Meet Deborah Cherry, MD


My passion as an internal medicine physician is to provide you with personalized healthcare with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. Americans are living longer and need to maintain good health to stay active into their “golden years”. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my education, expertise, compassion and understanding. I will have more time to develop closer relationships with my patients, perform comprehensive exams and set wellness goals. My focus will be on you how we can help make a happy, healthy future your reality.

I have been practicing internal medicine in the San Luis Obispo community for over 30 years and am well versed in treating complex medical conditions, have built relationships with specialists and have extensive knowledge of our community's resources. My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. In addition, there are conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments and the ability to reach me via cell phone.

I thoroughly enjoy the practice of medicine and the relationships I have established with my patients. Outside of medicine, I am an avid tennis player, enjoy hiking with my golden doodle “Lexi” and participating in water sports, such as kayaking in our nearby lakes and ocean. Traveling is another passion of mine.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Deborah Cherry, MD

Dr. Cherry is the BEST!

from Rhonda in CA • April 4, 2024
I met Dr Cherry in the early 90’s and like her right away because she was caring but most importantly she listened to my ideas about what I wanted to do with my body regarding medications. My only concern was more for her than myself and that was she was having to spend so little time with each patience in order to see all that needed her. I’m very pleased with MDVIP because now she can take her Read more...
