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 has got me through some difficult times Especially when I had my work injury. He agreed with everything I was trying to accomplish and Always trusted my judgment. Between him and my chiropractor I was able to gain my quality-of-life back and I appreciate the two of them so much for that.

As someone with chronic health issues, knowing that I have Dr. Finger in my corner as I search for new and innovative ways to treat my co-morbid conditions is invaluable. I have never had this kind of medical support and attention before. I can't imagine going back to the way it was before.

As a member of MDVIP and a patient of Dr. Fignar I am very satisfied with the level of care I have received. Dr. Fignar is an outstanding doctor who always finds solutions to my medical needs. I really like the fact I can see him in 1-day if needed and he always make time for me when emergency pops-up.
Dr. Fignar is a great Wellness Doctor which is a very important part to Healthcare which is often overlooked in the industry.
The extra cost associated with MDVIP is a trade-off of course, but for me I believe its worth the cost to get better healthcare as we all get older.

Dr Fignar and staff are top notch! They always have you in their best interest, they actually care about you and your health and take the time to explain things to you. This program wouldn’t be what it is without them! Dr Fignar is so kind, funny and he always makes sure you are comfortable with his treatment plan, he listens to your needs and concerns! Again this practice is top notch and by far my favorite Dr!

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.
