What Members Are Saying

Dr. Ann, as we have come to call her, has been our GP for the past fifteen years. We followed her into her MDVIP practice. A strength of her practice is her ability to listen and truly understand her patients' aches, pains, and concerns. She pays attention to details and responds with true empathy and excellent diagnostic insight. She does not pull out a prescription pad immediately, but explores causes and alternative treatments. She has shepherded us through annual exams, referrals, vaccines, and diagnosis of more serious ailments. My husband was diagnosed eight years ago with Parkinson's Disease. Dr. Ann is in tune with what that means for him. She supports the work of his neurologists by helping us follow a compatible diet. Her inhouse cooking classes and e-mails have helped us pursue a healthier diet. She encourages exercise as a therapy for Parkinson and yoga and meditation for me, the caregiver. She has recommended quite a few books and research papers related to our discussions. Dr. Ann exudes warmth and caring. I got an early Saturday morning call the day after I ended up in the ER with a fractured knee. She is there for her patients outside of office hours. We feel so fortunate to be able to entrust our health care to Dr. Ann Collins.

DR. COLLINS, HELP ME TO MAINTAIN THE GIFT OF GRACE FROM "GOD". EVERY TIME I'M IN THE OFFICE IS A CELEBRATION OF A MILESTONE. I'M THANKFUL & GRATEFUL FOR A VERY PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR. BLESSINGS, 🙌🏿 🙌🏿

I do appreciate that Ann Collins is so preventive oriented. Because of her very early advice, my Type 2 diabetes has always been controlled. I have met other people whose doctors waited until their blood sugar was very high - in one case the person passed out! The first time my blood sugar was slightly above where it should be, Metformin was prescribed for me. This was a great idea. My family history influenced her decision to deal with this immediately. I can't say enough about my wonderful, conscientious doctor.

Meet Ann C. Collins, MD

Your vitality and vibrant experience of life are my goals as your private family physician. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care doctor, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients. You will be nurtured and supported in a warm, welcoming, and unhurried environment that brings ease to your busy schedule. Understanding your priorities, your family, and community supports and stressors allows me to personalize your care. We will effectively partner to treat your current health challenges and work together to prevent new ones.

I am board certified in both Family Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine. My personal practice of yoga, mindfulness, and organic whole food nutrition teaching allows us to take your medical care outside of the exam room, providing you with tools and experiences of nourished living. My passion is to support your well-being using less medication when possible.

I offer expertise in pediatrics, elder-care, adult medicine, executive medicine, diabetes care and prevention, cardiovascular health, stress/mental health/addiction issues, and women’s health. We welcome you to our Nourish Wellness family, and look forward to being of service to you and your family.

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.

I love Dr Collins, she has been able to squeeze my visits in between my travel assignments for work and my overseas vacations. She has also worked with me to find healthy changes through diet and supplements to help me lose weight and decrease my HgA1C. She also encourages natural alternatives to medicine, if it has been proven effective.

I am convinced Doctor Collins saved my life.

from Dwight in IN • March 21, 2018

About a year-and-a -half ago, not so long after I signed-up for the MDVIP program, I suffered an accidental blow to the head. It didn't seem serious at the time. About 30 days later, after experiencing intermittent dizziness, I decided to see Dr. Collins. She got me in right away, and sent me to have a CAT scan that same day. Later that day, well after business hours, the doctor phoned and Read more...
