About Jared Lechtenstein, DO, FACC
As your personal physician, my goal is to deliver compassionate, personalized care that focuses on wellness, prevention and your long-term health goals. I believe that medicine works best when patients feel heard and understood. Over the years, I've developed lasting relationships with individuals and families by practicing medicine with the same care and attentiveness I would want for my own family. My philosophy is grounded in partnering with you not only in illness but also in helping you work to prevent it. I aim to educate you and help you feel empowered to thrive.
My practice emphasizes primary care, cardiovascular care, chronic conditions, disease prevention and care for adults of all ages. I have special interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and lifestyle-based care, including exercise and nutrition counseling. I aim to simplify the complexity of modern medicine by discussing actionable guidance tailored to your life. Whether we're navigating a new diagnosis, a chronic condition or your wellness plan, I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The annual MDVIP Wellness Program includes advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that can be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed. I also offer same- or next-day appointments.
I currently see patients in Plantation, Florida, and my staff is fluent in English and Spanish. I welcome individuals and families from all walks of life. I am passionate about creating a supportive, unhurried environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, setting goals and taking control of your health.
Let's work together to build a strong, trusting relationship focused on your long-term wellness so you can pursue enjoying a healthier, more vibrant life.

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.
