Meet Tommy T. Kuo, MD


I believe practicing good medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient. Creating personalized plans for my patients to help them address current problems and prevent new ones has always been my goal. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have more time to develop closer relationships with my patients. As your personal doctor, I have more time to work with you as a team and formulate a wellness plan that can help you as you pursue your health goals. There are no shortcuts to being healthier and no simple formulas or one-size-fits-all approaches when it comes to the well-being of my patients. My primary care practice is focused on you and how we can help you make a happier, healthier future a reality. 

With 31 years of practicing in the community, I have relationships with specialists and I can refer you, if necessary. As a primary care physician, I have interests in mental health, weight management, preventive medicine, fitness and well-being. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting – both in-person appointments and tele-health appointments per patient’s preference.

I practice in the San Mateo, California, area. I have privileges at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center and work with independent labs, such as Quest Diagnostics, Lab Corp, and Sutter affiliated labs. I am an associate professor of family medicine at USC and have been chair of family medicine at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center. I also speak Fukienese, and we have staff that speak Spanish.

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.

Since moving to California two years ago, Dr. Kuo. Dr. Kuo and his nursing and administrative staff have provided me and my spouse with exceptional care. They are considerate, patient with questions, helpful, friendly and extremely competent medical professionals. Dr. Kuo always takes the time I feel is necessary during our visits to assist me and always goes the extra mile to give me the most current information regarding my medical matters.

Dr Kuo has been my primary care physician for over 15 years. He is always warm and caring. He asks questions and listens to me. He let's me ask questions and he gives me straight answers. No matter how negligent I am about taking care of myself he keeps providing good advice and has never been judgemental; he helps me explore and find solutions that work for me. Oh, and his sense of humor is great. I always leave his office feeling better. I'm very grateful for him and the care he provides.

Dr. Kuo is the best of the best. Caring, knowledgeable, quick and compassionate. What more could you ask from a physician? I've been with him for many years and he's never failed. Always reliable and caring. Thank you. Great staff and attitude from all as well. Really lucky to have him as my primary.

Dr. Kuo is a great example to other medical providers in treating their patients. He demonstrates a great deal of empathy and spare some time to listen regardless of his hectic schedule. He gives advice to what he thinks is best for the patient but at the same time, he acknowledge and give his utmost respect to the patient’s decision and help them out better their medical condition. He follow ups through phone calls n try his hardest to reach out no matter how many times in a day he calls his patients. Dr. Kuo is one of a kind doctor whom I witnessed his care and concern for his patients’ battle toward their medical conditions and situations in life. I am saddened by his decision to join the MDVIP but as his patient, I have to support what my doctor thinks is best in patient care. He chose this path to improve and excel in giving his undivided attention to his patients as he try to resolve and give the best possible treatments available to meet their medical needs in living a healthy and longer life.
