Meet Wendy Walker, MD


Over the years it has been my passion to help people see the big picture of their health; how their blood sugars affect their heart, how their heart affects their activity level and how their activity affects their mind. The way I see it, we are all given a body that will last about 100 years in the best of environments. We as individuals hold the power, working under the guidance of our doctors using nutrition, exercise, supplements and medications, when necessary, to achieve the health that we desire. 

I have always been a global thinker when it comes to healthcare. Not only have I been a full-time family physician for over 20 years, I have also served as Chair for a Hospital Board, a Director for a Health Insurance Board and a Director for two Physician Organization Boards. When I went to medical school, I thought that perhaps I wanted to be a Cardiologist. However, I found out that I loved problem-solving and how all the ‘pieces’ of medicine fit together. By taking care of up to five generations in one family, I have developed lasting relationships with my patients and have learned that ‘medicine’ is a small part of overall health. I am excited to offer personalized health care in my new MDVIP-affiliated practice located in Northern Michigan. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I look forward to not only improving treatment for current illnesses, but also better preventing disease. I heard it said once that a “good doctor knows what medicines to put a patient on, but a great doctor knows how to get a patient off them”. By using MDVIP’s model of care and through counseling using the annual wellness exam, I am able to be that doctor and help people achieve their healthcare goals.

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.

After being misdiagnosed with a back condition in a California hospital, I returned home to Harbor Springs, MI and Dr. Wendy Walker wasted no time in re-running a battery of lab tests including an MRI --- and in doing so identified a very serious bacterial infection in my spine.
