Meet Thomas F. Griffin Jr., MD


My philosophy of caring for my patients centers around helping them enjoy a healthier life by working together to improve their state of mind, body, spirit and relationships. Specifially, I have found that assisting people in managing their cardiovascular health risks usually enhances all four of these areas as well as their entire lives. My staff and I focus on enjoying life rather than avoiding death. The most common side effect of a healthy life is a longer one. This has been my philosophy for years and is the subject of my personal health planning book, Feeling Good for Life.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Thomas F. Griffin Jr., MD

Tom Griffin and a tale of three doctors

from Thea in AZ • January 24, 2024
Image provided by: Thea
I have a tale of three doctors. Doctor #1 prescribed medication to treat my symptoms, but failed to monitor their side effects on my previously healthy kidneys. Some years later, Doctor #2 brusquely informed me that I had advanced chronic kidney disease, and if it progressed, would need dialysis. I was devastated. Doctor #3, my MDVIP physician Thomas F. Griffin, MD, began a regular regimen of Read more...

My Life as a senior without pain.

from Patricia in AZ • January 23, 2024
I had injured my shoulder and have nine pins in the shoulder. Dr. Griffin recommended a masseuse which worked temporarily. Then Dr. Griffin suggested swimming. I have been pain free for 4 years. I swim 45 minutes per day 5 to 7 days a week. Also lowered my blood pressure and alleviated minor depression. I love my MDVIP.

He is just there

from Steve in AZ • January 18, 2024
Tom Griffin MD is my MDVIP doctor. I am a retired surgeon, so I know how important it is to sit down and explain things to patients. Tom just sits down and talks at our appointments. We talk medicine, we shoot the breeze, we spend some time with each other. This is an extremely rare occurrence in today's health care environment; almost non-existent. Mostly, you see the back of a smock on someone Read more...

Caring Physician

from Janet in AZ • March 20, 2020
Dr. Griffin is an excellent listener. In our discussions he often says, “I hear you.” This is very comforting to know that he is really listening. I appreciate this wonderful caring quality in him.

Finally a doctor who listens ( and cares! )

from Stefi in AZ • March 19, 2020
I feel so fortunate to call Dr. Griffin my doctor. After having some health issues traveling out of the country, I really needed to find a good GP. I visited numerous offices before being referred to Dr. Griffin by some close friends. From the moment I walked into the reception room, I knew something was very special about this office. The staff had a calm demeanor and caring attitude. When Read more...
