About Jennifer Battiste, MD
As a family practice physician, I love caring for multiple generations, from great-grandparents to the newest baby and those in between. The best part of my workday is sitting with a patient and spending time learning about that person. My goal is to provide more personal and proactive healthcare to my patients and take more time to focus on lifestyle modifications, prevention and wellness. Some of my professional interests are helping patients work toward a healthier weight, women’s health and chronic diseases, especially diabetes and hypertension. As a MDVIP-affiliated doctor, I can partner with you and help build an action plan as you pursue optimal health.
I have been practicing in Caledonia, Michigan, for more than 20 years and have affiliations with Corewell Health and Trinity Health.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screening and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I welcome you and your family to join our medical family.
Outside of the office, I love spending time with my family: my husband, our two sons and two dogs. Golfing, walking, line dancing and reading also fill up my free time.

What our members are saying
In mid June 2020, I was shopping in Costco and Dr. Jennifer saw me and said, “Hi, how are you doing?” I told her that I’m fine but very concerned of my husband’s change of pace; not wanting to do anything. She said she wanted to see him in her office tomorrow. He wasn’t a patient of hers but she assured me she wanted to see him because my mental health at the moment was in distress because his…

I was having breathing problems. My heart rate was low, etc. Dr. Battiste sent me to a cardiologist. They gave me many tests, but they were not sure exactly what it was even though on one of the test, they said I was textbook third degree block. I went months and they did nothing. I felt like I was dying literally. I made an appointment with Dr. Battiste because I did not know where else to turn…

Dr.Battiste has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years now. And I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. If I could give a 10 star review I would! So instead I will share that Dr. Battiste is super kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She has always gone the extra mile for me and made sure I was always taken care of, even making phone calls after hours on her personal phone.
I saw some reviews of others complaining about the new member fees now that she is a part of MDVIP. I also was not super thrilled about the member fees, so I tried to find another primary care. I had the worst experience EVER with another doctor. They were so unprofessional, judgemental and, made me feel uncomfortable. Their is not much out their for doctors who can provide what her and her team can. My eyes were opened to how good of a doctor I had, and I wasnt going to find that anywhere else. I immediately re- enrolled into the MDVIP program so I could go back to seeing Dr. Battiste. I will gladly pay the member fee to continue seeing someone that truly cares about their patients and their wellbeing. You're not just a number at this office, everyone is very personable and takes the time to get to know you.
Since I've been back her care has continued to be top notch, even with the MDVIP change. Except now she has even more time to spend with patients than before, I also can get in to see her promptly if needed. Shes still the same great Doctor she has always been!
I just wanted to say that the MDVIP fees are well worth it to see her and the added benefits the program has. The only changes Ive seen since she made the transition are good ones. Their are more than a few awsome things the program provides members with, but I can also see how much more beneficial Dr. Battiste can be with the new tools and the extra time she can spend with her patients. I could not ask for more and am super grateful.

I couldn’t be happier with the care I receive from Dr. Battiste and her entire office team. As part of the MDVIP program, the level of attention and accessibility is truly exceptional.
Dr. Battiste is incredibly personable and takes the time to really listen. She is thorough in her approach, never rushed, and always makes sure all of my questions and concerns are addressed. I genuinely feel heard and cared for at every visit. There are even times I leave appointments feeling like I’ve had a bit of therapy as well, which speaks volumes about her compassion and ability to connect on a personal level.
Her staff is just as wonderful...friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. Whether it’s scheduling, follow-ups, or quick questions, they make everything easy and stress-free.
It’s such a comfort knowing I have a doctor who is not only highly competent, but also truly invested in my overall well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Battiste and her team to anyone looking for a more personalized, attentive healthcare experience.

It's to bad my wife was a client of hers for 25+ years. Now she wants 2500 dollars to stay with her. What a joke she is .All about the 💰 not the clients

Ok sure, she's not a bad doctor BUT after 20 years of being a patient she decided to be a concierge doctor. So, if I didn't pay her "subscription fees / club dues" she wouldnt treat me. First do no harm ... right doc? She wants $2500 annually to be in her club. How are those in the most need supposed to afford this. I have never felt more betrayed by an individual.

Dr Jennifer really cares, listens, has empathy for you, knows when to just listenandwhen to give you a nudge. She's the epitome of the lifetime physician and helps each patient to set and achieve goals, but most importantly, she's available when you need her, even during a blizzard.

Dr. Battiste is an amazing doctor and wonderful person. Her staff is friendly and kind. Dr. Battiste helped me through my high risk pregnancies and was a key part of a happy outcome from a life threatening blood clot. Do I trust her with my life? YES! I’ve been her patient for 21 years and have been MORE than satisfied with the care my family and I have received.

Dr. Battiste is a caring, professional doctor who isn't afraid to make referrals when it is necessary. She calls after hours from her private phone!!
She has consistent staff, who are wonderful.

I wish I could leave negative stars. I am leaving this review so others know what they are truly getting into. I was forced to go to this "Doctor" in my youth. As soon as I turned 18, I switched to my own doctor and FINALLY found where my health issues were stemming from. She made fun of me and my style choice when I was a teen, she also taunted me about my weight, and blamed it solely on diet. Which was frustrating as my siblings did not have similar issues and we all had the same diet. Come to find out I have multiple autoimmune disorders and some hereditary issues that cause excessive weight gain. I discovered most of these through a couple different ER visits combined with referrals from the ER to specialists. Now in addition to this she mocked my hairs roots when I was a teen. Honestly I feel abused by this doctor and her practice. After not being a patient there for many years I received a call from her husband asking medical questions and seeking personal information. I had told my mother who was still seeing her at the time that this happened and I wanted to report them, but she asked that I do not do this. So I did not, but now knowing what she has done to a loved one and the lack of care or information provided to and for them has caused them to discover a terminal illness too late in the game, for anything to be done. There is much more to be said and many more details and specific examples I could include, but I felt I should at least share a review so no one else or their loved ones suffer.

I've been seeing Dr. Battiste for as long as I can remember. She is caring, respectful, and all around a very great doctor. Her staff is wonderful as well; they always make sure I am comfortable and ease my nerves about any sort of treatment. If I could give a higher rating I would!

Not happy with her AT ALL!! Had to FIND A NEW DR to find out what was REALLY going on. If she didnt know what shes doing, than she SHOULD'VE sent him to a specialist!! He's in bad shape now. So upset.

I could not be happier with my doctor. She is thorough and conscientious. She takes the time to listen to me and shows genuine concern about my health. Dr. Battiste is also very accommodating. I was out of town on vacation recently and had a minor medical concern. After leaving a message on an afternoon the office was closed, Dr. Battiste made a personal call to check on me the same day. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, competent and caring doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Battiste, as well as her staff!

Not a doctor you would want in your corner if your life depended on it...Obtuse and condescending...doesn't listen well...quick to dismiss patient's concerns or fears...knows it all, has seen it all...insensitive...almost comatose in her demeanor...if a medical problem involves anything serious, mysterious or lingering, she is way out of her element...good only for the obvious like sore throats, ear infections, flu and such...doesn't followup well with patients...constantly screws up our bill...the worst doctor I've had the displeasure of knowing.

Really cares about her patients. Takes the time to really listen and clearly explain her diagnosis.
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.
