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.

What our members are saying

I believe Dr. James Hochwalt became my internist his first year of practice; some 26 years ago. I've followed Jim to another Internist Group and then to MDVIP. I have a great relationship with Jim and value the time he can spend with me because of the MDVIP practice. Most importantly I trust his judgment regarding my health.

It has been a blessing to have Jim as my physician even before MDVIP. My husband (who is now deceased) and I were so pleased with the care and personal attention we have received during the years. I really depend on his guidance with my health, although I probably cause him a bit of frustration with my numbers!!. Also, the office staff could not be my friendly and helpful. Thank you all for…

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.
