Meet Timothy Ashley, MD, FAAFP


If you are a current patient and would like to join my new MDVIP-affiliated practice, please click the orange “Join Now” button below. If you are not a current patient but would like to join, please call 256.369.3439.

It has been the professional honor and privilege of my life to be involved in my patients’ healthcare. They have trusted me to help them make decisions in life that would help them as they pursue their health goals. These goals are not purely physical, but they can be psychological and spiritual, and by definition, involve our families and loved ones. Of course, I believe the bottom line to any relationship is trust, and my patients have humbled me by trusting in me. We each have many voices in our lives, and I want you to know that I appreciate when a patient allows me to be one of those voices.
 
My philosophy of medicine has been about finding a course for each of my patients, realizing that each one is unique, and what might work for some may not work for others. I believe that our bodies are our temples and we are purposed with maintaining and improving that temple the best we can. And just like the wise man who knows what to do and does it, each of us has the option to do our best to take care of that temple. In the meantime, I believe that today is the only day we have and we would like to be as functional as possible today.
 
I have returned to the model of healthcare I practiced in earlier days, which allows spending more time with each patient and making relationships stronger. The MDVIP model involves processes that help us look down the road and find those unique factors in each of our lives that we can work on to help us feel good today, to be functional today and hopefully help patients as they work to extend their health tomorrow. 

I believe healthcare today does not cover the time investment involved in reviewing the unique nature of each individual. Being an MDVIP affiliate allows me to spend more time together discussing and looking into your healthcare. Instead of hurried, minutes-long visits, this model allows me to offer hour-long visits so we can discuss implementing preventive lifestyle changes. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I’d like to invite you to join me in this approach to health care that actually goes back to the way I started in family medicine. My desire then as now is to build trusting relationships with each unique individual as we invest in the God-given blessing of life.

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.

Dr. Ty is fantastic with our girls. Just bc you come in doesn’t mean you leave w an unnecessary script. He takes his time and treats them as if they were his own. This has been the only dr our children actually ask if they get to go see. Makes our job as parents easier when they aren’t scared of the dr.

Dr. Ty Ashley and his nurse Tina are the absolute best! I've been seeing him for years now and he is very attentive and goes above and beyond. I was sick recently and wasn't sure what was going on his quick thinking prompted him to have me get blood work. It came back very abnormal and they quickly got me referred to an oncologist. I was diagnosed with CML Leukemia with no symptoms. It was caught early so my treatment and prognosis are great. They literally helped save my life. I can't thank them enough. I see some complaining about the wait time. I would much rather have a longer wait knowing that I will be receiving excellent care vs someone who rushes and doesn't take the time to listen and properly diagnosis and give proper treatment!
Blessings, Dr. Kimberly Jackson

My family and I have been going to Dr Ty Ashley for several years, and I've never had a negative experience. I appreciate that Dr Ashley and his staff take the time to ask questions, be thorough, and explain alternatives for treatment. The couple of times that I've needed to be seen fairly soon, they have been able to accommodate me.

I’ve been taken care of for years by Dr Ashley. If you are in need for some health issues, this is the place you need to come. Dr Ashley will take time n makes sure you are healthy again. Of coz taking time may slow down on the others a little bit but it all worths it at the end. Love them all 😘

All I wanted done was bloodwork, and after two visits, no bloodwork. A copay to just wait in the lobby and exam room for 20 minutes.

Dr. Ty and his staff are very busy giving their all to the patients that see him. I have never really cared for or trusted doctors until I met Dr. Ty and his staff years ago. Both he and his nurse Tina have the best bedside manner and truly listen to your ailments. They take the time to research and treat every individual as if they were taking care of a family member. I truly respect Dr. Ty and nurse Tina for the above and beyond approach they take every day.Thank you both.
