About Aya Rifai, MD

My goal as your personal primary care physician is to help you on your pursuit of a healthier, more joyful life. My focus is you, the patient as a whole, with an emphasis on your physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The doctor-patient relationship is precious in my practice, and I aspire to establish an alliance with you as you work toward wellness and longevity. My aim is for you to feel at home and welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you can receive from everyone in our office.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. By implementing the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, I am able to work closely with you to help develop a plan for pursuing your health goals.

As one of the few female internal medicine physicians in Southeast Michigan who is also certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, I want to help my patients reach their potential healthier weight. In my view, the skyrocketing rates of obesity have caused many of the chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease that we see today. I take special interest in nutritional counseling, healthy diet and lifestyle modifications.

My office is centrally located in the heart of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I see patients from the greater Detroit areas, such as Birmingham, Rochester Hills, Troy, Shelby Township and beyond. I am happy to serve patients of different ethnicities as well, as I am fluent in Arabic and French. My staff takes pride in supporting you on your journey towards your health goals. We offer conveniences including same- or next-day appointments and unhurried visits. You will also receive my personal cell phone number so you can reach me after normal business hours for more urgent medical concerns.

I maintain my staff privileges at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak and Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, as well as Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital (formerly Crittenton Hospital).

In my opinion, health is your wealth. As your personal doctor, I will assist you at each step of the way. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to better health.

I want to thank Dr. Rifai for taking care of me. I have Diabetes, amongst other medical issues. She took the time to get me on track with losing weight and paying attention to balancing my diet. I wouldn’t be where I am with my weight loss if not for her! Thank you and happy Doctor’s Day!

There’s a difference between a physician that listens and one that HEARS you and Dr. Rifai is the latter. Along with taking a more holistic (mind + body) approach, she truly cares about her patients. No band aid treatments are used here - she gets to the root of the issue. We need more physicians to practice like her! Bonus points for friendly staff.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rifai and her team. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted warmly and made to feel completely at ease. Dr. Rifai is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely compassionate and attentive. She took the time to listen to all of my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.

The office is clean and very artsy I loved the artwork on the walls, well-organized, and runs efficiently, with minimal wait times. I really appreciated how thorough the exam was and how Dr. Rifai tailored the treatment plan specifically to my needs.

It’s rare to find a doctor who combines top-notch medical expertise with such a caring approach. I highly recommend Dr. Rifai to anyone looking for a trustworthy and outstanding healthcare provider.

Dr. Rifai is the most amazing doctor I've ever had. She spends a TON of time with her patients to get to the root cause of the issues that they are experiencing. She provides a holistic approach to wellness. I cannot recommend her enough.

Beyond Dr. Rifai, the staff at Integritas is incredibly kind and responsive. Whether I call, email or text I get a very quick response for scheduling or changing appointments.

When I feel the need to see a doctor I am looking for healing and prevention not just a treatment. There is a HUGE difference. I believe a good physician will seek to understand their patients physically, mentally, and spiritually to be an effective healer and preventionist. Also, a physician that is well educated and practices using a combination of natural remedies, vitamins, diet, exercise, and modern medicines is key to providing treatment and counseling that are keys to longevity.
MDVIP Dr. Rifai is my doctor.
She is helping me on my journey to live a longer healthier life!

I've been seeing Dr. Rifai for two years, and I'm very impressed by the quality of her medical care. She is a caring, compassionate doctor, sensitive to my individual needs and concerns -- and great at guiding me through my particular health issues.

She has an excellent "bedside manner" -- reassuring and kind. No matter what questions I have, or health issues I am dealing with, she is a strong advocate and anchor for me. As a senior, there are more health concerns and questions that arise at my age, but I am confident that Dr. Rifai will help me navigate them.

My mother was the one to recommend me after the exceptional treatment she received from Dr. Rifai. I decided to give her a shot after hearing how well she treated my Mom. Boy was she right. Dr. Rifai was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. She even helped setup myChart, gave me some tips for lowering my blood pressure. I can tell she genuinely cares for her patients and that feeling it gives me cannot be described in words. The office staff and nurse were also very friendly. Went for a physical and almost fainted from getting blood drawn. In a heartbeat there were 4 employees including nurse and Dr. Rifai there to check on me, not make me feel embarrassed, and even gave me a protein drink to help. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a doctor who actually cares for their patients, has a great attitude and can explain complex things in an easy to understand manner. You will not be disappointed!

I recently started seeing Dr. Rifai in March of this year (2021) and it was the best decision I ever made. The care that I receive from her is like no other care I’ve ever received from a primary care physician. She truly cares about her patients and I feel that every time I meet with her. Her bedside manner and empathy is exactly what makes her different than all the others. She truly listens to get to the root of what’s wrong and never makes you feel like you are “just losing it”. I can always get in for a routine appointment within a couple weeks when in need. Her staff is as sweet and easy to work with as she is. All in all, I have never had a negative experience and would highly recommend!!

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.
