Meet Stephen A. Hilty, MD

My goal in primary care is to keep my attention centered on what is best for each patient. I strive to listen attentively and to allow patients time to describe their symptoms, tell me their story and share their goals and health concerns so that I can understand each patient’s unique situation. I then look for ways to partner with my patients to teach them in a personalized way how to best improve their personal health and well-being. I value continuity of care as I sense it often leads to a deeper, more meaningful, trusting relationship with my patients. I am also committed to staying abreast of the wide array of medical advances so that when it is appropriate I can apply the best that modern medicine has to offer to my patients. In sum, few things are more fulfilling and satisfying than being a part of helping someone adopt a healthy lifestyle or overcome or manage an illness and regain confidence, happiness and fulfillment in their 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.

High Value for My Medical Bucks!

from Fredricf in CA • March 27, 2024
Image provided by: Fredricf
Dr. Stephen Hilty was my doctor before MDVIP and so this switch made a great thing even greater! It is difficult for me to isolate one thing that was a game changer so here are a few. He is just a phone call away when I need him. When I began to experience prostate issues in my early 60s, he paved the way for me to see a top specialist at UC San Francisco. It was very simple, and we got my Read more...

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Hilty since 2001. When he joined MDVIP several years ago, we had no hesitation to join as he is that GOOD! Dr. Hilty is always up to date on the latest studies and informs us if anything pertains to our health or specific illnesses. He explains things so we can understand and makes sure we have time for questions. We have always been able to contact him Read more...

Dr. Hilty Saved My Life - Twice!

from Rachel in CA • February 19, 2024
I'm one of those folks who, in a nineteenth century novel, would have tragically died at a young age. I had scoliosis as a child that required years in a back brace, had difficulty conceiving and maintaining pregnancies as a young(ish) adult, and was placed on strict bedrest with both of my surviving children. When I ruptured a disc in my cervical spine in 2003, rather than prescribe an Read more...

MUCH ANXIETY

from Thomas in CA • February 17, 2024

Several months ago what started out as an episode of intense abdominal pain that led to gall bladder surgery, extra blood work, MRI, CT scans, endoscopy, tubular stints and a possible diagnosis of pancreatic cancer my physician, Dr. Stephen Hilty greatly assisted in me obtaining these tests, surgeries, and scans in a timely manner. He called me frequently during this time with the results of the Read more...
