Meet Karen Russell-Little, MD
I am a board-certified internal medicine physician and have been practicing medicine for over 20 years in our local communities. My MDVIP-affiliated practice integrates both traditional and plant-based medicine in ways that I believe can help address your healthcare needs, where appropriate. I want to help you as you work toward disease prevention through weight management, discussing chronic diseases and focusing on cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and respiratory disease, to name a few.
I can work with you on a personalized level to help create a wellness plan that is not only individualized but tailored for your specific health care goals.
My MDVIP affiliated practice offer services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge practices. I also offer same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. Many of my staff speak Spanish.
I serve patients from the greater Detroit area as well as Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bingham Farms, Beverly Hills, Southfield, Franklin, Pontiac and Waterford. My hospital affiliations are with Corewell Health and DMC (Detroit Medical Center).
I received the Michigan Chronicle Women of Excellence Award in 2024.

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.
