About Michelle Cao, MD
I practice as a team with Dr. LaDocia Schuetz, and we work together to provide you excellent care. I became a physician because I wanted to improve the health and well-being of others and appreciate the challenge of the profession. I believe in the importance of primary care and family medicine in providing comprehensive care. Too often, we neglect the whole person. I emphasize collaboration with patients and their families in improving overall health. With my added training in obesity medicine, I understand the importance of both physical and mental well-being as well as nutrition and physical activity. In my free time, I enjoy exploring San Diego and karaoke.

I cannot express how fortunate I am to have Dr. Michelle Cao as my PCP. She is informeda fabulous empathic listenerproactive in my healthcare and individualizes my medical carewhich according to a recent article I read on modern medicine directing care to a one-size-fits-all modelwhich DOES NOT WORK, btw. Dr. Cao is an outlier in this respect. She applies all of her studied research and medical practice experience to individualize care for her patients. To great success, I might add. I worry each time I think I might lose her if I move overseas. In my 70 years she stands high above all the rest.
