About Dr. John Crescitelli
I have lived and practiced medicine in this community for my entire 25-year career. I am an MDVIP-affiliated physician who offers personalized, attentive care and has worked and sacrificed to become a bedrock in the cities I serve, including Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Lighthouse Point, Florida, as well as the Coral Springs/Parkland area.
Over my career I have developed relationships with sub specialists, diagnostic centers and skilled nursing facilities, as well as major hospital systems in our area. I take great pride in being a medical doctor and resource who can help address multiple complex medical conditions. These include common issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and lipid disorders - as well as more complex cases, such as musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pulmonary conditions, though this is not a comprehensive list of maladies I'm comfortable -reviewing with patients in my family medicine practice.
I believe in a holistic mind, body and spirit approach to primary care medicine where actively listening to my patients is of paramount importance. Eye contact and compassion are the norm in my office. I have always understood every patient is unique and has a unique set of needs. I support alternative or complementary medicine you use to help as you work to improve your quality of life.
I believe that medication is not always the answer, as I think lifestyle modification and psychological factors are often overlooked. You will not feel rushed with me or my staff. Also, I utilize palpation skills, which I believe is a lost art form in this era of production-based corporate medicine.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.

Reviews from the web
⭐ 1-Star Review
I was a new patient and unfortunately my first experience with Dr. John Crescitelli was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
Dr. Crescitelli was about an hour late to my appointment. The ladies at the front desk were very polite and repeatedly told me that he would be there in “five more minutes,” but those five minutes eventually turned into an hour of sitting and waiting. The only reason I didn’t leave was because the front-desk staff were so kind and genuinely tried their best to keep me comfortable while I waited.
When Dr. Crescitelli finally arrived, he did not come directly into my room, and there was no apology or acknowledgment for keeping me waiting for an hour. What I witnessed when he eventually came in was also extremely unprofessional and left a very poor first impression.
Once the appointment began, I found that he talked excessively and went on and on, making the appointment much longer than necessary. I left feeling that a significant amount of my time had been wasted.
I have seen other reviews saying that Dr. Crescitelli knows his stuff, and perhaps he does. However, knowledge alone does not excuse being consistently late, failing to respect patients’ time, and behaving unprofessionally. A doctor can be knowledgeable and still provide a poor patient experience.
I would much rather spend 10–15 minutes waiting at a doctor’s office where my time is respected than spend $2,300 and have my entire morning consumed by an appointment that starts an hour late.
I also overheard comments from the front-desk staff suggesting that he might be sleeping, which only added to my concerns about the lack of punctuality and organization.
As a new patient, this experience was enough for me to decide that this was not the right doctor or practice for me. I ultimately chose to take my business elsewhere.
If you value punctuality, professionalism, and respect for your time, I personally would not recommend Dr. Crescitelli based on my experience.
I would not recommend Dr. Crescitelli, especially if you value punctuality and respect for your time.
In my experience, appointments were frequently delayed, and there were also last-minute reschedules. Getting an early 9:00 AM appointment was difficult because he was often running behind schedule. I have spent an hour waiting to be seen, only for the appointment to be delayed even further.
When Dr. Crescitelli finally came into the room, he would sometimes spend another 20 minutes talking with his staff before addressing me. Once the appointment actually started, it could last well over an hour, with a significant amount of the conversation focused on topics that were not related to my health or medical concerns.
I understand that medical appointments can sometimes run behind, but the repeated delays, last-minute scheduling changes, and amount of time spent waiting became extremely frustrating. I felt that my time was not being respected.
Because of these experiences, I ultimately decided to leave the practice. If you are someone who has a busy schedule or needs a doctor who is reliable and respectful of your appointment time, I would not recommend this practice based on my experience.
My husband has known and been going to Dr Crescitelli for years, prior to MDVIP and now with MDVIP. I finally decided to follow him and start my health journey with Dr Crescitelli, MDVIP, for my Primary doctor. This has been the BEST decision I have made since saying yes to marry my husband 36 years ago.
The first phone call to the office was excellent with Ryan (spelling) Tammie and Robert running the office, I felt like I found my new home.
The MDVIP experience is like nothing I have ever experienced. First a sit and chat with the doc, which I do warn you Doc loves to explain everything so you can’t be in a hurry. Then I continued to part 1, which involved a bunch of in office testing from eyes, ears, body mass, strength of my goodness I can’t list everything that was done. Onto the COMPLETE blood work up and then part 2 follow up to sit with doc to go over ALL the tests, once again plan on a lengthy visit.
Dr Crescitelli researched and searched to resolve my health issues and I feel great knowing I have this amazing team guiding me towards a healthy future.
In addition, appointments are easily made and the office staff and nurses are extremely friendly and helpful.
The Doctor didn’t show up. Dr Crescitelli called me after I got home. Said he was at the hospital seeing a patient. Giving 1 star because his office staff is nice
Thank you Marissa.
Love you both.

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.
