What Members Are Saying

I appreciate knowing I can contact Dr. Babe and she will get back to me quickly to talk with me. She will usually arrange to see me the same day. My husband of nearly fifty years passed away after a long illness. Dr. Babe was there for me to help with the changes in my life and health that came after such a huge shock and change to my whole way of life. I know that because of her I do not have to cope alone, that ' I have her in my corner" as I face my own old age and health problems.

Dr. Babe, her nurse and receptionist are great. My medical care from this practice and MDVIP has kept me healthy. I appreciate the Wellness visit and the referral to several specialists. Tracking of my vaccinations and medicines is helpful. Thanks, Dr. Babe.

My wife received a dog bite while on vacation in Virginia. Initially it wasn't a big concern knowing this family dog was up to date with shots etc. Three days later though she developed a definite infection reaction with fever, chills and swelling of her finger. We went to the emergency department and after a blood test she was admitted into the hospital for treatment due to the serious blood borne pathogen she had developed. We contacted our primary doctor Laura Babe in Michigan and informed her of the problem. The hospital specialists put my wife on a 14 day regimen of antibiotics to be delivered into a midline port 3 times a day. The training and medications were supplied so she could go home for the treatment. She also needed to be seen by a doctor after a few days to check out the results. We contacted Dr Babe and she connected us with MDVIP associate Dr Assesor. This gave us a local doctor in case of any new issues or prescription needs. We scheduled an appointment with Dr Assesor and she was a thoughtful careful understanding physician like Dr Babe. She took the time to talk with my wife and understand her background and concerns. This proved to be extremely helpful when on the last day of antibiotic treatment my wife received a message from the hospital that a blood test said she had .the serious bacteria we thought we had finished treating. This was on a Sunday morning. My wife tried to reach the infectious disease specialist from the hospital, and searched on her patient portal to discover what was wrong but to no avail. Then she called Dr Assesor who not only called her back quickly but went to discover the background of the hospital message. It turned out the blood test referred to was from the first initial blood draw from 2 weeks previous which had been sent to the Mayo clinic for corroboration. It had confirmed the same germ as the local test had. But it wasn't the result of the blood draw from 2 days previous which later came back as all clear. Dr Assesor was able to discover this timeline and called my wife back with the explanation all within 2 hours. Great relief was supplied by her skilled supports. We would like to thank Drs Babe and Assesor for their assistance and caring. This event proves the value of having membership in MDVIP and the great doctors who are part of it.

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.
