8-22-26: VIPCARE – Specializing in primary care for seniors

This week on the Rise & Thrive OSJ Radio Show, we’re joined by Dr. Bryan Butel, a board-certified internal medicine physician with VIPCare in Midwest City. Dr. Butel discusses VIPCare’s unique approach to caring for adults 65+.

Instead of the typical 5- to 15-minute visits common at many hospitals and doctors’ offices, VIPCare’s policy is to spend more time with patients.

I went to see Dr. Butel in Midwest City at 1636 Midtown Place in Midwest City. (They have other locations including 1720 NE 23rd, with two more locations opening in Yukon and Norman.) At my very first visit, Dr. Butel spent one hour with me —how refreshing!. I was able to discuss each issue, and Dr. Butel asked me questions. In other words, he actually got to know me and addressed my health issues accordingly.

Dr. Butel takes a holistic, preventive approach along with modern medicine. In other words, he gives you choices and goes over each one in detail. I can’t say enough good things about VIPCare and Dr. Butel.

VIPcare will be our front cover feature story in the next Oklahoma Senior Journal issue on stands at the end of August, running through March 2027. You can learn so much more in their five-page informational article.

Dr. Bryan Butel is a board-certified internal medicine physician who earned his undergraduate degree from Luther College and his medical degree from Des Moines University Osteopathic College of Medicine. He completed his residency at Northeastern Health System (Oklahoma State University) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Dr. Butel emphasizes preventive care, healthy lifestyle choices, and treating the whole person – not just symptoms. He values building lasting relationships and ensuring patients feel informed and comfortable with their care.
