Michael E. Monaco, MD

Hi Doc. I want take this opportunity to once again thank you for all your care and hard work.  You're always quick to respond when I have a health problem. Like a couple of years ago when I had complications from my hernia operation. You were quick to respond to the urine infection while also reassuring me that you would fix it and I would be fine. Comforting words for your star whitecoat syndrome patient. You also got my family through the pandemic. I was afraid our daughters were going to have a nervous breakdown worrying about our lives because of our age and Jan's diabetes. You always responded quickly to our questions and sent updated guidelines for our safety. You not only eased their fears but were able to keep themselves and their kids safer.   I also want to thank you once again for taking on David as a patient, despite your busy schedule, and getting him back on track. He calls me after he has his annual physical every year to thank me for saving his life. I remind him that you're the one saving his life. I merely pointed him in the right direction. Wishing you all the best. See you soon (but not too soon).  

Dr. Michael Monaco has been my PCP for 24 years. I trust him completely to make the best decisions for my health. Dr. Monaco is kind, positive, and encouraging. I always look forward to my annual physical, and I leave feeling optimistic about my health, both physical and mental. I dread the day he retires!

My husband and I both love Dr. Monaco. He helped me loose30 pounds and just by allowing me to send him emails every week with my progress or my not so progress. The accountability I had to have to tell him about my successes and failures did wonders to help me to my goal. He was always supportive and encouraging even when I had failed.
It helps also that I trust his knowledge and expertise. I too am in healthcare so we can have discussions that are relevant and interesting.
Again my husband and I just love that he is always interested in what we have to say, he is patient and answers our questions, and basically is always there for us when we need him. That’s why we love him.

When Dr. Monaco and I began our Physician-Patient relationship 12 years ago next month (April 2024), I had no idea how highly respected he was in general and in the medical community. Respect for him has only grown in both communities over those 12 years. As my MDVIP physician, Dr. Monaco has meticulously monitored my overall health, given me excellent advice, and been there when I needed him. He has been just a "text" away. You should also know that his professional demeanor is balanced by a healthy and appropriate sense of humor. Dr. Monaco does not take himself too seriously. Finally, on Sunday afternoons during the NFL season, I am proud to watch him take excellent on-the-spot care of our Kansas City Chiefs players. After all, how many patients can say their physician has three Super Bowl rings? He has been the team physician since 1994.
