A New Chapter for Dr. Marie Denise Kan

MDVIP is thrilled to announce that Dr. Marie Denise Kan will be launching her new primary care practice on December 1, 2025. Nestled in Redwood City, CA, Dr. Kan will be extending her compassionate care to patients across a wide range of Peninsula communities, including Atherton, Los Altos, and Palo Alto, among others. Her office will officially open its doors for patients on December 8, 2025.

As a dedicated primary care physician specializing in internal medicine, Dr. Kan places a strong emphasis on preventive health and early detection. Her clinical expertise covers various fields, including cardiovascular health, nutrition, integrative medicine, geriatrics, and women’s health, with a particular focus on conditions associated with perimenopause and menopause.

A Personal Commitment to Care

Dr. Kan believes that a doctor should not merely be a provider of medical services but rather a partner in health throughout a patient’s life journey. Having grown up as the oldest of three siblings, caring for others has always been a foundational part of her character. Recognizing that many individuals today struggle to find a primary care provider they can trust, Dr. Kan has designed her practice to emphasize long-term relationships and proactive care.

"I advocate for my patients and aim to foster a long-term relationship where they feel supported and heard, regardless of their health stage," she explains. Her collaboration with MDVIP forms a cornerstone of her practice philosophy, enabling her to deliver personalized healthcare through its unique membership program.

The MDVIP Wellness Program

.- Comprehensive Wellness Plans: Dr. Kan will offer tailored wellness plans that include in-depth screenings and tests tailored to each individual's needs.
.- Same-Day Appointments: Patients will have the opportunity to receive medical care when they most need it, enhancing continuity of care.
.- Personalized Attention: With a smaller practice size, Dr. Kan can dedicate more time to each patient visit, ensuring that all concerns are adequately addressed.
.- Direct Access: In her practice, patients will always consult Dr. Kan rather than a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, ensuring consistent care.

The Motivation Behind the Move

Previously, Dr. Kan practiced in a traditional setting where her patient load exceeded 2,000 individuals, resulting in overwhelming demands that made it difficult to maintain personalized care. Reflecting on her decision to transition to MDVIP, she notes, “I wanted to reconnect with the essence of practicing medicine — to truly care for my patients without being overloaded.”

A Community Staple

Having lived in the Peninsula for many years, Dr. Kan feels an intrinsic connection to the area and its residents, appreciating the community’s commitment to health and wellness. She finds inspiration in the local hiking trails and the vibrant community spirit that underscores the importance of taking care of one’s health.

Outside of her professional life, Dr. Kan is busy raising her daughter, who shows a budding interest in singing and theater. Together, they share the home with two rescue dogs that help maintain an active lifestyle. For Dr. Kan, the Peninsula is not just her work environment; it's a nurturing space where she cultivates relationships and embarks on the rewarding journey of motherhood.
