About Michael E. Cobble, MD, FNLA
My goal as a primary care physician is to provide a healthy medical environment where our entire office partners with you to effectively address current medical issues and prevent new ones. Growing up in a rural community, I understand the importance of close relationships and value personalized medical care. Having a family affected by heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer has shown me how important it is to effectively address and prevent these issues. I think of every patient in my practice as they are part of my family and I want them to get the medical care and support they want and deserve. This is a partnership to improve the quality of medical visits and your life.
Providing primary care services for over 22 years has been both challenging and rewarding. The challenge has been keeping up with continuing education. Even with this challenge, I have received a Masters in Psychopharmacology to treat severe depression, anxiety and mood disorders. I have become a Certified Hypertension Specialist to manage blood pressure care preventing strokes, heart attacks, kidney and heart failure and also have become a Clinical Lipidologist to help care for your good and bad cholesterol, triglyceride, and fats to reduce bypasses, strokes and heart attacks. I also continue to teach new students at the University of Utah.
The reward has been taking care of each and every patient! As an MDVIP-affiliated physician I can FOCUS more on each patient. My new practice will return to the grass roots where each patient is important and special. I will personalize your care, get to know your family, and have the time to visit and discuss ALL prevention and treatment options. I am excited to be the family doctor who can take care of you when you have the flu, call you with lab results, and be able to see you the next day after you get out of the hospital.

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.
