Meet Michael E. Monaco, MD


I have strived to create a practice environment that is unhurried, friendly and comfortable where my patients feel welcome and never rushed. My practice style has always been to try to provide comprehensive medical care to my patients by listening to all of their concerns while demonstrating compassion and patience. Ten years ago, the US healthcare system was declared "broken" and it has not improved. Fixes that are needed have not materialized. Premiums are increasing and the hassles for both patients and physicians keep rising. We all know how medicine should be. I invite you to see how medicine can be and is being practiced everyday at my office.

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.

Can't Thank You Enough

from Jeff in KS • March 21, 2024

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 Read more...

World's Best Doctor

from Tanda in MO • March 13, 2024
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!

Accountability, Trust, and Knowledge

from Carol in MO • March 11, 2024
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 Read more...

Dr. Michael Monaco - Three Times a Super Bowl Champion

from Kyle in KS • March 2, 2024
Image provided by: Kyle
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 Read more...

Improving health

from Michael in KS • March 1, 2024
I was in reasonably good health, but realized after a more thorough assessment by Dr. Monaco that I had plenty of room for improvement. Since then, I’m more fit, healthier, and happier physically and mentally. So happy he’s my doc!
