Dr. Leichtling

Meet David Leichtling, MD


When I was a teenager, my mother's personal physician inspired me to become a family doctor. Into his 80s, he continued to give her unhurried, same-day appointments and personalized care. I am thrilled about my MDVIP affiliation and reduced practice size because I can offer a similar kind of personalized experience from which I believe my mother benefited.

Along with tools and resources as part of my affiliation with  MDVIP, I have more time to discuss your health concerns and help you as you work toward improving your health and health span (a concept referring to the number of healthier, disease-free years of life you could experience). I hope that as we move forward, you can feel younger and healthier as you pursue improved energy and well-being. 

The advanced diagnostics in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program include unique inflammation testing developed with Cleveland HeartLab, which can provide additional insight into cardiovascular risk markers beyond cholesterol testing alone. The Program also includes screenings for diabetes, bone health, fitness, sleep, emotional well-being and more. These assessments have been shown to help identify certain risk factors.

The Wellness Program services include a lengthy yearly meeting where you and I will review your test results and form a personalized holistic plan for you to work toward, optimizing nutrition, exercise and, when needed, medications, supplements or nutraceuticals. My goal is to help you try to prevent or better control conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity and fatty liver disease while strengthening muscles and mobility. I want to help you chart your healthier and happier path to wellness. 

I have been practicing medicine for more than 35 years, starting at Patuxent Medical Group in Columbia, Maryland, and continuing in 2004 as it became my current Columbia Medical Practice. My MDVIP-affiliated practice is in the same location, and I remain affiliated with Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center and The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

I welcome you to join me in a more personalized primary care practice. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. Additionally, a variety of resources are offered year-round through the MDVIP member portal. With these tools, plus the longer conversations we can have during office visits, I hope to earn your confidence in my care for many years to come.

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.

Dr. Leichtling is an excellent doctor. He is thorough and he has spotted some issues in my health that other doctors didn't see. His recommendations and treatment have been excellent. He is very professional and personable; in short, he's great.

I saw 5 stars ratings, I said let me give it a shot. The person on the phone was cold rude. One representative said there is availability for next day another one came and said it takes a month.
Both of the wore cold and rude.

I have been a patient of Dr. Leichtling for around 30 years. I have complete and total trust in him for all my medical needs. In fact, when he moved to MDVIP, he's the reason I signed up. He is a great physician and stays up-to-date with new medicine, etc. He is friendly, professional, and takes the time to listen and then provides a way forward for treatment. I feel he genuinely cares about my health and well being.

Dr. Leichtling has been my PCP for a very long time. He has always been very understanding, non-judgemental, and helpful. I am always comfortable with our conversations and interactions. I have referred him to other family members. His demeaner and compassion for his patients is immeasurable. He's great and I am happy to have him overseeing my health care.

1. I had a couple of trouble health conditions and Dr. Leichtling immediately came to my rescue
2. My medications are very carefully chosen and they are helping me a lot
3.Dr. Leichtling always care about the side effects of the medication. He always explains how much trouble the new drags may bring to other organs .
Dr. Leichtling starts with a small dosage of the drag, to see the aftermath.
4.!’Dr. Leichtling always is ready for the next appointment. He already knows the test results of the tests he ordered and always asks about the effects of the new medication and the cituation in using the old one

Dr. Leichtling is a great physician who takes extraordinary care of me. His conversational manner is such that I can easily follow along as he details my medical issues and the path forward. He prescribes medications and details symptoms treated and side effects, and also is knowledgeable of natural remedies that makes my conditions more manageable.

I have been a patient with the Columbia Medical Plan from pediatrics from 14yrs old to now at 63. I have been a patient of Dr. David Leichtling since about 22 yrs of age. I have received very good medical care from Dr. Leichtling, he has shown to be very conscientious about the care he provides his patients not just to me but to several other patients that I have known who comes to CMP. To me a top knotch Family Physician amongst others at CMP.

I have been seeing Dr. Leichtling for about a year now. He is thorough, kind, knowlegable and never makes me feel rushed. He listens attentively to all my questions and concerns. He explains things in detail when I have questions. He makes great suggestions to help me stay motivated in meeting my goals with my healthcare and with improving my "numbers." Dr. Leichtling is great with statistics regarding the specific benefits with improved bloodwork numbers. When I had to call his staff for an order for bloodwork that I couldn't find, his staff (Diamond) was very pleasant and immediately sent the order over to the lab. When I leave his office, my questions are completely answered. The first MDVIP physician I saw prior to Dr. Leichtling has retired but was excellent, also. Both he and Dr. Leichtling really opened my eyes to how healthcare should be instead of health insurances dictating the patient's care plan and being a "numbers game," pushing people through and not dealing with the entire picture. I know firsthand, how my health has improved since being with MDVIP the last few years.
