About Ann K. Kuenker, DO
My passion in medicine has always centered on teaching and learning with a focus on prevention and wellness rather than just disease management. As an osteopathic physician, I was trained in the holistic model of healthcare, looking at the whole person as well as their family, environment and job. In addition, I believe in helping the patient with lifestyle management to better improve their physical and mental health and well-being. My MDVIP affiliation supports a proactive partnership to individualize your care and wellness plan.
I have training in internal medicine and family practice and am board certified in family medicine. My areas of special interest include nutrition (we truly are what we eat); insulin resistance and diabetes; weight management; and women’s health.
I have been in practice in northern Michigan for over 37 years and see patients from Petoskey, Charlevoix, East Jordan, Boyne City, Elk Rapids, Traverse City, Kingsley, Cadillac, Suttons Bay and other places. My affiliation with MDVIP and the resources it brings to my patients and me to support better health, wellness and longevity is exciting. I welcome you to be a part of my practice.

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.
