I began seeing Dr. Phillips as my PCP in the early '90's. She is intuitive, detail-oriented, listens carefully, explains things in depth, and stays up-to-date. She knows my medical history and is very savvy in taking that into consideration whenever I see her. She is proactive. She will do a referral to a top specialist if needed. She takes plenty of time with me, but does not waste… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my medical education, professional interest in emerging treatment options and relationships with local specialists. Some of my areas of focus include prevention of atherosclerosis to decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes, coaching patients on ways to adopt a healthier lifestyle despite barriers and exploring nonpharmacological treatments for issues before prescribing medication.
As one of the few internal medicine doctors in the greater Cleveland/Akron/Canton area offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide care that can help support your well-being, whether you are managing a chronic condition, have wellness goals to reach or simply want to maintain your health in the years ahead. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
My practice is located in Fairlawn, Ohio, close to I-77 exits and right behind the Summit Mall. This location conveniently serves patients from Medina, Wadsworth, Akron, Bath, Canton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls and the southern Cleveland suburbs. I am affiliated with Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Phillips
Several years ago my mom, then in her mid seventies, was without a doctor. ( her previous doctor moved out of state) . Although she was in good health I felt it was important that my mom find a new physician. It was important for there to be good rapport. I called an ENT doctor in our hometown that our family had known for decades. He highly recommend Dr Phillips and was a patient of hers… See more
Dr. Phillips has been such a nice doctor. Very thorough and caring while at the same time being level headed and professional. I feel very comfortable being myself in a consultation.
Fortunately I have not had to call her for an illness or injury. But when I needed a specialist she recommended someone who I saw in a timely manner. Thank you !
I have sleep apnea. I didn't know I had it, and I don't know when it might have begun before it was diagnosed. During a regular visit with Dr. Phillips, I mentioned that my (fraternal) twin sister had this. I happened to have a family picture of all five of us, and I showed it to her. She studied it for several minutes, then commented that the lower part of my twin sister's… See more

Dr. Phillips is an amazing physician. She always listens, gives feedback when requested and treats each patient with the highest regard. She remembers everything. Highly recommend. My husband and I were patients of hers before MDVIP. Kathy Boos
Dr. Phillips has the gift of caring. Her caring drives inquiry. Inquiry drives analysis. Analysis drives wellness. She can offer sympathy but she can also offer straight talk. Its a source of great comfort to know Melodie is there. And, through her practice, shes there and readily available.
Dr Melodie Phillips is a true professional. She is attentive and compassionate in her care. I suffer from migraines and she is constantly looking into new developments to help me eliminate them. Anytime I have a question or concern, she is readily available to me.
Thank you for caring so much.
