About Abdallah Karam, MD

I truly believe that forming a dynamic partnership between myself and my patients is a more personalized way to provide healthcare. And like any partnership, it needs to mature over time and be based on mutual trust and respect.

I have strived over the past three decades of practicing internal medicine to develop and nurture these partnerships with my patients in an intimate, welcoming and non-judgmental environment, while also building a network of trusted specialists both locally and nationally. 

As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I am very excited to be able to have more time and resources to spend with my patients. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My practice also offers the convenience of same- or next-day appointments. 

As a physician, I constantly work on improving my skills by staying updated on the ever-changing world of medicine. I also keep myself healthy by “walking the walk” by eating healthy, staying active through my passion for hiking and by participating in competitive amateur ballroom dancing. 

I love all aspects that encompass the vast world of internal medicine, but I have special interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, women’s health, especially menopause-related issues, and LGBTQ+ health.

I speak Spanish, Arabic and French. I see patients from the northwest suburbs and the city of Chicago, Illinois.

Frequently Asked Questions

MDVIP-affiliated physicians use the Wellness Program Plus to help prevent little things from becoming big things – working to help patients enjoy life and be healthier. Those who value their health will appreciate having a closer doctor-patient relationship. Because MDVIP-affiliated physicians have smaller practices, they have more time for you, so you can receive the individualized care and service you deserve. Physicians offering the Plus program have a different set of testing to choose from than physicians in the traditional program; this testing looks at additional health risks. Plus doctors also use an advanced cognitive testing system to evaluate brain health and offer a medication review program.

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.

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.
