About Francis J. Caprio, MD

Primary care internal medicine has been my passion for over 25 years. I welcome you to my MDVIP-affiliated practice, where my goal is to collaborate with each patient to develop a unique, personalized wellness plan. Together we can be proactive to keep you healthy, as well as help you make the right decisions to achieve your goals with your specific needs in mind. 

The MDVIP personalized wellness model allows us to spend more time at each patient visit, so you have time to explain your concerns and we can develop a more comprehensive plan of care together. You can schedule appointments quickly and easily whenever a problem arises. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

I have practiced all aspects of internal medicine in Williamson County since 1997 and my special interests are in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol problems. I recognize the complexity of our current healthcare system and strive to coordinate your care with specialists and hospitals in middle Tennessee. My goal is to provide an optimal level of care so all my patients can lead happier and healthier lives.

Dr Caprio is always caring and available when called upon. He is not only a superb doctor but he quickly becomes your friend and part of the family. He is patient and listens and responds with encouraging words and advice. I am proud to be under his professional care and feel fortunate he is our primary care physician.

You have been our doctor for close to 20 years now and we have been very pleased to call you our doctor. You return our calls in timely manner. When needed you make the time for office visits. You are very caring and compassionate. You take the time to listen to our concerns and offer solutions and advice. You remember our past medical history and interested in our family as well. And I am sad…

I have been a patient of Dr. Caprio for more years than I can remember, ( I think I am into decade number two) and he's the reason I chose to go with MDVIP. I don't think I would have made this investment if it had been any other doctor. He is simply the best. He gets to know the person, not just the patient. He is very supportive of all my needs. He never makes me feels rushed 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.
