About Abby Wilson, MD
I strive to achieve a compassionate environment for my patients including a space where any topic may be broached. I believe nurturing a strong patient-provider relationship allows me to know my patients well and helps us create a personalized treatment plan focused on long-term health. As a patient and a provider, I have experienced several different styles of medical care−some better than others. My passion in medicine is to foster a care style that helps ensure the path to healthier living is not overwhelming. Patients should be able to work toward improving their health with ease and a little friendly guidance.
I believe today’s healthcare system makes it difficult for patients in traditional practices to receive many of the services available for healthier living. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
As a board-certified family medicine physician, I am trained to provide personalized care for the many facets of primary care. I have a special interest in preventative medicine, including how lifestyle changes may help in cancer prevention, cardiovascular health, women’s health, nutrition/ weight management, mental health and sleep.
My office is located in Traverse City, Michigan. I offer same-day or next-day appointments as well as telemedicine visits. I see patients from many areas of Northern Michigan. Traverse City, Empire, Suttons Bay, Kalkaska, Elk Rapids, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Gaylord and the Upper Peninsula are a few examples of the communities I serve.
My affiliation with MDVIP helps me to offer preventive health resources to my patients beyond what may be typically covered by insurance. With these resources, I can work with you to craft a custom wellness plan focused on your current health and to help you as you pursue preventing medical issues.

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.
