About Angela Pohl, DO
As an osteopathic physician, I have always been interested in the interplay of a person's social, emotional/spiritual and physical health. It has been my greatest joy to get to know my patients and the facets of their lives. Maybe someone's blood pressure is elevated because their spouse is ill, or they are having insomnia because their child is being bullied. Or perhaps someone has fallen in love and they are suddenly looking and feeling 10 years younger.
I am also enthralled with community health—our individual spheres of influence, such as our family, friends, workplace, congregation, romantic relationships and various community roles—and how each can affect our health. The flipside of that is how we each can influence our communities.
I carry lessons and wisdom from mentors and patients from my undergraduate study of community health, where I ran along the shores of Lake Superior; medical school, where I developed a love for rock climbing; and internal medicine residency in a diverse urban neighborhood where I made some of the best friends of my life.
Since 2012, I have practiced medicine and raised a family of four boys in Traverse City, Michigan. Mom and physician are by far my two biggest identities (any of my patients who have paged me at home have heard my boys!), but I'm also a friend, business owner, and a woman on her own spiritual healing journey.
My style of practicing primary care medicine means I have more time to get to know you, including your history. In my experience, I've often met someone during their first visit who asked me to prescribe something or "fix" their health problem, and I've replied, "Not yet, I'm still gathering information." I am a lifelong learner.
I maintain relationships with specialist physicians as well as a network of integrative health providers so that I can help facilitate referrals that fit your needs as they arise.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I'm proud to be part of our community in Traverse City, and hope you'll come partner with me at Traverse Bay Internal Medicine.

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.
