About Aya Rifai, MD

My goal as your personal primary care physician is to help you on your pursuit of a healthier, more joyful life. My focus is you, the patient as a whole, with an emphasis on your physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The doctor-patient relationship is precious in my practice, and I aspire to establish an alliance with you as you work toward wellness and longevity. My aim is for you to feel at home and welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you can receive from everyone in our office.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. By implementing the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, I am able to work closely with you to help develop a plan for pursuing your health goals.

As one of the few female internal medicine physicians in Southeast Michigan who is also certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, I want to help my patients reach their potential healthier weight. In my view, the skyrocketing rates of obesity have caused many of the chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease that we see today. I take special interest in nutritional counseling, healthy diet and lifestyle modifications.

My office is centrally located in the heart of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I see patients from the greater Detroit areas, such as Birmingham, Rochester Hills, Troy, Shelby Township and beyond. I am happy to serve patients of different ethnicities as well, as I am fluent in Arabic and French. My staff takes pride in supporting you on your journey towards your health goals. We offer conveniences including same- or next-day appointments and unhurried visits. You will also receive my personal cell phone number so you can reach me after normal business hours for more urgent medical concerns.

I maintain my staff privileges at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak and Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, as well as Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital (formerly Crittenton Hospital).

In my opinion, health is your wealth. As your personal doctor, I will assist you at each step of the way. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to better health.

What our members are saying

I have thought about writing this story for several days. The difficulty I’m facing is having the words to truly describe my relationship with Dr. Aya Rifai. Our story began shortly after she started her practice; 13 years later our story continues. When I was hospitalized for a month with severe Covid pneumonia in both lungs, Dr. Rifai followed my progress, checking the lab results each day…

I have only met with Dr. Rafai twice but she seems to be a very caring, knowledgeable and willing to listen doctor. I am looking forward to working with her in the future. She replaced my doctor who retired after 40 plus years of service. That’s a hard act to follow but I believe she can do it.

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.
