What Members Are Saying

I feel that Dr. Boyed sets himself apart from other primary care docs I have seen in the past. He makes me feel that he really cares about being an integral part of my overall health. He helped put me on track to the point where I must say I feel great to be alive every day, despite my ongoing health issues. I put my trust in him, value his expertise, and truly enjoy listening to his detailed comments on my labs, and other test results. The time he spends with me is truly appreciated. He's courteous, but yet tells it like it is! My kind of guy! Thank you Dr. Boyed!!

Janice

Patient of James R. Boyed, MD, FAAFP

Dr. Boyed is by far the best physician I have ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing for my health issues. I feel better than I have in years. He is so patient in explaining what is going on and the repercussions of not doing the prescribed treatment he gives. His knowledge of medicine is so thorough when he is explaining a treatment you actually learn something and you do not leave his office thinking "what the devil did he say ". Doctors who get that result eventually lose their patient because the patient just gives up and believes he does not really care. Perhaps Those doctors need to follow Dr. Boyed's way of dealing with his patients. The office is very clean, well managed and the office staff and medical practitioners are beyond the best in the field. I will be his patient until either he retires or I go to the everafter. Dr. Boyed is my hero!!!

Carol

Patient of James R. Boyed, MD, FAAFP

First I will say that Dr Boyed has taken the time to get to know who we are. Because of that familiarity we laugh together and He correctly identifies when we are struggling with a medical issue because of our general personalities. He helps overcome every obstacle because he listens, carefully and correctly evaluates and supplies direction. Robert is nearing 83 and Linda (I) am nearing 74 each of us have had difficulties coping with some of the loss of ability due to the natural aging process. He is a constant and patient voice of encouragement. Everywhere I go I speak of his kindness and his medical wisdom. We cannot say enough about Dr. Boyed by way of recommendations. BUT THE QUALITY HEALTH CARE DOES NOT END WITH DR. BOYED. Dr.'s wife, along with the rest of his staff including the most efficient and kind Shirley who heads the office staff make coming into the office a sincere pleasure. In a word of anonymity, Dr. James Boyed and his staff make everyone who walks in the door feel comfortable and personally cared for. Thank you so much!

Meet James R. Boyed, MD, FAAFP

I am a native of Tucson, born and raised so I love this state and the Arizona desert! My goal as your doctor is to provide a personalized healthcare plan with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. It is my conviction that practicing good medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient. It is this institution of the doctor-patient relationship which gives perspective and insight to great healthcare.

The one size fits all approach to the traditional practice of medicine does not account for your uniqueness, genetics, environmental exposures, stressors and life-style choices.

In my MDVIP-affiliated practice you will be treated with the most up-to-date, evidence-based medicine combining traditional, functional medicine and nutrition. This model integrates best medical practices; offering you the personalized, compassionate healthcare that you deserve. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will work with you to impart a positive vitality and hopefully beyond the absence of disease.

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.

We're a family of three who see Dr. James Boyd in the MDVIP program. He is the second doctor we have had in the MDVIP program since we moved from California to Arizona in October 2022, and we are so glad we found him.
