After the family doctors prevailed,
the case was appealed until it finally
reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
Three Michigan Academy physicians,
including Dean, provided written
testimony.
The court decision — which Dean
and his colleagues won — changed
history. The federal government man-
dated that Medicare was required to
compensate family medicine physi-
cians and other specialists equally for
the same procedure.
He accomplished major feats for
family medicine doctors and the
future of the practice across America.
But once he set the proverbial ball
in motion, he did not stop with
the United States. As an officer in
the American Academy of Family
Physicians, he traveled internationally
to promote the specialty.
Dean has not shied from lead-
ing the profession into the future,
whether through lobbying for the
profession, or writing and publishing
leading-edge articles and books about
the specialty. His distinguished career
has led to many family medicine
milestones. For these accomplish-
ments, along with his dedication to
his patients, he has received a number
of accolades.
In addition to his membership in
Alpha Omega Alpha (the medical
honor society for scholastic achieve-
ment), Dean was named Michigan’s
Family Physician of the Year in 1985,
received a Lifetime Achievement
Award from the American Academy
of Family Physicians in 2002, was
the 2006 recipient of a Lifetime
Achievement Award from the
Michigan Academy of Family
Physicians and received an Archie
Award of Excellence in 2007 from
the MAFP. He has been voted “Best
Physician in America” on several
occasions by his peers.

HIS OWN FAMILY
Sitting in Dean’s living room in
Bloomfield Hills, it is clear his proud-
est accomplishment is his family.
Growing up in Detroit, he met the
love of his life when he was 15 years
old. She was 13. He recalls how he
would cry to “Time after Time” by
Frank Sinatra, as it reminded him of
Vivian.
“She looked like Elizabeth Taylor,”

Dean said. “I would think of her every
time I heard that song. It was our
song, even if she did not know it yet.”
The budding infatuation blossomed
when he was in high school, and he
and Vivian married as he began med-
ical school. They had four children in
three and a half years.
To sustain the needs of his young
family, Dean worked several jobs
throughout his four years at medical
school.
After his naval service, he opened
an office in Redford and hired a nurse
named Phillis Young. She still practic-
es with him today.
He has inspired his family through
medicine. His daughter, Randy Jo
Dean, M.D., completed her medi-
cal degree at Wayne State. Her son,
Dean’s grandson, Ethan Stahl, will be
the third generation to do so as he
entered the WSU School of Medicine
Class of 2022 this year.
Dean was proud to attend the July
27 White Coat ceremony, where, with
his daughter, he took up the honor of
coating Stahl. Dean also has several
nephews who graduated from WSU
medical school.

CHESS SET COLLECTOR
The Dean home is filled with works
of art and pieces of history, including
original paintings and a beautifully
painted 2,000-year-old sarcophagus
from Egypt. While these may catch
the eye of many art lovers, the over-
whelmingly striking and impressive
collection of chess sets Dean owns
quickly takes center stage.
“After I started practicing, Vivian
and I decided to take a trip to the
Middle East. At that time, I was a
terrible flier and, as soon as we land-
ed, I went straight to bed. Vivian got
the shopping bug and went down to
the boutique. It was there she fell in
love with this Yemenite chess set,”
Dean said.
The small amount of money they
had budgeted for gifts for friends and
family was soon exhausted. Since
then, they have collected a chess set
from each country they have visited.
Dean was the founding member
and president of Chess Collectors
International, a group of collectors
who meet every year to discuss
subjects pertaining to chess and
chess sets. ■
