About Tobin Fisher, MD
One of the biggest critiques I have of modern medicine is that despite the awe‐inspiring breakthroughs we achieve on a daily basis, the human being often gets forgotten. My goal as your private doctor is to get to know the whole you so I can help you live your best life rather than simply addressing issues as they come along.
As one of the few family medicine doctors in Huntsville offering this personalized healthcare approach, I am committed to serving my patients and working together to help them achieve their personal goals. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
My practice is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and serves patients from Athens, Gurley, Harvest, Huntsville, Laceys Spring, Madison, Meridianville, New Market, Owens Cross Roads and Tennessee. In addition to being a primary care physician, I am also a diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology and a certified specialist in clinical hypertension. My practice focuses on heart health and preventive care in addition to all aspects of primary care, and I am affiliated with Huntsville Hospital and Crestwood Hospital.

What our members are saying
He and his staff are great to be around and we are grateful to have found him.
Reviews from the web
Dr. Fisher is by far the best doctor I’ve seen and I’ve been under the care of various doctors, since childhood. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, well-educated, and genuinely caring. He listens closely and works with me to find the right treatment. He’s attentive and thoughtful about medications and always makes sure I’m comfortable with the plan before moving forward.
One of the things I really appreciate is how Dr. Fisher offers simple, insightful advice. When I explain how I’m feeling or what I’m struggling with, he helps me see things more clearly with straightforward recommendations and sometimes simple life advice. He helps to connect the dots between my past and present in a way that makes a real difference.
Appointments always run on time, and rescheduling is simple when needed. His staff is professional, and genuinely caring. I truly feel that I’m in the best possible hands for my medical and mental health. I’m so grateful I was referred to Dr. Fisher, and I can’t recommend him and his team enough.
The staff is wonderful too. Highly recommend!
I don't like needles, I don't like shots. This was the best vaccination experience I've had, they were quick and precise, professional and kind.
10 for 10 would go back again, but since they offer a single dose Covid 19 vaccine I don't have to go back.
My husband and myself respect his opinion and advice.
He LISTENS!
He also responds to any of our questions and or concerns.His Staff are very friendly ,caring,and helpful.
Dr Fisher has been providing me with medical needs for several years, he has always been very professional & his knowledge has kept me healthy.
Thanks to Dr Fisher & Staff
However I recently discovered something which caused me to lose some respect for Dr. Fisher. He once had me on a medication which worked great to treat my issue. One visit he let me know "I'm going to prescribe something different".
I asked, "why? What I am taking works great!"
He told me that they had quit making the other medicine. Te new medicine was only about 50% as effective as treating my condition as the the medicine he took away.
That was years ago, and being that I respected and trusted him I didnt even bother to seek to find if it was true or not. My wife is recently faced a similar health issue and lo and behold our new doctor prescribed her the exact same medicine that Dr. Fisher had taken me off of, which he had said was because they no longer made it.
Her condition didn't persist as mine did, so she had some of the medicine left and I decided to take for it for a few days, and it still worked better than anything else I had used, so I had our current DR. prescribe it instead.
I was floored to learn that he had taken me off of a medicine that worked and was still available in order to prescribe something less effective, and the only reason I can conclude that Fisher lied to me is that he must have been getting a stipend from the manufacturer for prescribing me the medicine he changed me too, so obviously the concern for his bank account balance was of more value to him than was my 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.
