About Timothy Tuel, MD
I have been a family physician for three decades and have spent 27 of those years in the Florida Panhandle. I have always prided myself on having open and honest communication with my patients.
I chose to become a MDVIP-affiliated physician to have more time to have meaningful discussions with my patients regarding their health as well as risk factors associated with chronic diseases. I have special interests in caring for patients with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. . My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. These assessments have been shown to help identify certain risk factors, helping us to stay on top of your health and can aid in designing a wellness plan.
Similar to concierge practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next day appointments. With deep roots in the Florida Panhandle, I look forward to you seeing how my practice and more individualized care can help you as you pursue improving your health.

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.
