About Timothy Fignar, MD, FAAFP
My goal as your family physician is to provide you with personalized care and support you in working to prevent long-term health problems. Whether your goal is to improve your eating or exercise habits, prevent diabetes or heart disease, 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 with minimal waiting. I offer longer, unhurried visits and the ability to contact me after hours. I am a dual board certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine.
We can focus on personalized, preventive strategies that incorporate approaches to functional health and longevity as you work to enhance and prolong your lifespan through the ages. Â
I have undergone extra training as well: Â Â
- I am board certified in medical weight loss, which can support your focus on healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices. We can discuss how to incorporate physical activity, supplements, prescriptions and behavioral health strategies to foster your pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
- I am trained in the BaleDoneen Method®, an evidence-based approach that helps optimize arterial wellness and avoid cardiovascular, diabetic and other chronic conditions. This training, along with the advanced screenings and tests available in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program that I offer, can help support identifying risks before a heart attack or stroke might occur.Â
- Through my MDVIP affiliation, I can also offer a specialized carotid ultrasound (CIMT) and other screenings and assessments as needed, so let’s discuss.
I see patients throughout Southwest Florida after practicing for more than 21 years in North Central Connecticut, where I was voted the North Central News’ Top Doctor every year from 2014-2024.

Reviews from the web
I am thankful that I have access to great health care.
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.
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.
