About Elisa Ginter, DO
I see my role in medicine as a healer. Each patient that comes to my office has unique concerns and it is my goal to help each one feel both mentally and physically improved through a personalized approach to their medical issues. This cannot be completed by just sitting behind a computer screen or getting information through the voice of an adjunct medical provider. It requires a focused, caring approach as well as a knowledgeable, experienced provider. Originally from and trained in Michigan, I have been a physician for over 30 years and have a Bachelor of Science in nutrition. I am board-certified by both the MD and Osteopathic Family Medicine Boards, as well as a medical school Associate Professor and teacher. I love what I do and have volunteered my time and skills in more than 10 medical missions to underprivileged individuals in Central and South America. I speak medical Spanish and am a current U.S. Civil Surgeon doing immigration services. I enjoy educating my patients about their health as well as explaining prevention and treatment options, however, I never lose sight of the fact that each patient is the master of his/her body. I try to work together with my patients to reach their goals.
As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will be able to devote my energy and focus more on my patients and bring medicine back to a more human level. This will allow me to have additional time to help my patients with preventive strategies to help avoid potential future health concerns and make them feel healthier in their day-to-day lives. In addition to doing full spectrum internal medicine, I do gynecologic exams (pap smears and general woman care), osteopathic manipulation, some joint injections, testosterone treatment and am comfortable and competent with treating depression, anxiety, ADD and mental health concerns. The preventive testing done yearly as part of the MDVIP Annual Wellness Program will assist in this area, but I also plan to schedule some educational forums at my office periodically throughout the year on various current medical topics for any members interested. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. Additionally, I’ll be available for you to make convenient medical appointments that fit your schedule and available by phone 24/7 for any emergent concerns that may come along during the year.

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.
