About Megan J. Engelen, DO, FACP
My passion as an internal medicine physician is to support lifelong health and wellness through personalized care. The most rewarding aspect of medicine for me is the deep connections I have with my patients, being there to listen, to support, to guide, and to help as they work to heal on this incredible journey of life. I truly enjoy learning what is most important to you and taking into account your values and goals to support care that can be in alignment. I will partner with you every step of this journey. Being in the MDVIP model gives me the tools to better help you manage a chronic illness, work to improve your nutrition, get more active, or run a 5K or triathlon. My goal is to help you as you pursue improving your health span and preventing disease. I like to use a personalized approach, incorporating lifestyle interventions before using medications when possible.
I am board certified in internal medicine and have been practicing medicine for over 15 years. I have experience in my field, and I continue to learn from my patients each day. I am passionate about offering my patients the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, comprised of advanced screenings and tests that can help identify certain risk markers and issues that can be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed. I believe in prevention efforts that incorporate a holistic approach. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in a concierge medicine practice.
My interests include approaching a wide range of conditions including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, mental health and women's health. I have a special interest in earlier interventions, where possible, for prediabetes, weight management and helping women in perimenopause and menopause.
When not engaged with my patients, you can find me cheering on my daughter and two sons at their lacrosse games, road biking up Emigration or Millcreek Canyon, taking my favorite hot yoga class, skiing at Alta, or jogging in my neighborhood. I find joy and peace in the mountains and love adventuring with my husband and kids, whether hiking in the Wasatch, camping in the Tetons, or paddleboarding.
I am excited to partner with you as you take the next step in prioritizing your health.

Reviews from the web
The office workers are friendly.
But Megan is great! I call her Megan cuz I'm old enough and earned the right to do that. At the same time i have the utmost respect for her.
I don’t think that this type of the attitude shows a lot of compassion for her patients.
Dr. Engelen and her office staff have been extremely supportive and efficient in taking care of all my medical needs thus far. Very responsive and quick to follow up on all questions or issues that I've had. I feel thankful to be in their care!
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.
