About Susan Baker, DO
With over 30 years of experience as a family physician, I have learned the most critical factor in the patient‐doctor relationship is listening to what the patient has to say. Listening takes time and, as an MDVIP‐affiliated physician, I have the time to listen. This allows me to develop a highly personalized approach to your preventive health care plan as well as the time to address health care challenges as they arise.
As part of a husband‐wife partnership of family physicians, we share many families. We provide a full range of preventive services, as well as acute care services. We emphasize personalized cardiovascular prevention and cancer screenings, as well as nutritional counselling and manipulative medicine. We have been voted Best Family Doctors in Grand Rapids on multiple occasions. We serve the greater Grand Rapids area including Ada, Cascade, Lowell, Kentwood and Wyoming.

Reviews from the web
This is why people think healthcare needs to change.
I had no idea, when I signed up with MDVIP and Dr Baker in July of 2021, that it was the BEST health care choice I could have possibly made.
Thank you, Dr Baker!
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.
