PenniAnn Whitten, MD

I chose to affiliate with MDVIP because the model’s primary care philosophy aligns with mine: more personalized, proactive care. I believe that having more time to spend with patients and taking a more proactive vs. reactive approach can help identify risk markers and can make a difference for patients as they work to improve their health. I believe in health span, a concept referring to the number of healthier, disease-free years of life you could experience, not just life span. I also believe that having meaningful relationships with patients is what primary care is all about. It’s the very reason I went into primary care. My MDVIP-affiliated practice allows me more time to get to know my patients and give them the individualized care I believe they need. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same-or next-day appointments.

I am a board-certified family medicine physician who has been practicing for 18 years in Phoenix, Arizona. My practice is in the Ahwatukee area. I practice primary care, and my special interests include women’s health, preventive care and minor in-office procedures. I have affiliations with Banner Health and Dignity Health hospitals.
