About David Zekser, MD
I have been practicing medicine for 20 years and since my earliest years in the medical field, I have remained focused on making and keeping my patients as healthy and happy as I can. I work closely with all of my patients to integrate them as active participants in their own health and well-being. I incorporate healthy eating habits, physical activity, and lifestyle choices that can help achieve similar or even better outcomes than those that rely on medication alone. This is a patient-based approach in which I tailor my recommendations to each patient's age, mobility, work schedule and family and social responsibilities.
I have worked in and for major hospitals in New York such as Mount Sinai, Beth Israel, New York Presbyterian, St. Luke's and Columbia as well as being a partner in a private practice. In 2008, I moved from New York City to Florida and worked at Holy Cross Hospital and Memorial Hospital before deciding to pursue my long-term goal of owning my own primary care medical practice. In addition to running my medical practice, I created a successful weight loss program from the ground up and now frequently assist patients to achieve their weight loss goals.
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I specialize in internal medicine and work with patients to better manage their health conditions and concerns including everything from Alzheimer's to Zoster. I treat acute (new) conditions, such as rashes, infections, sports and physical injuries and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as chronic (longer term) conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, HIV, dementia, depression and anxiety. My approach in general is one of inclusion. I stay in close contact with specialists and patients to assist with the coordination of medical care.

What our members are saying
Before I met Dr. Zekser my doctor was Joel Silverman. I thought the world of him and couldn’t imagine a better doctor than him. Unfortunately for him, he had cancer and decided to enjoy the rest of his life spending time with family. I hear his is in total remission and I’m glad for that. Fortunately for me and I’m sure for many patients Dr. Zekser acquired Dr. Silverman’s practice and is now my…

Dr.Zekser shared his passed experience working with hospitals and how he realized how much he loved working with MDVIP. Knowing that he loves his working with his patients at MDVIP gives me great confidence in how much he cares for us and does the best he can for our wellbeing.
March 11, 2024
When I was hospitalized after delivering my first baby, Dr. Zekser was there for me every step of the way. By phone, text, and last minute appointments when I was released, he liased with the hospital doctors, assumed management of my care when I was released, and followed up diligently to make sure I understood our plan of care. I continue to feel like I am in the best possible hands, and Dr.…

Dr David Zekser is a caring and excellent doctor. He takes as much time as a patient requires in order to determine the causes for the visit. I would say that Dr Zekser is conservative in his approach to diagnosing; not rushing into medication and tests until he has a good knowledge or theory of the causes. Dr Zekser is also very friendly and easy to talk to and doesn’t rush the appointment; his office is nicely appointed and welcoming. I would easily recommend Dr Zekser to my friends, family and acquaintances.

Dr. Zekser is an excellent, caring diagnostician who takes time to understand his patient holistically and offers appropriate care in all circumstances. He is not only an excellent doctor, he is a caring individual with a great bedside manner. He is always available and never makes me feel rushed during my visits. His office promptly takes my calls and has excellent follow-up.

Dr. Zekser became my doctor retired because of his health care. Recently I had back pain that I could barely stand. He had my husband bring me in right away. He treated ms best he could while not being a pan management doctor. He called every day himself on the weekend and had his saff call early before office hours to see how I was doing. He called the spin specialist I had gone to three ago to get e quicker appointment. He then continued to prescribe pain medication. He has always taken time with me even if my appointment is for something fairly simple.

I have been a patient of Dr. Zekser for approximately 3 years(my previous doctor retired due to health problems) and I have found him to be knowledgeable and accessible and responsive whether I meet with him in person or text a question via the website. He spends alot of time with me in person, listens to what I have to say, offers suggestions and has made great referrals when I have needed a specialist. As a Senior it is important to me to have immediate access to him—no concerns that I might not get in for days or weeks. Dr. Zekser has given me peace of mind with regard to my healthcare.

Doctor Zekser is the absolute best! He is kind, compassionate and understanding in addition to being a talented doctor and diagnostician. He treats the entire patient, not just the body parts, and he is very helpful with working on preventative measures with you such as weight loss, eating habits, and exercise. He takes time to talk with you during your appointment, and he shows genuine concern for your issues. I feel extremely fortunate to have him as a doctor.

Dr. Zekser is a wonderful doctor. Very caring and compassionate. He takes his time to explain everything throughly and asks questions. I am very comfortable with his medical knowledge and I know I am in good hands. His office staff are very kind and helpful. I love that when I call....I can speak with a human being and not press buttons or leave a message. I would highly recommend Dr. Zekser.

Dr. Zekser is quite simply the best doctor I have ever had. He is caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable. I never felt as though he had one foot out the door. He takes as much time as necessary to listen, evaluate, and offer treatment solutions. One couldn’t ask for a better doctor. He was my doctor when he was at both at Holy Cross in Fort Lauderdale and Memorial in Hollywood. When he moved to Boca Raton, I followed him without question or hesitation and would enthusiastically recommend him to my friends and family when they are looking for a doctor. He is that good.

