About Hope Ijaola, MD

Practicing medicine, for me, has always been about focusing on and working to understand my patients more deeply. My passion is to bring personalized care to each patient with an emphasis on prevention to help you be healthier. I believe that partnering with my patients in my MDVIP-affiliated practice can help make for a more individualized experience and fosters a more fulfilling physician-patient relationship. I specialize in areas including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, anxiety, depression, weight issues, COPD and asthma. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal wait times.  

Although my practice is in Gilbert, Arizona, I have had the honor and privilege of tending to patients from as close by as Queen Creek, Mesa and Chandler to as far as Eloy, Casa Grande and Sun City. I also cover the surrounding areas of San Tan, Gold Canyon and Florence.

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy cooking, traveling, singing, dancing and watching movies.

What our members are saying

I would like to thank Dr. Hope Ijaola for taking good care of me. Her patience and kindness is what I have come to love most about her. Even when I don’t meet my health goals, she is still always calm, helpful, and encouraging. She never gives up on me. She always comes up with new ideas, when the previous ideas are not working. On this day, I hope she finds fulfillment in the fact that she is…

Thank you so much Dr. Hope!!

Dr. Hope and her staff are super nice and always there to answer questions and concerns. Dr. Hope is very thorough in her attention to my, and my husband's, health care. She always returns my phone calls or messages when needed. She is very kind, concerned and diligent in her attention to the problems I have with my keeping my blood pressure under control. Probably the best doctor I have ever had in my entire life!

Been to several doctors that I believed helped me over the years. I have been happy with MDVIP for several years. We moved to AZ form NJ last year, this was the doctor we choose based on the profile and approach. Having experienced what I thought was good care and now expericing this particular Doctor, I’d suggest not going anywhere else.
From our first conversation on the phone to make an appointment I had a good feeling. The first face to face gave me a better feeling about the care we would get. Came back for the initial assessment to find the absolute thoroughness was beyond what was expected. The personal care, the attention to detail, the follow up questions were above what we have had in the past.
Add to this her personal emotional connection to the discussion at hand. I really felt as though she cared about our personal plight and she did and she does.
Each time we meet her for current or new situations she has an awesome flare for life that shows. Her personal care that’s designed for you and only you. Never have I been to a Dr that paid so much attention to me, to my medications and went beyond with the questions. She doesn’t accept canned answers, she goes deeper to get the real answers. My RX were not what I needed for years, she changed medications to meet my needs, followed up, brought us back in for follow-ups, was clear in what we were progressing with.
I can’t say enough good about who she is and what she does for patient care.
Imagine all this and then a support team that really pays attention also. Be prepared to be blown away. I was not. I’m forever grateful for all she has done in the past year.

I was very satisfied with my visit today. Dr. Hope Ijaola took her time to go over the results of my test. She was very calm and reassuring that all will be well. She gave me a lot of advice on how to balance out my eating habits and gave recommendations for servings necessary to get me to a healthy lifestyle. I am grateful for her commitment to ensuring that I live a a healthy lifestyle. She even invited me to a Ti Chi class. I am excited for the adventure! Thank you so much, Team Mercy Grace! You all are amazing! I will stick with you all!

Whenever I break she fixes me. She helped me to lose over 70 pounds in 6 months while also recovering from hip replacement surgery . I never believed I could lose weight because of my hypothyroidism and other genetic gifts passed along to me. On this diet It was super easy to lose the weight- barely an inconvenience . I went from 207 to 137. 42% body fat to 15% body fat and my quality of life has improved . Thanks Dr. Hope.

Dr. Hope and all her office staff are TOP Notch. I wouldn't ever switch my mother, as she receives the best care from Mercy Grace. The staff are highly responsive to questions and make any needed referrals for Labs and specialists immediately upon orders. A patient doesn't have to "track down the Dr", since everything is done paperless style, electronically and efficiently. I haven't had to wait longer than half a day when I leave messages for anything and their online patient portal is one of the best systems: I have access to all her Labs, diagnosis, procedures and Office visit info.

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.
