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
Thanks for the care and concern you have had for my health. Nearing 83, I am astounded that I am in as good health as I am, especially when I read or hear of others much younger who have such serious health problems. I'm sure my Mother's and Father's genes have helped, but without your concern and help I'd do little to help myself. So, thanks for all your…
For over 25 years you have given me outstanding medical care and advice. You have kept me healthy into my 81st year, and I am very grateful. Your medical skill, knowledge and competence have made my life enjoyable and satisfying. I am honored to have this opportunity, on National Doctor's Day, to say THANK YOU. I say this, not only for myself, but also for my wife and…
and all that you know. Thank you for always being there for us. Jim and Joan C.
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.
