About Michael E. Posey, MD
My goal as your personal doctor is to partner with you to focus on longevity, stabilizing your existing medical problems and eliminating or controlling them with the use of diet, exercise and the appropriate medication and/or supplements.
Prevention is also a primary focus in my practice. The cardiovascular lab panels from Cleveland HeartLab that are part of the MDVIP Wellness Program help us to prevent the development of plaque, which can lead to coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease. We work to get ahead of other conditions that can affect us as we age, such as the development of cancer, dementia, fatigue and arthritic pain, by testing for common risk factors like vitamin D deficiency.
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with flexible hours as late as 6:00 pm to allow appointments to be scheduled the same day or next day for a sick visit.
My internal medicine practice is located in Germantown, TN. We serve patients throughout the Memphis area including the surrounding suburbs of Germantown, Collierville, Arlington, Southaven, Olive Branch and Hernando as well as Desoto and Fayette counties, with patients as far away as Jonesboro, Arkansas, Cape Girardeau, Missouri and Jackson, TN. I admit all my patients to either Methodist Hospital-Germantown or Baptist Hospital-Memphis and follow them throughout the hospital course. I have never used hospitalists, since the knowledge that I have gained from my patient relationships in the office is priceless in managing their healthcare in the hospital. I occasionally make house calls when deemed necessary.
My hope is that a preventive approach will allow you to achieve a long and active life.

Reviews from the web
Michael Posey M.D is not only a great physician he is also a great source of comfort
What I like most, however, is Dr Michael Posey's attentive and caring yet professional manner. I can talk to him about any ailment and he always has a solution. Dr Posey has enhanced my quality of life, and I feel fortunate to have him as my PCP.
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.
