Dr. Jonathan E. McGhee, MD

EssentialMD

EssentialMD is a PRIMARY CARE practice that is the solution for all your primary care health and wellness needs.  It was founded by Dr. Jonathan McGhee, M.D. in August of 2018.  Dr. McGhee is a 2007 graduate of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.  He completed a Family Medicine residency training at the University of Oklahoma at Tulsa in June 2010.  He then completed a fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine in June 2011.  While a young physician, he spent countless hours moonlighting as a hospitalist and emergency room physician, gaining extra expertise in caring for sick people.  He desires to prevent illness and maintain health. His personal goal is to keep his patients out of the hospital, as much as their bodies will allow it.

Dr. McGhee is married to his college sweetheart, Cindy McGhee.  They have been blessed with two children: a son – Jonathan Jr and a daughter – Jaden.  In his spare time, you can often find Dr. McGhee spending time with his family, traveling, or playing basketball.

Founding Story

Prior to founding EssentialMD, Dr. McGhee had been an employed physician since completing his residency and fellowship in 2011. He had a large family medicine panel that was challenging to manage due to the amount of care he wanted to give to each individual patient. Dr. McGhee is known for his compassion, laughter, and excellent care of his patients.  Because compassion and humanity are not so common, EssentialMD was created in August, 2018 to proudly serve people in the metropolitan Tulsa area.

Founding Philosophy

The way healthcare is delivered has shifted away from a patient-focus and EssentialMD is here to restore a right relationship between people and their doctor. Dr. McGhee knows it is time to make caring for people more personalized, consistent, and thereby more affordable.
