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.

Wonder of Wonders

from Karen in UT • February 14, 2024
Image provided by: Karen
Alison Schlissman is a Wonder among Wonders! No kidding! Alison had been referred to me when I was searching for just the right doctor for my elderly sister. I fell in love with her and her manner immediately and soon became a patient myself. She has seen me through thick and thin (including my sizes) --and I am still here! A couple of years ago Alison left the University of Utah health system Read more...

Allison Schlishman seems to work miracles

from Pam in UT • February 11, 2024

Seven years ago, before Dr Schlishman, moved to MDVIP, I had just gotten word from a different clinic that the biopsy on my breast was malignant. I was told that by a receptionist who gave me numbers of physicians to contact. I was at a loss, so I called Dr Schlishman and asked her what I should do. She told me she would take care of it and within two days she had me an appointment with the head Read more...

Only One Doctor for Us

from Gary in UT • January 25, 2024
Dr. Schlisman became our doctor when my former doctor, Dr. Griffin, was leaving the practice to take care of his father and said to me, “I am only going to recommend one doctor to you, Allison Schlisman. With your ‘white coat disease’, she is the only doctor I know who will make you comfortable enough to want to come back to the doctor’s office”. So, that began a delightful relationship that has Read more...

Dr. Alison Schlisman Is Caring, Cautious, and Thorough

from Alice in ID • January 18, 2024
Image provided by: Alice
When I moved here, my daughter-in-law said I needed a geriatric doctor and made my first appointment with Dr. Schlisman for me. Even when she moved to MDVIP and changed to general medicine, I stayed with her. She is happy to have more time to give her patients now, and continues her careful care of me, a 92-year-old widow who is still quite active but has her share of problems. One visit when Read more...

Our undying appreciation for Dr. Alison Schlisman

from Gary in UT • March 29, 2023
Through a bit of serendipity, Dr. Schlisman became our family doctor and it was the luckiest thing that has ever happen to us. She is by far the most caring and competent physician we have ever had. Even through the pandemic, we knew that Alison had our back if we ever needed medical help. It is remarkably comforting to know that if you need help, your doctor and supporting staff is there for you Read more...
