About 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.

Reviews from the web
Outstanding Service.
not just focusing on my pulmonary health but my entire body. He is thorough and has been able to solve complex medical problems for me and is always very responsive, informed and caring. His staff are wonderful supportive people also. I feel very lucky to have him as the doctor who helps me with my continued good health.
It doesn’t end there. Dr. Kohli’s team is exceptional. Getting refills or pre-auths are normally a nightmare, but not for this dream team. Margarita and Mickey are rock stars and I truly can’t thank them all enough. I don’t know where I would be in my health journey without them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m most impressed with how much he genuinely cares about his patients. Whenever we need help or have questions, he is quick to respond and always willing to provide support. It’s amazing to know we can always count on him.
I highly recommend Dr. Kohli to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and very responsive doctor.
Also, the staff alongside Dr. Kohli is exceptional and help create a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend Dr. Kohli to anyone who is looking for a doctor that truly cares about their patients!
Frequently Asked Questions
MDVIP-affiliated physicians use the Wellness Program Plus to help prevent little things from becoming big things – working to help patients enjoy life and be healthier. Those who value their health will appreciate having a closer doctor-patient relationship. Because MDVIP-affiliated physicians have smaller practices, they have more time for you, so you can receive the individualized care and service you deserve. Physicians offering the Plus program have a different set of testing to choose from than physicians in the traditional program; this testing looks at additional health risks. Plus doctors also use an advanced cognitive testing system to evaluate brain health and offer a medication review program.
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.
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.
