Vicki Samuels, MD

"Vicki Samuels, direct primary care physician at ImagineMD, ran her own solo fee-for-service medical practice for many years until joining Northwestern Medical Group. After practicing there for four years, she decided to become a direct primary care physician so she could practice medicine the way it was really meant to be practiced. She likens being a physician to being a sports coach: she doesn’t just focus on imparting medical advice; she seeks to engender an atmosphere in which her patients feel encouraged and empowered to make beneficial changes themselves to improve their health and wellbeing."
