer free for 3 years. If it were not for Dr. Cunningham, I may not be writing you…

I began seeing Dr. David Cunningham after years seeing a succession of other doctors for a serious lung complaint that had never been properly diagnosed. Dr. Cunningham immediately found a specialist at a major hospital who had tests done, arrived at a correct diagnosis, and prescribed treatment that has restored my health.

Back in 2016 I needed surgery on my lower back. As my PCP Dr. Cunningham asked me to come see him and recommended the neurosurgeon that he felt was the most skilled in this type of procedure. In addition he helped expedite the whole process so that I was able to get my surgery as soon as possible and therefore alleviate my suffering quicker. During my encounter with the neurosurgeon and…

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.
