About Gary M. Ayres, MD
As an Ascension Medical Group doctor, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. I believe practicing good medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient – a partnership based on mutual trust and respect that is earned, not given. As a primary care physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients, more carefully review records and perform more comprehensive exams. Being your personal doctor, we can work as a team and formulate a wellness plan that can help you better achieve your health goals. I also believe there are no shortcuts to being healthy, and no simple formulas or "one size fits all" approaches when it comes to the well-being of my patients. My primary care practice is focused on you and how we can help make a happier, healthier future your reality.
With over 37 years of practicing in the greater Indianapolis community, I have relationships with many Ascension Medical Group specialists. I also have interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. And my practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. And I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments.
I see patients from all over central Indiana and have medical staff privileges at all the local Ascension St. Vincent Hospitals. I have been recognized as a distinguished physician member of the staff since 1986 and selected as a top internal medicine doctor in Indianapolis Monthly for several years.

Reviews from the web
I eventually gave up, said thank you, and ended the call having no more information than I had when I made the phone call.
Carole Pfister Gulledge.
Called to start the process and was very rudly told he was not accepting new patients and the websites are out of date and irrelevant.
So I guess don't waste you time and look elsewhere
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.
