MaxLegend,
In addition to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Yale, and Stanford, Berkeley Haas, Boston U, Vanderbilt, GWU, and Rochester (Simon) have a health management tracks of one kind or another. Whether you could get into the schools you named depends on the quality of your profile. Your 710 and MD suggest you won't need to convince them that you can handle B-school academically and you MD also makes you a diversity candidate, which helps you stand out. However, your big challenges will be showing them you have leadership experiences (of whatever kind, in whatever venue) and that you know why you need an MBA (i.e., showing savvy, well-diligenced goals). If you clear those two hurdles you may have a shot at several of those schools, with Yale being perhaps the most doable and HBS and Stanford the least, in general terms.
Good luck,
