Meet Michael A. Schindel, MD
My philosophy of health can be summed up by the following words: "Think well, live well, eat well. Then by God's grace you can feel and be well." My role as your physician is to advise and equip you with the information and tools necessary to improve your health and keep you healthy. I prefer to do this with as little medicine as necessary. I have specific interest and expertise in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive health. I cherish the relationships I am able to develop with my patients and their families and desire to provide excellent care.
In my 20+ years of private family practice, I've learned that excellence in healthcare begins with a meaningful relationship between a patient and physician that is focused on wellness and prevention. Current traditional healthcare models demand high patient volumes and minimal face-to-face time with physicians. Future healthcare trends promise to only complicate these issues further. Recent advances in research and technology have resulted in new tests with exceptional predictive value for patients but are often financially unobtainable.
After a thoughtful search for an effective solution, I am thrilled to partner with MDVIP, a personalized preventive healthcare model which optimizes the doctor-patient relationship by allowing me to provide 24/7 availability to my patients, unhurried same or next day appointments and a robust Annual Wellness Program which provides advanced technologies and labs not covered by insurance. By focusing only on a few hundred patients who value this level of care, I can customize a personal, comprehensive care plan for each patient which includes nutritional and exercise plans. I look forward to developing even more meaningful relationships with my patients and sharing the satisfaction of optimal healthcare!

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.

This review is long overdue.
I have been a patient of Dr Schindel’s for nearly twenty years. He is ALWAYS caring and compassionate. His appointments are always kept in a timely manor, and in all this time, I can not remember ever being kept waiting for more than ten or twelve minutes.
Dr Schindel’s communication skills are wonderfull. He always takes the time to listen to all of my concerns - then diagnoses, carefully explains and educates. In short, Dr Schindel is the best doctor I have ever seen.

Michael Schindel is one of the best doctors I have ever known. I worked at a Medical Center for 25 years before I retired and started going to Dr. Schindel. I know how difficult it is to do what Dr. Schindel does with ease. His best characteristic is his ability to really hear what you are saying and help guide you thru your issues. He is currently helping me manage two horrible autoimmune diseases, transverse myelitis and Bechet's disease. He is keeping me sane, happy and on the road to recovery. I am privileged to have him as my personal physician

Dr Schindel is an amazing, caring, patient-focused, professional, very knowledgeable Dr. He and his staff exemplify what you can expect as an MDVIP member/patient. At age 84, I feel valued by the ways they care for me, my medical needs, and my well-being. Thank you.

Dr. Schindel has been my doctor for over 20 years. He is so caring, takes time to listen and go over all options. He has gone above and beyond when I've needed serious medical help to find me the best referrals possible and always follows up to see how I'm doing.

SIMPLY THE BEST
from Mary Kay in CO • January 19, 2024
I share that title for my Doctor Michael Schindel with one of Tina Turner's hits. He is exactly that! He and my husband have been patients of his for at least 20 years and have always been treated like we were "special", but knowing him, he has that extraordinary gift of making each and everyone of his patients feel just like we did/do. My husband left us 2 years ago and was Read more...
This is what I expected from MDVIP.
from leo in CO • January 19, 2024
I was not happy when my first MDVIP doctor moved on. Replacements Number two and three did not provide the care and advise a nearly 90 year old requires and expects to make it to 100. I can talk to my current doctor just as I did to my first. He is not making me younger but makes me feel that I am on the correct path again and has provided some new direction that makes me feel welcome and ready Read more...
