About Michael T. Beckham, MD, FACP

My goal as your physician is to promote health practices that are more tailored to your individual needs. I have spent 29 years as an internal medicine physician and have learned what I believe to be the most important aspects of an ideal patient-physician partnership: Applying the latest science-based medical knowledge and treatments, taking your symptoms and problems seriously, and listening to your concerns. I am dedicated to partnering with you to help you better achieve your personal health goals, whether that involves improved nutrition, losing weight, boosting your fitness, working to minimize your medications or helping to prevent disease.

I am board certified in internal medicine and try to practice what I preach through frequent exercise. I particularly love mountain biking, hiking and swimming. I also support my patients’ psychological and spiritual health, promoting practices such as yoga, counseling and meditation, and employing pharmacological therapy as needed.

I practice at TriStar Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, TN and serve patients from all over Middle Tennessee. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Typically, appointments start on time, and I can see you the same day or next business day. I look forward to developing deeper, personalized relationships with my patients.

I first met Dr Michael Beckham when he starting sharing a practice that I was working in as the only nurse. I was his 1st nurse until he hired a full time person..
I can truly say I have seen him grow from a young physician to one of the most caring and compassionate physicians you will ever find. I have been his pt approx. 20 years and I am so proud to be part of his MDVIP practice.

The office is very inviting the wait time is remarkable because there is no wait time. The staff is professional and friendly and if you have a question about something calling the office and speaking to the nurse is very kind and professional, unlike some offices that I have been to my physician, listens to all my concerns and answers all my questions and then answer some questions that I don’t even ask in a very professional matter, and I feel very comfortable, knowing that my health is in my doctor and And the staff’s hands.

Dr. Beckham is a very nice man and a very good doctor. However, I do not recommend asking his office manger any questions if you’re confused about something. I was confused this morning and had a question and his office manager quite literally laughed at me and my confusion. It was the single most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had with a doctor’s office.

Front desk is friendly and personal, Dr. Beckham is on time, well educated in his field with helpful suggestions for me when needed, spends as much time as necessary, responds to any after hours' call, and the office decor is tastefully furnished. I've been a patient of Dr. Beckham's for years and consider him a friend as well as my physician.

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.
