Sanjivan Singh Kohli, MD

"Listen to your patient, because they are trying to tell you something." This philosophy lies at the heart of my practice. I believe that open, honest communication is the cornerstone of personalized patient care, and I have dedicated my career to being a trusted source of information that I believe my patients deserve. I feel that, too often, medical experiences can be marred by inadequate communication, which can leave patients and their loved ones feeling frustrated and unheard.

I am committed to providing a different kind of healthcare experience. I prioritize taking more time to listen and be present for my patients, offering support and guidance at every step. I strive to provide education about more complex medical issues, and I want to help empower patients to make more informed decisions about their care.

My experience encompasses a spectrum of medical treatments. I can discuss and help advise on a variety of diseases, as I can lean on my foundation of working with critically ill patients in an intensive care unit. Equally important, I have experience in providing compassionate, conservative care for patients who may be too frail or ill for more aggressive interventions. I believe prioritizing patient comfort and symptom management is paramount in these situations.

Having served this community since 2007, including my training at University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, I have a network of specialists to whom I can refer patients if the need arises. I also have more time to speak with specialists to support the more personalized, proactive care I can offer my patients.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice is distinguished by several key features designed to enhance the patient experience. I offer services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I maintain privileges at multiple hospitals throughout the region so I can advocate for my patients, sometimes during hospital admissions. Additionally, for patients’ convenience, my practice utilizes a secure, real-time messaging platform.

I am dedicated to building lasting relationships with my patients, providing personalized care that can help address their unique needs and supports them as they pursue living healthier, more fulfilling lives.
