Meet Timothy Fignar, MD, FAAFP
My goal as your family physician is to provide you with personalized care and help to prevent long-term health problems. Whether your goal is to improve your eating or exercise habits, prevent diabetes or heart disease based on enhanced test results, learn new strategies to improve your quality of life with chronic health problems, or just maintain your current health status going forward, we can do more together.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. Just four miles from the Massachusetts border, I offer longer, face-to-face visits and the ability to contact me after hours. We will focus on prevention strategies, and I have undergone extra training to make that benefit go even further.
My patients come from both Northcentral Connecticut (incuding but not limited to) Enfield, Ellington, Stafford, Somers, Tolland and Vernon, and Western Massachusetts (including but not limited to) Agawam, Longmeadow, Ludlow, Southwick, Springfield and Wilbraham.

- I am board certified in obesity medicine. This allows us to focus on nutrition, exercise and behavioral health strategies to help foster a healthier lifestyle, as well as possibly reduce health risks, cut personal healthcare costs and reduce medications.
- I trained in the BaleDoneen Method, focusing on helping to reduce risks for heart disease, stroke and dementia, just to name a few. To further support our focus in these areas, and in addition to the tests included in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, we offer carotid ultrasounds (CIMT), oral pathogen testing, sleep studies, gut microbiome evaluation, cardiovascular genetics and lipoproteins.
- One is a genetic test for cardiovascular and cancer markers.
- Another is a multi-cancer detection test completed through bloodwork that can screen for 50 additional cancers.

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.
