About Cherylyn K. Black, MD
It is an honor to care for this community and build upon the strong relationships that define this practice. With more than 20 years of experience in family medicine, I have learned that the most important part of healthcare is not just knowledge — it is listening.
Born and raised in the Midwest, I was shaped by the values of honesty, hard work and treating others with respect. Those values continue to guide how I practice medicine. Thanks to the MDVIP model, I can practice the way I began my career - where patients know their doctor; where visits are personal and unhurried; and where you can speak with me when you need guidance.
Health decisions often involve those closest to you, and when appropriate, I welcome the involvement of family members so that care feels supportive and aligned with what matters most to you.
My commitment is to walk alongside you, supporting you with experienced guidance, preventive care approaches, and care through every stage of life, grounded in trust, respect, and partnership.
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your health for years to come.

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.
