About Ross J. Morell, DO

As a family medicine physician in the Western Medical World for several years, I feel I have a good sense of Western medicine’s strengths and weaknesses. I am convinced that a strong and trusting patient/physician relationship is the best tool we have to promote your overall good health and wellness. I believe that a tailored approach to each patient as an individual is the most effective way to practice good medicine.
 
My personal approach to life has always been to provide a good example to those entrusting me with their care. I have been a long-distance runner and veteran of many marathons, half marathons and shorter races over the last 20 to 30 years. The MDVIP practice model fits extremely well with my philosophy. Being able to spend even more time with my patients to plan and formulate a coordinated approach to their health is exactly where I want to be at this time in my career.

My primary care practice is located in Brighton, Michigan, but also serves South Lyon, Milford, Highland, Howell, Whitmore Lake, Fenton, Linden and Fowlerville.

Dr. Morell has been Brinda’s primary care doctor for over 35 years through numerous times of difficulty and illnesses. He has always been there when needed. He even went to the funeral of our son’s untimely death. He was there to insure that if she needed anything he could help. For this and his 35 years of outstanding service we are extremely grateful.

I was a patient before Dr. Morell entered MDVIP. I thought long and hard about the cost to continue to be associated with Dr. Morell. Years later I am sure I made the right decision to stay with him when he went into MDVIP and I joined. He is an excellent, compassionate, very personable and attentive Doctor. I am very picky and I can assure you Dr Morell and everyone in his office is…

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.
