About Kevin M. Holthaus, MD

I enjoy providing personalized healthcare to my patients by taking the time to fully understand all aspects of their concerns and working together to create the most successful plan to suit their particular condition and circumstances. Giving patients my time and empathy has always been very important in my doctor-patient relationships. By understanding all aspects of my patients’ lives, I am able to provide unique and personalized solutions to their medical conditions, as well as prevent future medical concerns.

I have been a general internist in private practice for many years. Because of my experience as a high school and college athlete; I have always maintained a focus on healthy living, wellness, prevention and physical fitness. The mission of my medical practice is to catch potential medical issues early and treat them with a holistic approach. My interactions with patients often include not just an explanation of treatments and outcomes, but also the contribution of appropriate nutrition, lifestyle adjustments and physical activity. My view of a holistic approach to medical care is to attend to a multisystem appreciation of disease processes and take the same all-encompassing approach to how my patients interact with the world around them. Therefore, when appropriate, I may provide guidance on choosing an activity tracker, insect-proof clothing or avoiding environmentally associated illnesses. My medical experience and training includes not just internal medicine, but also aviation medicine, occupational medicine, physical therapy, infection control, public health, disaster medicine and bioenvironmental medicine. One of the most rewarding aspects of medical practice is to meld medical knowledge and training with extensive varied experiences to explore a patient’s concerns or conditions.

What our members are saying

The first flight physical I had with Dr. Kevin Holthaus in 2003, his office had a picture of 3 males. He asked me, “which of the 3 do you think is my great grandfather?” By luck, I guess correctly! Twenty-one years later that same picture is still in the same place. Great picture and I still get a discount by answering the same question! The BEST AME EVER!!

Dr. Holthaus has done more over the last 9 months to benefit my health than all the Doctors combined in the last 10 years.
He takes a deep dive into health issues and very closely and diligently has tackled them one by one.
He has a fantastic way of explaining complex medical issues and targeting solutions that work.His staff is as diligent as they come.

My wife Hasu and I joined the MDVIP program about three years ago when we moved to Jacksonville Beach. After some research, we selected Dr. Kevin Holthaus as our Primary Care physician. From our very first visit with Doctor Holthaus we were made to feel at home. The staff at the practice are always smiling and very pleasant. Carol has been most helpful in keeping track of our appointments. Avis…

I have been a MDVIP member since Dr. Holthause started the program. He and his staff are fantastic. I can always get my questions/concerns answered. The time the team sends with me on an annual exam basis or just a normal lab visit is exceptional.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Dr. Holthaus. His compassion and dedication to patient care are truly remarkable. From the moment you enter his office, you feel welcomed and valued. Dr. Holthaus takes the time to listen to your concerns, ensuring that you feel heard and understood.

His proactive approach to health issues sets him apart; he doesn't just treat symptoms but focuses on overall wellness and prevention. Whenever I've encountered health concerns, Dr. Holthaus has been incredibly responsive, addressing them promptly and thoroughly. His excellent care and genuine concern for his patients create a comforting and trusting environment. I couldn't ask for a better physician.

He was very unprofessional. We had a 7/17/24, 4:00 p.m. telephone appointment for him to call us. After waiting 1 hr 20 min during which he never called, I tried to call his office to check on the appointment. His office phone went to voicemail and left his cell.
I called his cell. He answered and very rudely told me he was with a patient and that it would be a while longer and hung up on me while I was responding.
Needless to say, we will not be seeking another appointment with him.

I went to Dr. Holthaus with significant discomfort resulting from a respiratory infection. I was very impressed by Dr. Holthaus' staff, from Carol who was able to arrange for a visit on relatively short notice to the nurse who took my vitals and got me in to see Dr. Holthaus and, of course, Dr. Holthaus. All were compassionate and understanding.

Dr. Holthaus was exceptionally thorough and caring and was able to accurately diagnose my problem and provide the treatment I needed. I started improving quickly after getting on the treatment plan Dr. Holthaus prescribed and have improved steadily since.

I would give Dr. Holthaus five stars if he can eliminate the long wait times to see him at appointments. It is disturbing and completely different from my previous experience with our previous MDVIP physician.

Dr. Holthaus is a compassionate and wonderful doctor! Tamika as well as the entire staff, makes me feel like I am their top priority. I am extremely blessed to have Dr. Holthaus as my primary physician. To be treated clinically verses just a number, and according to just blood, is a rarity.

Dr. Holthaus and his PE, Tamika and Carol at their front desk have been like family for me, as I have been a patient for more than 15 years. I have been to many doctors who look at me like a number/$ sign, with an attitude of....Next! It is difficult to find quality care combined with customer service. Dr. H. is very caring and always has time to hear my concerns. Tamika as his assistant makes their team, work! They are all awesome! Not sure what would happen to me without his superior care!! Thank you to their team!!

Dr. H is great! I have been a patient for 30+years and can find no fault with with his care. He is compassionate and thorough. He listens and if he is not sure about a condition, he researches it carefully and thoroughly. His staff is great, and his MA, Tameka, is great about following up, too. She is very knowledgeable.

Doc Holthaus has been my primary and AME doc for well over a decade. Because of the care he gives me, even though I have Tricare standard, which he happily accepts, I chose to stay with him as he ventured into MDVIP.

Our history together, along with his medical expertise, and his love for aviation, and military, not to mention the benefits of MDVIP’s nation wide net, hits all marks of what I look for in health care.

Dr. Holthaus is not just a client-focused professional, his focus is entirely on you. He treats you as he would his family. He’s become a friend in a very short time and in all my years I have not had a PCP with the care, response and focus that he has. I can honestly say this: he’s is the model for all other practitioners to aspire to. (He is also a retired fighter pilot and as an aspiring pilot, I admire his worldliness). I hope I never have to see someone else.

I always receive warm, courteous help from all the staff at North Florida Medical clinic. Dr. Holthaus is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough in his examinations and prescribes common sense solutions as may be needed. Moreover, he backs up all advice with compelling logic and explanations for courses of action. I am in good hands.

I came to Jacksonville in December of 2016 100% terminally ill and in dire need of a life saving liver transplant. I became a patient that month and Dr Holthaus acted as both trusted doctor and advocate for me to get my transplant. He is my most valuable advisor and I am for indebted to him and his team for their unwavering support and treatment during the darkest and scariest time in my life.

I feel that I got the best possible treatment available and owe my life to Doctor Holthaus and his staff of amazing Angels! I might not be alive if Kevin didn’t listen to my concern and speak on my behalf, when I was too sick to do it for myself.
Thank you.

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.
