About Nicholas G. Hanson, MD
My passion as a family medicine physician is to provide you personalized healthcare with an emphasis on preventive medicine, longevity and nutrition. There are no shortcuts to being healthier and I approach each patient as a unique individual. I knew I wanted to be a doctor after shadowing my small town family physician when I was in college.
My practice is focused on you and how we can help you work toward making a happier, healthier future a reality. I acknowledge and celebrate that each patient has specific medical needs and can benefit from a custom-tailored path as they pursue improved health. I will work with you at each step to help you make informed decisions about your goals - whether it's discovering exercise options, improving your nutrition or reducing the use of medications, if possible.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice is located in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, and offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences, such as same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting and the opportunity to reach me after hours.
In my free time I enjoy traveling with my wife and daughter, cooking and many sports, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

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.
