About
Dr. Michael Zang is a board-certified internist with more than 20 years of medical practice experience. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine through the Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital Program in Baltimore, earning his medical degree from the State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook School of Medicine in 1996. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Neurosciences from Oberlin College, where he graduated with honors.
Dr. Zang spent his first three years in practice in a small town in western Maryland, living just a few hundred yards from his office. That experience shaped his belief that patients are people first, not lab values or medication lists. He later practiced for 16 years in Baltimore before joining MDVIP in Catonsville. He serves as an Associate of the American College of Physicians and holds a hospital affiliation with Mercy Medical Center. Outside of medicine, Dr. Zang practices mindfulness daily. His own participation in the MDVIP Wellness Program gave him the confidence, in his 50s, to train for and complete two half-marathons and a full marathon. He holds firmly to the belief that it is never too late to become healthier.