My original physician retired and Dr. Zekser replaced him. There has been a seemless transition. Dr. Zekser is fully aware of my medical history and just completed my annual physical. He took the time to explain all of the findings and made adjustments to my continued treatment.

One could not find a more "Patient Centric" doctor! His focus is unequivocally on "you". You hear and see his care in his voice and his demeanor. If one desires honest, caring, sincere and effective medical care and support, one could not find a better doctor/human being than Doctor Zekser. It is clear he stays current on the latest medical advances and treatments and provides incredibly clear explanations of your condition and appropriate treatments. He cares and it shows. He is unquestionably an asset to MDVIP and his patients!

Dr. Zekser took over the practice of our previous MDVIP. He listens intently, is thorough, and never rushes you. We are so happy we stayed with the practice.
The above comment was written 3 years ago. I want to add that I do not know what my husband and I would do if we didn't have Dr. Zekser as our physician. He is our 3rd MDVIP (previous 2 retired) and he is by far the best yet !!!!!!

Dr. Zekser is an amazing doctor that cares about his patients. Always addressed any concerns that I had and had suggestions. His follow-up is excellent as well. I was very sad when he moved his practice from Ft. Lauderdale. I was his patient for close to eight years. He's just too far for me now. Haven't been able to find a general doctor that is as good.

I want to be share feedback with you about Dr. Zekser. I just got receive a message from Dr. Zekser through Portal today. He sounds alike does not want to see me anymore due he does not feel comfortable being patience with me through emails. I am disappointed to hear about his response. I have to look and find a good, friendly and patient doctor who can take care of my health problems. It is not too easy for me find a good doctor around here in South Florida after the first 2 doctors include Dr. Zekser already turned me down. I thought he sounds alike a nice and care doctor treat me very well since when I did see him in person for my appointments a few times since October 2020 but now today he sounds alike does not want to see me anymore. :-(. MHS, I hope you did receive a copy his message that I did forward it through FB messenger. Please let me know what you do think. Thanks.

After several phone calls to Dr. Zekser's "central scheduling" and getting a complete run around, my Ophthalmologist faxed the necessary pre-op clearing request to Dr. Zekser's office. Dr. Z's was supposed to call to schedule the appointment. Never did! Ophthalmologist office had to call to set this up - 30 minutes on the phone. Scheduled a "virtual appointment" for Monday. Downloaded all the needed software, created the account. Then I get a call from Dr. Zekser's office saying they only do "virtual appointments", I can not come in for the needed exam. Why was this info not advised before I went through all the steps? Useless! All I went through is now wasted time. Would never recommend anyone dealing with having to jump through hoops and in the end, ending up empty handed!

Doctor David Zekser is the Best Doctor for not only in Florida, but in the whole USA, and now since he left his practice with the Holy Cross I feel so bad, like an orphan ... (we used to live in LA , NJ, NYC ...)
And now I could not found any one who will able to help me with my health problem the way my dearest David Zekser did .
We were his patients for more than decade and very fortunate -- he was
very professional, very knowledgeable, too attentive, too kind, too tolerant, with personal individual touch (and the same to my husband) He was a Real Doctor, always willing to help with positive result , always made us very happy, it was just a pure pleasure to see him, he was not only as a great physician , he was like a magician for our well being.
There are not easy for me to found the words how much we
appreciate doctor David Zekser for what he had done for us.
And we do everything what is possible to see him again, even he had moved to another city and other changes.
With deepest respect and Best Wishes.

Dr Zekser is probably the most caring and dedicated Dr I have known, I have read a few reviews and comments recently and decided to write this one, he is always busy -- that should not be the reason to put a bad comments, because he is very good at what he does and cares a lots about his patients, he has been taking good care of one of my friend, and his refer to another specialist Dr. at Holy Cross Hospital -- she is also a wonderful Dr. too, can't Thank him enough

You wait for hours before ever seeing the doctor, not everyone has that much time to sit any wait to been since. The waiting never has people waiting and if you have appointment you’ll be pushed back for someone else! Been seeing Dr. Zesker for almost year now and it’s a never ending battle to see him

Dr. David Zekser was my mother's primary care doctor during the last months of her life. I feel obliged to express my deep gratitude for the professional and human attention that he rendered to my mother at all times. In a short time it was possible to confirm his great medical knowledge as well as his human and compassionate quality. His moral support has been invaluable to me and my family. Dr. Zekser and his entire team are shining examples of excellence in healthcare, and I can not find the proper words to recommend them enough.

El doctor Zekser y todo su equipo dieron muestra de ser un ejemplo brillante de excelencia en la prestación de servicios de salud. No me alcanzan las palabras para reomoendarlos suficientemente.

Today was our first appointment. Dr. Zekser took plenty of time and listened to us so as to plan how we are to be treated. Our first impression is that he’s very conscience and concerned for his patients.
Unfortunately he gave up his practice with no notice. We called for an appointment only to find that he had left. Suddenly we were without a doctor.

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.
