Dr. Walend

Meet Paige Walend, MD


The art of family medicine is getting to know your patients. By spending quality time and working together on patient concerns, treatment options, wellness, prevention, and education, a strong partnership can be formed between the physician and the patient. This relationship defines success in primary care. It’s this creation of trust and understanding that allows proper health and enjoyment of life. My goal as an MDVIP-affiliated physician is to offer patients a primary care practice with adequate time to focus on their personal health and concerns. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I want to build strong and lasting relationships to improve not just quantity of years, but quality of life. 

As a female family practice physician offering a personalized healthcare approach, I work with my patients on various medical issues. I enjoy partnering with my patients to focus on wellness, weight loss, fitness, women’s health, genetic predictors and healthy eating. I see patients of all ages from infants to geriatrics.

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.

I have had Dr Walend as my primary care physician for about 16 years. Even when she had a full load of patients, she always made me feel like she had all the time in the world to share with me.
I find her warm and personable. She talks about her family, and I see that she is a loving, attentive mom. We have talked about our parents, and she lets me know how her parents are doing on the East Coast. In this, I feel like she is a friend as well as my doctor.
I value and appreciate her approach to medicine. I feel she is current on new treatments, and aggressive where needed, and conservative as needed. Thankfully, I have no real health issues, and hope to stay that way. But knowing Dr Walend is on my team is a great comfort to me. Also, I travel for a living, and knowing that by being a member of MDVIP, I will have the best medical care provided if I ever need it while out on the road. It will feel as if Dr Walend is there with me.
Honestly, I had to take some time to consider keeping her as my doctor when I learned the cost of MDVIP. But because of the above reasons, and because of the person she is, I couldn't imagine finding another doctor who I trusted and LIKED as much as her.
With that, I know as I get older, the aches and pains are setting in. I hope I never have any large health issues, but I feel I am in good hands in case this happens. In the meantime, the website offers endless tips and education on having a healthier life. The exercise programs, menus, lifestyle suggestions are all there for the taking.
I look forward to Dr Walend to being my doctor for life.
Thank you, Dr W!!

It's so helpful to be able to text Dr Walend anytime about help I need with any medical issues. It's also wonderful that my husband also has chosen her for his Dr so I can work with her to help him enjoy his years. He's 85+ and she has been wonderful for us. When he had Covid, she responded late on a Sunday night and he was better in a few days. With his AFib, that was a blessing.

I am incredibly grateful to have Dr. Walend as my primary care physician. From my very first visit, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Walend takes the time to listen closely to my concerns and always takes the time to answer all my questions.
I love her thoroughness in examinations and commitment to my health. Dr. Walend is the one who first discovered that my prostate cancer had returned and worked out all the details to help me be accepted into Mayo Clinic’s oncology treatment program.
Furthermore, Dr. Walend, on a Sunday afternoon, compassionately facilitated my admittance into a Behavioral Health Care facility.
Dr. Walend’s personal, caring approach
makes me feel valued as a patient. Her office staff is always friendly and efficient and more than willing to go the extra mile.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Walend to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate healthcare provider!

Dr Walend is the best physician I have ever had. She really listens to me. Then she presents several ways that my issues can be addressed. We discuss the pros and cons of any suggested treatment plan. And she has been persistent in solving an issue with my lungs. When she had exhausted her own expertise and consulted with doctors in her network, she didn’t hesitate to send me to Mayo Clinic. I found answers there and she was diligent in reviewing their findings and their treatment plan. We now have that experience and knowledge to refer to whenever I experience similar symptoms, resulting in treatment that is effective. She responds to all of my messages in a timely manner. She really cares about her patients and considers them friends. Her staff is carefully chosen so that her standard of care is carried out through them as well. She deserves the MVP at MDVIP!

Dr. Walend has been my primary care physician for many years. She is an excellent and knowledgeable physician, but what really sets her apart is her willingness to listen and discuss what is going on with me - for her, it's very much a two-way communication process. I've never felt she was rushing to get out of the exam room to the next patient. Highly recommend.

I went for a second opinion and got a bill because they refused to process the billing correctly. Their office billing people, receptionist, and office managers were absolutely as cold as ice! Dr. Walend didn't seem to have a clue about how to fix my situation, but they promised they would help. FORGET IT. Don't bother. I find their words insincere, and void of any compenent to provide some relief for my appointment. Go somewhere else

I waited three months to get into Dr. Walend's practice. It was worth the wait. She gives me the time I need to discuss issues, lab reports and symptoms. I called her once at 9pm to get information about my symptoms. She told me what to buy over the counter to get relief and kept me out of the ER. I have used this after hour service twice and find it very reassuring to have a doctor explain what is happening and how to handle it. She calms my anxiety. She has been very thorough with my yearly exam as well as monthly appointments. I like it when she tells me I am healthy and need to continue managing my health. Dr. Walend is a good partner in my healthcare. I highly recommend her and have referred friends.
