About Patrick H. Friedli, MD

It is a great privilege to say I had over 34 years of experience in primary care prior to transitioning to the MDVIP model. I have had experience tending to the health of newborns thru end-of-life issues, and I have faced a spectrum of issues that can affect someone’s health, life and vitality. It is a blessing to acknowledge that I am dually board certified in family medicine and obesity medicine.

My goal is to offer caring, comprehensive and compassionate primary care. My special interests include weight management, nutrition, helping to identify risk markers for diseases, including skin cancers, through the MDVIP Annual Wellness Program, and promoting healthier lifestyles with the aim of helping prevent chronic conditions from worsening. This goal is made possible by partnering with my patients. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My practice also offers same-day or next-day appointments.

My medical practice is located in Traverse City, Michigan, and we service the five-county area of Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Kalkaska, Benzie and Antrim Counties. I am affiliated with Munson Medical Center. I love being in a community that is physically active with all of the natural beauty and unique opportunities that Northern Michigan has to offer.

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.
