Meet Brent A. Jacobus, DO, FACOFP


“Prevention is better than cure.” Desiderius Erasmus   

Being a physician has been my life-long passion! There is nothing else in life that I have wanted to do. For close to 30 years I have enjoyed caring for my patients as my extended family. My goal is to provide quality care to each one of my patients. Our personalized family medicine practice will work with you to create an individualized wellness plan that will help address your physical and emotional health. You will receive a unique, personalized plan of care.   

In today's complex medical environment, it is important for you to have a primary care physician who has the time and tools to put you and your health first. That is what you will find at our Crown Point, Indiana location. You will feel welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you'll receive from everyone in our office. We provide a friendly, compassionate environment and are dedicated to making your visit efficient and memorable. Our team is waiting to serve you!  

As an MDVIP patient, you will receive a yearly extensive wellness exam that includes state of the art lab testing sanctioned by the renowned Cleveland HeartLab. We will use this exam as a starting point to begin your individualized wellness plan and help you stay on the path to healthy living.   

My partner, Dr. Brett Brechner, and I understand and recognize the need for proactive, preventive care in thwarting disease and illness. Our passion continues to be patient care and providing clinical knowledge in a compassionate and friendly environment. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

Aside from the practice of medicine, my devotion is to my faith, family and friends.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Brent A. Jacobus, DO, FACOFP

Makes you feel like family

from Amy in IN • March 10, 2020
I absolutely love how Dr. Jacobus and his team make my family and I feel like apart of their family. In my past experiences some doctors wouldn't even take the time to actually listen. They do listen and you can tell they truly care.

Emergency Toothache!

from Megan in IN • March 10, 2020
11 days ago I woke up with an infected tooth! As I have 2 joint replacements it was a risk to wait 4 days to see my dentist as he was unavailable! I knew I needed antibiotics and even though Dr Jacobus was on vacation he still took the time to call me in the medicine I needed! My tooth was saved and the pain was gone by the time I could see my dentist! He is always there for me but this Read more...

Dr. Is the most concerned, attentive physician I’ve ever had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I trust him and that is very important to me.

from Frankie • February 12, 2020
I am a very healthy person considering my age. I have needed Dr. Jacobus only one time in the past 6 months. He was there to help me when I called. I didnt have to go to the ER, which made me very happy. We discussed my problem and he diagnosed it and called a prescription to CVS. I trust him and that is very important to me. He listens to what I have to say and gives me his thoughts on the Read more...
