Edward Kocharian, MD

Meet Edward Kocharian, MD


The practice of good medicine is an art of combining up-to-date and personalized medical care for each patient; therefore, providing security of a trusted partnership based on respect. As your personal doctor, I strive to deliver competent, compassionate and proactive care. I take time to develop close relationships with my patients to make them feel comfortable, earn their trust and assist them with healthcare decisions. While there are standards of care I uphold, there are no uniform formulas for everyone; hence, I approach each patient as an individual and treat them accordingly. As a primary care physician, it is my responsibility to focus on the general well-being of my patients, be it medical or psychological. 

As a board-certified, internal medicine doctor, I am interested in the prevention and treatment of many health conditions, including cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension, nutrition, kidney and lung disease, and emotional health. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. 

During my 26 years in practice, I have been involved in outpatient and inpatient aspects of patient care. I have privileges at Scripps La Jolla Memorial Hospital and will continue to manage the care of my patients if they are admitted. 

My personalized healthcare practice currently serves San Diego, Sorrento Valley, La Jolla and Del Mar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

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.

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.

Both my wife and I have had some serious issues which caused us to be in the hospital emergency room at separate times. When we notified Dr. Edward Kocharian not only was he directly in communication with the emergency room staff, but he actually came to the hospital to ensure all was going as it should.

Care and medicine

from robin in CA • February 10, 2024
I love my MDVIP Dr Kocharian. I can access a same-day appointment so I can be treated the same day I become ill. The doctor has time and focus to listen to all my symptoms allowing him to understand what symptoms are related, and what things might be a trend or a warning. Additionally, appointments have time for an exam to feel my lymph nodes, see if I'm sweating and how tired I might be Read more...
