About Afriyie M. Gray, DO
My journey to becoming a primary care doctor began when I witnessed the care my mother received while battling lupus. During that time, I helped with daily activities that she could no longer manage, and I discovered that a physician’s role can extend beyond providing just medical care; they can be the cornerstone of the entire healing process. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in medicine, leading me to where I am today as your dedicated, personal doctor.
I am Dr. Afriyie (Aff-ree-ay) Gray, and I am committed to helping empower you with education and information so you can make informed decisions about your health. With 15 years of experience, my mission is to provide a personalized healthcare experience that emphasizes a holistic and patient-centered approach.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screening and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I am pleased to serve and support the surrounding communities of Cascade, Kentwood, Wyoming, Comstock Park and Gaines Township areas.
As a woman and leader in our community, I strive to inspire others to pursue their dreams and advocate for their health. My involvement ranges from local to global initiatives, and I have had the honor of speaking at events, such as Create with Me: A Woman Writes, and Grace for the Nations Women: Heart Disease. I have also served as a local disc jockey and medical correspondent for WKTV in the Greater Grand Rapids area.
Because my practice is smaller in size, when you are sick or just concerned, I have more time for same- or next-day appointments, phone calls that are answered by a person and, most importantly, visits that are relaxed and not rushed. My patients can come in for an appointment or they can call me (even when traveling). I want to take care of you.
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family, listening to music and podcasts, reading, engaging in sports and traveling. A quote that I live by is, “Once a man angers you, he conquers you.” I first heard this in high school and since then it has shaped my way of thinking, encouraging me to speak from a place of love and logic.
By choosing me as your doctor, you can experience an environment that supports empowerment, authenticity and unwavering encouragement. I am eager to share my experience and invite you to partner with me on your journey to pursue improved physical and mental well-being. Together, we can develop a plan to navigate that path beginning right here in our community.

What our members are saying
Reviews from the web
upon arrival to my appointment yesterday, I immediately knew I’d found my new MDVIP home! I’m disabled and chronically ill—a medically complex patient. Dr. Gray’s knowledge, expertise, candor, warmth, and compassion quickly put all of my medical anxieties at ease. I’ve been an MDVIP member for many years and the care I’ve received has ALWAYS been exceptional. Dr. Gray and her staff are the real deal.
The staff in her office were warm and welcoming.
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.
