Vivek Cherian, MD.
Welcome!
My name is Dr. Vivek Cherian
🔊 (Viv-ache Chair-e-n), aka Dr. VC. I’m an Internal Medicine physician dedicated to transforming personal and family wellness. I focus on empowering the public by educating you about preventative medicine and how leading-edge technology can improve your long-term health.
I am passionate about providing well-researched, factual information to you to help you sort through the noise and learn how the world of medicine affects your daily life. In nearly a decade as an Internal Medicine physician, I have seen countless patients with medical conditions that are completely preventable with better education and know-how. When we (medical professionals) can provide our patients with quality information on how to better care for themselves, everybody wins!
As a father and husband, I understand the importance of keeping my whole family healthy and want to help you do the same!
"The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself... "

What is an Internal Medicine physician?
“Internal Medicine physicians, or internists, are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness. They are especially well trained in the diagnosis of puzzling medical problems, in the ongoing care of chronic illnesses, and in caring for patients with more than one disease.”
— American College of Physicians
Avoid preventable medical issues and frequent hospital visits.
