About Joanne Chan, MD

I believe personalized medicine begins with aiming to understand each patient as a whole person—not simply helping them address symptoms, but recognizing how physical, emotional and mental health are deeply interconnected. Every individual is shaped by unique genetics, life experiences, environment and personal goals, and I believe care should reflect that individuality.

I have been practicing internal medicine since 1997, with an active office and nursing home practice. I believe this long-term experience has given me a deep appreciation for preventive, proactive care. One of my personal goals as a physician is to help my patients work to maintain their independence and avoid the need for long-term nursing home care.

In today’s healthcare system, visits are often rushed and impersonal. Through my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I’m able to offer a different experience—one centered on more time, attention and meaningful physician-patient relationships. This model allows me to provide personalized medical guidance and focus on prevention, wellness and support for patients as they pursue long-term health.

A personal passion of mine is helping patients work to reach their highest potential. I find my greatest fulfillment as a physician when I’m able to inspire insights that can help resolve emotional stress or long-standing challenges—which I’ve seen can often lead to improvements in mental, emotional or physical well-being. These moments of understanding can be powerful catalysts for lasting change.

I’m also deeply interested in longevity medicine, with a focus on helping patients work to remain healthier, more active and independent for as long as possible.

My goal is to partner with you over time, to support you as you work not only toward better health today, but a fuller, healthier life in the years ahead.

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.
