What Members Are Saying

I fell and had a severely broken hip. It was not fun. I was in the hospital, and they are a little robotic, and you are just on a factory assembly line of folks needing something, So there is no comfort there. My friend called Dr. Schilsman, and they said they would set up an appointment. I was sad because I thought she would visit. But as I was dosing, I looked up, and there she was, giving me the "I am so sorry this happened to you" look I needed from her. Then she talked about healing, what we can do, and the future. She gave me so much comfort; I very much appreciated it. I was scared, and she made me feel safe. It was a moment of connection. I had been with my last Doctor for 23 years and joined MDVIP to stay with her. Then Dr. Schilsman came. Change is hard, but Dr. Schilsman has been exceptionally generous and gracious in caring for my well-being. I need a lot of assistance with my well-being. Thank you for your support.

Dr Alison Schlisman has made a huge difference in my medical and health life. She is always patient, thorough, and listens to my concerns and questions. She helped me set goals and make a plan to reach them. I truly appreciate all she has done to make me feel like a true VIP patient.

Dr. Schlisman, I never thought I would like a doctor as much as I liked Doctor Ahn, but you have definitely surpassed even her level of care. We really love you. You're very thorough and sensitive. An incident that really made a difference to me was when I had a horrible thumb infection, you came in to see me when you were taking time off because your mother had died, and you had recently had a surgery and also had shingles ... that's a dedicated doctor. We appreciate you so much and will continue to see you to the end of our days.

Meet Alison Schlisman, MD

My approach to primary care is to provide education to help my patients make informed choices about their health. Our medical journey together will be one of shared decision making. My role is to help you set and achieve goals that allow you to function and feel at your best. And if you experience illness or disease, I will be there to help navigate a treatment plan. As your primary care physician, I believe my job is to help care for you, as well as to coordinate, facilitate and sometimes translate medical care on your behalf.

I have practiced primary care medicine in Salt Lake City for the last 20 years. I am board certified in both internal medicine and geriatrics. I currently maintain an adjunct faculty position with the University of Utah School of Medicine. My primary focus has been on care for older patients, and I have been voted Best Geriatrics Doctor in City Weekly magazine for the last three years. I am now opening my practice to adults of all ages and hope to share my knowledge of the aging process with a younger generation of patients to help anticipate and avoid pitfalls that occur in later years. And of course, I will continue to provide comprehensive, goal-oriented care to those of my patients who have already entered their senior years.

Having unrushed time with patients is essential to caring for you in the personalized, proactive manner you deserve. As an MDVIP-affiliated doctor, I will have time, resources and MDVIP’s support to help improve your health through all stages of your life.

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.

Help through difficult time

from Tulinda in UT • March 10, 2024

In 2022 I moved to Utah because my husband died suddenly. His death put my health care into turmoil because our heath care was covered by his company, which gave me 30 days to find new health care. MDVIP was recommended to me and I found wonderful Dr. Alison Schlishman. She took over as my primary care doctor and helped me through a very difficult time in my life.
