My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Over the years it has been my passion to help people see the big picture of their health; how their blood sugars affect their heart, how their heart affects their activity level and how their activity affects their mind. The way I see it, we are all given a body that will last about 100 years in the best of environments. We as individuals hold the power, working under the guidance of our doctors using nutrition, exercise, supplements and medications, when necessary, to achieve the health that we desire. 

I have always been a global thinker when it comes to healthcare. Not only have I been a full-time family physician for over 20 years, I have also served as Chair for a Hospital Board, a Director for a Health Insurance Board and a Director for two Physician Organization Boards. When I went to medical school, I thought that perhaps I wanted to be a Cardiologist. However, I found out that I loved problem-solving and how all the ‘pieces’ of medicine fit together. By taking care of up to five generations in one family, I have developed lasting relationships with my patients and have learned that ‘medicine’ is a small part of overall health. I am excited to offer personalized health care in my new MDVIP-affiliated practice located in Northern Michigan. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I look forward to not only improving treatment for current illnesses, but also better preventing disease. I heard it said once that a “good doctor knows what medicines to put a patient on, but a great doctor knows how to get a patient off them”. By using MDVIP’s model of care and through counseling using the annual wellness exam, I am able to be that doctor and help people achieve their healthcare goals.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Walker

Always there for me.
from Karen in MI March 13, 2020 for Wendy Walker, MD

It is comforting to know Dr. Walker is there 24/7 even when we are away for 4 months out of the year. Always spends time to talk and ask about how I am doing. I feel like I am having a conversation with a close friend. The annual physical is the most complete I have ever had. Hope she will be be my doctor always.

SAVED MY LIFE
from ROXIE in MI March 12, 2020 for Wendy Walker, MD

I am NOT melodramatic, nor do I embellish. I am living proof of the knowledge and professionalism of Dr Wendy Walker.
She not only saved my life once but has done so twice.

The first time, she listened as I nonchalantly mentioned some symptoms I was experiencing that involved cysts that I had a past history of. Without going into details, Dr Walker listened and intuitively she… See more

Dr. Walker is the best.
from Sherrie in MI March 10, 2020 for Wendy Walker, MD

My husband and I travel to Arizona every winter and inevitably I need to see a doctor at least once throughout the winter season. This year I needed a hip replacement and Dr. Walker contacted a local MDVIP dr., obtained a recommendation for an orthopedic surgeon, and also arranged for the MDVIP dr. to perform my pre-surgery physical. Dr. Walker goes above and beyond with both myself and my… See more

Long friendship with Dr Walker
from Margo in MI March 10, 2020 for Wendy Walker, MD

We chose Wendy Walker for our Primary Care doctor when our daughter turned 20 and was too old for a pediatrician over 20 years ago. Wendy had just come to serve in rural Petoskey as a young doctor. Her followers grew to a very large number as she was sought after as the best primary care doctor in Petoskey. She became President of Northern Michigan Hospital, is part owner of Little Traverse… See more

from John in MI March 8, 2018 for Wendy Walker, MD

My wife and I are now in our 70's and we have been relying upon Dr Walker for our medical care for many, many years.

she truly cares about her patients.
from Susan in TX March 6, 2018 for Wendy Walker, MD

Not only is Dr Walker an excellent physician, she truly cares about her patients. She will always take the time necessary to explain what you have going on medically and the time for you to express what is going on in your life.

Dr. Walker has been a wonderful doctor and friend!
from Carol in MI March 3, 2018 for Wendy Walker, MD

Dr. Walker has been a wonderful doctor and friend! She not only takes time to listen to my health concerns but also wanting to understand all that goes on that may affect one's health. And, if possible, she is very willing to suggest other ways of treatment if drugs are not one's desire. She truly is a doctor who cares about each of her patients.
