Meet Melodie Phillips, MD, FACP
My passion as a primary care physician is to provide you with personalized care and attention with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. I get to know my patients well because I believe it is an integral component of their care and treatment. Knowing about your daily habits, your interests and your family life in addition to your medical history can help me identify the root cause of current issues and better get ahead of potential problems before they can become more serious.
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my medical education, professional interest in emerging treatment options and relationships with local specialists. Some of my areas of focus include prevention of atherosclerosis to decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes, coaching patients on ways to adopt a healthier lifestyle despite barriers and exploring nonpharmacological treatments for issues before prescribing medication.
As one of the few internal medicine doctors in the greater Cleveland/Akron/Canton area offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide care that can help support your well-being, whether you are managing a chronic condition, have wellness goals to reach or simply want to maintain your health in the years ahead. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
My practice is located in Fairlawn, Ohio, close to I-77 exits and right behind the Summit Mall. This location conveniently serves patients from Medina, Wadsworth, Akron, Bath, Canton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls and the southern Cleveland suburbs. I am affiliated with Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Melodie Phillips, MD, FACP
I have a fraternal twin sister; therefore, we do not look very much alike.
from Gloria in OH • February 19, 2014
I have a fraternal twin sister; therefore, we do not look very much alike. My sister has sleep apnea. When I sent a picture of the two of us with our Mom to Dr. Phillips, she became concerned because she noticed that our mouths were alike. She sent me to a sleep lab where I was tested, and I found out that I had sleep apnea as well! For my sister, it was her husband who noticed the problem. Read more...

from De in OH • February 22, 2014
I have been Dr. Phillips patient for about 20 years. She has always been there for me and my family. We have laughed together and cried together. Whenever a resident would trail with Dr. Phillips and I would be coming in for one reason or another, she would say, Wait until you meet this patient! Never knew if that were a compliment or not. Thank G-d for Dr. Phillips. She is one-of-a-kind.
Dr Phillips is a very caring and knowledgeable physician.
