About Brian J. Kolender, MD

I have always felt the most important aspect of my job is to listen. Taking the time to hear what the person in front of me is saying does not occur passively, but is an active process, key to learning the story of your life. Now within the framework of MDVIP I will be finding ways for you, as a patient, to become a healthy person. Together we will be creative to set new goals and forge a lifestyle that leads to wellness. If you find yourself ill, my smaller practice size allows me the time and flexibility to address health problems quickly and thoroughly.

My primary care practice has two locations in Detroit and West Bloomfield, Michigan, and serves patients from Franklin, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield and surrounding towns.

What our members are saying

Dr. Kolender has been my doctor for almost twenty years. Initially I thought he was too young he had just started his practice. He grew a beard which aged him
a little but wasn't complimentary, thankfully he got over that. Now he's a vegan, no meat, no eat!! Setting aside the laugh, I appreciate his enthusiasm to integrate traditional medicine with natural solutions which is…

Dr. Kolender has kept an eye on both my husband and me for quite some time now. We followed him from his stress filled practice to MDVIP. We both love that he has more time to devote to individual patients now. He and his staff have seen us through out-of-state emergencies when we travel. Once he scheduled an appointment for me to see a surgeon when I had a cancer scare. We both have chronic…

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.
