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

It is not "a" story, it's an on going story. Whenever I have a test, blood work for something, an mri or any non office medical data set, my doctor always, repeat, always calls me the day he recieves the data to discuss the ramifications with me, whether good, bad or indifferent. He understands that a patient's unease absent knowledge is stressful, whether warranted or not. So…

I am 82 years old and in pretty good health for my age. However, I had been feeling very tired and couldn't figure out why, so during one of my examinations I mentioned to my Dr and he sent me for a blood test. He called me with the results and said everything was ok except my iron was very high and asked if I had been taking any iron pills. I told him no, and he said he was going to send…

In 2022 I had a petscan to check for a few concens. The petscan showed unidentified spots in my right lung. My doctor Dr David Cunningham was very concerned, called me to explain and immediately found me a specialist, I had an appointment within a week. Fortunately the spots appear to be benign and I continue to see the specialist yearly. This is something I may not have followed up on without…

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.
