Dr. Phillips

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.

Given what is going in our healthcare system, this program is genius

from Gail in OH • February 7, 2014
Given what is going in our healthcare system, this program is genius and gives me practically instant contact with my very caring and capable doctor. As a cancer survivor, this is all the more important to me. I so appreciate receiving blood tests the very next day and being online for me to access.

I feel fortunate to have her as my health care provider.

I've gone through some tough times recently, losing both of my parents. Dr. Phillips gave me a book to read about losing loved ones before this happened. It helped somewhat. But more than the book, I believe Dr. Phillips helped the most, because of the talks we had and she is just a very caring person. I feel fortunate to have her as my health care provider.

Dr. Phillips has been a lovely addition to my 60-year-old life.

Dr. Phillips has been a lovely addition to my 60-year-old life. Throughout my two-year association with her, she's always been available when needed, always been well-informed and thorough in her approach, and has displayed an attitude of genuine care for me and her other patients. Honestly, I don't worry much about my health these days--I can trust my doctor to oversee my health Read more...

Before the exam you have to give blood, And hope during there is no flood.

from Leslie and Edward in OH • February 13, 2014
Ode to a Melodie Physical Before the exam you have to give blood,
And hope during there is no flood.
You pee in the cup hoping for clear,
So you dont have cake, coke or beer. During the exam theres some prods and a poke,
And she always asks if you still smoke.
The stethoscope feels very cold on the chest,
But you hope the lungs are working their best. And then Read more...
