About Denise Kan, MD

As a primary care physician, my passions are prevention and earlier detection where possible, and being an internal medicine doctor in the MDVIP model gives me the tools to better help you manage your chronic conditions. My medical interests include cardiovascular health, nutrition and integrative health. As a female physician, I also have a particular interest in women’s health, including perimenopause and menopause care.

My goal is to provide personalized care in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more time to delve deeply in discussions with you about your personal health history, and we can partner to tailor action plans according to your individual needs and goals.

My practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

My practice serves patients across the Peninsula in Northern California, including Hillsborough, Foster City, San Mateo, Half Moon Bay, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Woodside, Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Portola Valley.

If you don’t take my insurance, you should NOT show up the first thing on my insurance search engine.

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.
