Phay Chothmounethinh, MD

As an Ascension Saint Thomas family medicine doctor in Franklin, TN, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. At the heart of my practice is a belief that individualized care happens when we approach the whole person—not just symptoms or lab results. As an MDVIP affiliate, I have time to listen to each patient’s story, including the physical, emotional, nutritional and lifestyle factors that influence their health. My healing-oriented approach allows me to build stronger, ongoing relationships with my patients and to provide personalized, evidence-based care that can help support them as they pursue long-term wellness.

My particular interests include cardiovascular disease and metabolic health—areas where I believe small, consistent changes made by a patient can lead to powerful improvements in quality of life. I believe that health is not just the absence of disease, but the presence of energy, clarity and resilience. That’s why I place a strong emphasis on prevention and lifestyle medicine while still grounding recommendations in clinical evidence. I have a passion for life-long learning and staying up to date on therapies.

I am passionate about practicing the principles I recommend. Whether it’s nutrition, movement, stress management or healthier sleep habits, I get to learn daily what works and what’s challenging to help give you practical recommendations that can be applied in daily life.

I see my role as a partner in your care—someone who provides you with evidence-based information and one-on-one discussion so you can make informed decisions that align with your needs, values and goals. Together, we can create a personalized plan that supports your pursuit of improved health in the ways that matter most to you. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

I am affiliated with Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown. My relationships with specialists help me advocate for your care. My practice serves Brentwood, Franklin and the greater Nashville area. I also speak Laotian.
