What Members Are Saying

Dr. Kerner is the best physician I have ever been blessed to find. She’s no nonsense, straight forward and a great diagnostician. The MDVIP platform works for me and the care I receive is stellar. Prevention has been the best cure. I’m healthier than ever; over 60, going on 35, thanks to Dr. Kerner and MDVIP. The amazing annual physical alone is well worth the price of the fee to join. You’ll not find a better, more comprehensive annual physical.

Lorraine

Patient of Genise E. Kerner, MD

I had been going from dr to dr for years trying to figure out why my muscles were always hurting and I felt like no one was taking me seriously until I finally met Dr. Kerner . She listened. She took me seriously and she did not stop until she figured out what was wrong. And it changed my life. I still have pain all the time but I know why and I know what I need to do to stay healthy.

Judy

Patient of Genise E. Kerner, MD

I haven’t been a patient for very long, but I really appreciate Dr. Kerners quick responses to my concerns as well as getting me in on the same day when I was sick! It’s just what I was looking for.

Meet Genise E. Kerner, MD

Internal medicine has provided me with the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. My patients tell me I have been blessed with keen diagnostic skills. An individual is like a book that takes knowledge, experience and special intuition to read; the testing only confirms clinical suspicion. I am excited to welcome you to my new practice as the first female MDVIP-affiliated physician in Michigan.

I chose to affiliate with MDVIP so I can partner with you in the practice of primary care medicine. I will now have the necessary time to care for you and develop a personalized wellness plan. I will work tirelessly with you to make informed decisions toward achieving your healthcare goals- whether it is an exercise program, losing weight or reducing the number of medications you are on. My special interest is in preventive health, and I believe that a healthy diet, exercise and emotional well-being are the keys to longevity. I am also interested in new state of the art procedures in joint preservation. Integrative medicine is important to me as well, and I add chiropractic medicine, acupuncture and laser referrals to my care plans as needed.

Through more than three decades of practice, I have built relationships with top specialists and centers of excellence. I will help guide you to the specialist who best fits your unique needs and coordinate your care throughout the process.

I am on staff at several hospitals in Oakland County, Michigan: William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, St. John Providence in Southfield, Providence Park in Novi and Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield.

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.

Genise Kerner, MD, physician extraordinaire

from Lorraine in MI • February 21, 2024

I first met Dr. Kerner a couple of decades ago. She was the colleague of my primary care physician. I came down with a terrible respiratory infection and needed to see my physician asap. Dr. Kerner agreed to see me that day as my regular primary care physician was on vacation. She must have been flooded with patients but she agreed to see me and treated me like I was her only patient. I never Read more...

from Susan in MI • January 28, 2024

More like days. Months. Years. Genise Kerner has walked by my side, in front of health milestones, and beyond the obvious, to keep me living my best possible life. This high energy internist untangles complex symptoms with medical facts, years of experience and savvy intuition. Plus, she cultivates compassion along with a fix. Always just a text or a phone call away, Dr Kerner’s response is Read more...

So glad I chose Dr. Kerner and MDVIP

from Lorraine in MI • February 12, 2023

In our new world of crowded waiting rooms, physicians who are overrun with too many patients and too little time to spend with them, I experience none of that upon having joined Dr. Kerner and MDVip. I’m healthier, confident in my care partners and I can’t thank them enough. There are far too many positives to list. What I would say is this…to anyone who is invested in their health, looking for a Read more...

Simply The Best!!

from Sandra in MI • November 1, 2022

I began to see Dr. Kerner after my previous doctor retired suddenly. At our first meeting I felt a definite bond and kinship with her. She has always given me her time without qualification and, when I feel downtrodden, she always fills me with hope. She is an excellent diagnostician and has found things that other doctors have missed. I feel lucky and privileged to call her my physician.

THROUGH A STROKE OF GOOD LUCK

from Patricia A in MI • March 25, 2020

A Southerner by birth and an admitted Eccentric Southern Woman 'of a certain age', moved to this very different world to be near my young, only, grandchild. I knew no one and vice versa and no one's people, found unrecognisable names, places and foods and people who stare when I say 'yes m'am, no m'am, thank you, or please'. Daily I encounter craters in roads Read more...
