About Timothy Fignar, MD, FAAFP

My goal as your family physician is to provide you with personalized care and prevent long-term health problems. Whether your goal is to improve your eating or exercise habits, prevent diabetes or heart disease based on enhanced testing, learn new strategies to improve your quality of life or just maintain your current health status - we can do more together.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments, longer face-to-face visits and the ability to contact me after hours.  I am a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine.   

We focus on personalized, preventive strategies; I have undergone extra training to help make these benefits go even further.    

  • I can help you focus on healthy nutrition, physical activity, supplements, prescriptions and behavioral health strategies to foster a healthier lifestyle, reduce health risks, cut personal healthcare costs and reduce or eliminate other chronic medications.
  • I am trained in the Bale-Doneen Method which helps reduce risks for heart disease, stroke and dementia, just to name a few.  In addition to the tests included in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, we offer a specialized carotid ultrasound (CIMT), oral pathogen testing, home sleep studies, gut microbiome evaluation, lipoproteins and cardio-genetics.
I am also excited to offer two optional advanced cancer screening tests outside of the MDVIP Wellness Program services. Please call the office to see if these additional tests are right for you and their costs.
  • A preventative genetic screening for conditions like certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders.
  • A multi-cancer detection blood test that can screen for up to 50 additional cancers.
In April 2025, I relocated to Southwest Florida after 21+ years in North Central Connecticut where I was voted the North Central News’ Top Doctor every year from 2014-2024

Dr Fignar always responds to my needs whether it be the need for an appointment, answer to a question or some simple advice.

Dr Fignar has provided me with many opportunities to manage my health that my previous primary care Dr did not mention. He always takes the time to review my physical and findings thoroughly and provides me with additional opportunities to manage my blood pressure with fish body oils and even types of mouthwash that work best. None of this benefits him in anyway outside of providing good guidance…

I have been plagued with an illness that is complex and difficult to diagnose and treat. Dr. Fignar has done an amazing job of researching and having me try various treatments after an incredibly thorough examination and battery of tests.

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.
