On November 24, 2025, Dr. Megan J. Engelen, a respected physician in Salt Lake City, launched a new practice in partnership with MDVIP that aims to transform primary care by prioritizing patient-focused services. Located at 1377 East 3900 South, Suite 200, Dr. Engelen’s practice offers same-day or next-day appointments, comprehensive wellness screenings, and personalized care. With over 15 years of experience in Internal Medicine, she combines advanced medical diagnostics with a compassionate approach to patient care.
Dr. Engelen specializes in various health areas, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and women’s health. Her emphasis on preventive interventions, such as managing pre-diabetes and obesity, reflects her commitment to holistic patient wellness. Outside her practice, Dr. Engelen is an enthusiastic outdoorsperson, often found hiking the Wasatch mountains or cheering for her children at their lacrosse games. She feels deeply connected to the local community and believes in a collaborative approach to healthcare.
Building Trust Through Dedicated Care
Dr. Engelen’s journey into medicine is rooted in a desire to make meaningful connections with her patients. A pivotal moment occurred during her early volunteering days at a hospital when an elderly patient expressed gratitude with the words, “I love you.” This experience reinforced her belief that genuine care is about more than treating illnesses; it involves understanding the complete health journey of each individual. She emphasizes, “It’s one thing to treat illness. It’s another to support someone’s full health journey,” highlighting the importance of time spent with patients.
As the holiday season approaches, Dr. Engelen shares practical advice for maintaining wellness during this busy time. She encourages her patients to stay active and engaged, stating, “Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated; it starts with staying in motion.” Her experience as an athlete informs her belief that movement is a critical component of preventive health. She also urges individuals to embrace health conversations, saying, “Your health shouldn’t feel intimidating; it should feel empowering.” This perspective helps patients feel more in control of their well-being as they enter the new year.
The MDVIP Advantage
At her MDVIP-affiliated practice, Dr. Engelen provides a range of services designed to facilitate proactive health management. The offerings include a comprehensive annual wellness program that features advanced screenings tailored to individual needs. Patients can expect timely appointments with Dr. Engelen herself, rather than impersonal visits with substitute providers, fostering a stronger doctor-patient relationship.
“Being backed by MDVIP means I have the space to really focus on building those doctor-patient relationships,” Dr. Engelen explains. “It’s about establishing trust and helping my patients understand that I’m on their side.” This model of care allows her to work closely with patients, addressing their health concerns and optimizing their overall well-being.
Since the practice opened, Dr. Engelen has welcomed numerous patients from the Salt Lake community, supporting them in taking an active role in their long-term health. Her approach, which emphasizes lifestyle-based prevention and long-term wellness, has garnered recognition, with her being voted “Best Internal Medicine Doctor” by City Weekly for Best of Utah 2024.
