BOCA RATON, Fla. – September 29, 2025 – MDVIP reflects on the legacy of one of its founders, Steven Geller, who helped launch a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery that continues to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients nationwide. Geller passed away on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
 
Since its founding in 2000, MDVIP has transformed the doctor-patient relationship, pioneering a model that allows physicians to provide proactive, prevention-focused care while giving patients more time and personalized attention from their doctors.
 
Mr. Geller, alongside the late Dr. Edward Goldman, envisioned and brought to life this innovative approach to primary care. As MDVIP’s first chairman until 2008, Mr. Geller established the strategic foundation that positioned the company to become the undisputed leader in membership-based medicine, with more than 1,400 MDVIP-affiliated physicians now serving communities across the U.S.
 
“The model Steve helped create 25 years ago has touched countless lives, giving patients more time with their doctor, proactive care to help prevent disease, and peace of mind that comes with truly personalized medicine,” said MDVIP Chairman and CEO Larry Kutscher. “His vision didn’t just build a company—it sparked a healthcare revolution that continues to expand and evolve. We extend our deepest condolences to Steve’s family while remembering his enduring impact on our company and the healthcare industry.”
 
“Steve’s influence has enabled many physicians to practice medicine in a way they never thought possible,” said Dr. Andrea Klemes, Chief Medical Officer at MDVIP. “What began as an innovative partnership between Steve and the founding physicians has fundamentally changed how both patients and doctors experience healthcare, leading to higher satisfaction and measurably better outcomes.”
 
Mr. Geller’s visionary thinking and entrepreneurial spirit remain at the heart of MDVIP’s mission and purpose of transforming lives, one relationship at a time.
