Transforming Patient Care in Salt Lake City

In the scenic Wasatch Front of Utah, Dr. Megan J. Engelen has launched a new practice model that aims to redefine primary care. Teaming up with MDVIP, Dr. Engelen opened her doors on October 31, 2025, offering a practice that prioritizes patient-centric care. Located at 1377 East 3900 South, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, this new establishment promises access to same-day or next-day appointments, comprehensive wellness screenings, and dedicated one-on-one patient interactions, setting a new standard in healthcare.

A Compassionate Healthcare Approach

With over 15 years under her belt in the field of Internal Medicine, Dr. Engelen combines advanced diagnostic techniques with a personal touch. Her areas of expertise include diabetes management, hypertension, cardiovascular health, women's health, and preventive measures for conditions like obesity and pre-diabetes. However, Dr. Engelen’s approach goes beyond treating symptoms—she aims to enhance the overall wellness journey for her patients.

Outside the clinic, nature is where Dr. Engelen finds balance. An avid hiker and cyclist, she enjoys exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Utah while supporting her children during their lacrosse games. For Dr. Engelen, her practice is as much about personal connections with her patients as it is about clinical expertise. “It's not just about treating illness; it’s about supporting someone through their health journey, which requires time,” she explains.

Building Stronger Patient Relationships

The inspiration for her medical career stems from a profound moment she experienced while volunteering at a hospital during her youth. Caring for an elderly patient who expressed heartfelt gratitude sparked her desire to make meaningful connections through healthcare. Dr. Engelen’s dedication to building trust drives her belief that communication is key, often needing more than just a brief encounter to grasp a patient’s true needs.

As she heads into her first month of operation, Dr. Engelen shares insight on maintaining wellness during the holiday period. Repeatedly, she emphasizes the importance of movement and staying engaged in daily life. “Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated; it starts with being active,” she affirms, reflecting her passion for sport and outdoor activities. She encourages her patients to have open dialogues about their health, asserting that empowering oneself through knowledge is crucial to long-term wellness.

“Being part of MDVIP gives me the latitude to cultivate robust doctor-patient relationships,” Dr. Engelen says. Trust is fundamental in her practice; she works tirelessly to ensure patients recognize that their health is a joint endeavor.
