About Celia Garner, MD
My passion is caring holistically for my patients, providing personalized care and helping patients make informed choices about their healthcare that can make sense in their lives. I enjoy focusing on prevention and wellness. I find great satisfaction in helping patients navigate and address acute and chronic illness and in providing comfort in these potentially frightening moments. Creating warm and caring relationships with my patients is what keeps me passionate and thriving in my primary care practice.
I have practiced as a primary care physician for 20 years in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah, area after training in Minneapolis and Boston. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have more time, which I believe is necessary to help patients pursue their goals and discuss their concerns. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. My practice serves adults.
Having unrushed time with patients is essential to caring for you in the personalized, proactive manner that I believe you deserve. I will have more time, resources and the support of the MDVIP benefits to help you work to 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.
