Dr. Emhof

Meet Leslie S. Emhof, MD


I believe that practicing medicine is an art. A physician's knowledge, prior experience, insight and technical ability all come together when evaluating and treating patients. As a physician, I believe these concepts are very important.
  • Partnership between physician and patient is critical to developing unique approaches customized to your individual needs and preferences. This requires the patient to be forthright with what is going on in his/her life and the physician to listen carefully to the details.
  • I work with you to guide your path to better health as you make choices about your health habits and behaviors.
  • Self-care is often more important than physician prescribed treatments.
  • In addition to diagnosing and treating, my job is to educate, coach and support.
I don’t just believe in wellness, I try to live it personally and professionally and stay informed of the latest developments in medicine and wellness. I’m not just a physician, I’m a health coach. Become an informed participant in your own health care. This involves more than improving your diet or beginning a long overdue exercise program. It involves partnering with your physician to understand what you – and your own unique body – need to sustain a full and rewarding 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.

Office staff is great. I did not connect well with Dr. Emhof. I experienced him as a bit arrogant and a poor listener. I expected better follow-up and communication on my questions.

Dr Leslie Emhof and staff are extremely responsive through the MDVIP system. Communications are very effective and thats what I like most about this setup. I can send a message and get prescriptions very quickly. Further, Dr Emhof has great expertise in wellness/diet/supplements. His recommendations have taken me off some cholesterol pharmeceuticals and encouraged me to use supplements. I am so much healthier now than before I enrolled in MDVIP five years ago. I give them my highest recommendation!

It is a rare blessing to actually enjoy seeing your doctor and his staff along with knowing they sincerely care about your health.

Me and my family had been seeing him since the early 90s (he's practically seen me grown up) deep caring for his patients, listens to your concerns and gladly explains things. Not just a throw pills at you for the pain, but wants to get to the bottom of what's causing symptoms.

If you are looking for a doctor who is not part of the Medical/Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex as a business model but someone interested in true health care (as opposed to disease management), i highly recommend Dr. Emhof. He listens, cares, and works with every patient "team-style" to set and achieve the best health goals!

I've known my doctor for many years as both a patient and a friend. I'm confident that, when he tells me something, he's "got my back". He practices what he preaches, but doesn't get "preachy" about it. Several years ago, he discovered a problem that I didn't know I had--and pointed me in the right direction to resolve it. Who knows? Maybe that's at least part of the reason I'm still here!?

Excellent doctor. Takes all the time necessary. Personable and caring. iOur only complaint is his antithesis to the COVID vaccines and mask wearing. We wear them anyway, and we received all our shots at a local pharmacy. This is a difficulty because we can't consult him about the vaccines; we follow the CDC guidelines on them.

from Jerry in FL • February 21, 2024
I believe I was led by the Lord to select Dr. Les Emhof as my physician. Since being under his care, my quality of life has improved tremendously. My prior physician had little time for me and actually did not really listen to my concerns. Dr. Emhof's care is allowing me to experience a much improved quality of life thereby providing an outlook of hope.

Trust is the main component of any relationship between a provider and a client/customer/patient.

from Virginia in FL • February 10, 2024
My doctor is available to me almost 24 hrs a day. I can text him when very sick or just a concern I put on the MDVIP WEBSITE.
His answer comes in within the hour!!!
My friends wait days or never for an answer to any questions.
He listens when I disagree or want to discuss options and we meet in the middle.
He is the best!!!
