About James M. Hochwalt, MD

My philosophy in regard to the practice of medicine is centered around developing a collaborative, trusting relationship with all of my patients. This is essential to insure the proper diagnosis and implementation of a treatment plan that is most likely to result in wellness. I believe in the power of preventive care and the early detection of disease. Positive, healthy habits and accountability by both physician and patient are powerful predictors of good outcomes.

Dr. Jim is probably the most qualified, comprehensive and compassionate physician I have ever known. He actively listens to you. He is aware that I am a “woman of a certain age”, 76, and knows that I have certain medical specialists beyond his area of his expertise. Nonetheless, I have always consulted Dr Jim about these issues and he has been up front and honest in his answers. Sometimes I have…

Dr. Hochwalt was key to getting me the help I needed for Rheumatoid Arthritis, even though the disease never showed up on blood tests. I was having serious trouble walking, sitting, sleeping and using stairs and he suspected my issue and was able to quickly get me in to see a rheumatologist that he trusted. I am now back to my normal active self and enjoying life. Dr. Hochwalt does a great job of…

It was about 3 days after my surgery to remove kidney stones, when I found myself in terrible pain. it was a Saturday morning and my wife drove me to the ER. They found out I had a kidney infection. The ER personnel was great, but the group that did my surgery was not (the surgeon was from my old neighborhood and that is why I choose that group). I was left in the ER for more than 8 hours as…

I have received care from my primary care physician for over 35 years. I have always received the best care and because of that, when he made the transition form a large practice to MDVIP I made the choice to follow his move to a new medical program. Because of our lengthy medical relationship he knows my medical history and health. He always takes special care to address my health needs. I…

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.
