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

Dr. Hochwalt has been my physician for over 20 years. When he joined MDVIP, I came with him to the program. I did that because he has a high "EQ" and really understands that sometimes, I need confirmation that nothing is wrong. I really appreciate that about him - and in one big instance, it made a big difference in a diagnosis for me. Now, I live overseas but I continue my…

Dr. James Hochwalt has been my Primary Care Physician for many years, even before he was with MDVIP. He has walked with me through many of experiences that one has on life's journey. He cared for my late husband as well as being a support for me at this difficult time. He made the transition to MDVIP and I decided to follow him in his transition. My new life has had many challenges too…

I have been a patient of Dr. Hochwalt for 30 years. He has taken great care of me through some difficult medical problems. As part of my annual physical in 2017 Dr. Hochwalt thoroughly felt around my neck to determine if there was anything suspicious. In fact he discovered a lump too deep for me to ever notice. It was ultimately determined to be cancerous and five weeks later I had cancerous…

Whenever something odd happens, like a sudden fall while dog walking last December, Dr. Hochwalt is there for me through a simple phone call. The fall happened while his office was particularly overwhelmed and he still offered straightforward advice, found a medical facility and orthopedic doctor close to where I'm now living (which is an area that isn't familiar to him). I've…

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.
