Meet James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

I believe the patient must come first. As a physician practicing in the 21st century, my goal is to provide the best possible care with compassion and dignity while never forgetting that the patient is a real person. I know this goal can best be achieved by personalized medical care for each of my patients. I want the best for my patients' health now and in the future.

Similar to concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. I also offer telemedicine appointments.

Call my office to schedule a complimentary meeting with me to learn more about my MDVIP-affiliated practice.

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.

Dr. Steiner is one of the kind, compassionate, caring doctors I have even seen. He truly cares about his patients and listens to them. When he talks to you he does it so you can understand. He does not talk at you. Thank you for being one of the good ones. His staff is also amazing and goes the extra mile to help.

Dr. Steiner has been our family doctor for over 20 years. He has dealt with many issues with our family and continues to do so. He is completely compassionate and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a doctor that will take the time to get to know you.

Dr. James Steiner has been a very important figure in my life as both my physician and as a friend. He has given me outstanding care with a personal touch that shows he truly cares about me as a person. I place great faith in his recommendations and have full confidence in the treatment he gives me. And when I have needed a recommendation as to a specialist such as for recent cataract surgery, his choices have been excellent.

Dr. Steiner does a fantastic job of utilizing the latest medical research and practices . . .and . . At the same time extends a very warm and courteous atmosphere . .I love that he has his little doggies around as he moves around his office area, makes it seem like home!!! Brandon and Suzette are the telephone and computer “gurus.” I appreciate the welcoming ambiance his office provides.

Like most seniors I have a number of medical issues including issues that I received in the military during the Vietnam era. Dr. Steiner always takes the time to talk to me to explain what’s going on and answers texts that I send them in the off hours, it’s the best way for me to receive medical care. When I go to see Dr. Steiner we discuss other matters then just medicine . We will talk about my military service, ball games, and what’s going on and also with my wife’s cancer. Even though she is not a member of MDVIP Dr Steiner helps me to understand.
This is absolutely the best way for me to receive medical care. I have a world of respect and I like Dr. Steiner and I actually enjoy seeing him when I go into his office. There’s no rush I can take my time and read my list of issues with him and he will take his time to make sure I understand.
He also has a wonderful, caring and respectful staff who are very knowledgeable. They also take care of my other medical needs such as when I ask them to refill a prescription or to set up an appointment for an x-ray or an MRI that it will done in a timely way.
Seeing Dr. Steiner and MDVIP has fulfilled all the desires I’ve had for many years for the delivery of medical care. As an aside my children also like Dr. Steiner when they call and have questions for him about me. He certainly goes the extra yard.

I have been a patient of Dr. Steiner's for more than seven years. He is a remarkable physician. While a skilled diagnostician, he also listens well to his patient, and provides clear and understandable answers to all my questions. There is never the sense that he is rushing you to attend the next patient. I am indeed fortunate to have Dr. Steiner as my primary care physician.

Dr Steiner and his staff is great! I have sent friends to join in this program. I have a few chronic health conditions and he helps in the management of them. I think when you get older, and have problems that need addressing fast, it’s imparitive to have a Dr that is available to see you. Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Steiner has been my primary care physician for several years, and I am very pleased with the care he provides. He is extremely well versed in how medications work, their side effects, and how they may interact with other Rx and OTC drugs. He genuinely cares about me and takes the time to answer all of my questions.

Testimonials from patients of James W. Steiner, MD, FAAFP

Phone calls to Montana

from Carol in AZ • March 10, 2024
There have been several times over the years when I needed to talk to Dr Steiner and he was in Montana, elk hunting. He received my calls and followed through with his office. That means a lot to me knowing that even if he is out of state, I can reach him or his office can reach him for assistance.

Saved my wife's life

from Frank in AZ • February 19, 2024
After many appointments and different diagnosis Dr. Stiener was the only one who correctly identified the problem; It was a besor, which lead to
the pancreatitis diagnosis.
My wife is doing well now with the proper treatment.
I don't think my wife would have survived without Dr. Stiener care, and continued support.
