About 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.

We love having a physician that is always available when we most need him. Whether we email him through our MDVIP Portal, text him by phone, or call his office or his phone the promptness to answer or return our calls is quick. It is refreshing to have a doctor who stays on the cutting edge of medical research and then therefore able to give us the best and most current care. We do feel Dr Emhof…

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. This was so before 2020, and even more so now, with the exposure of the Medical/Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex as a business model instead of a place to go for true health CARE. My personal trust in Dr. Emhof, which he had already earned before the advent of C-19 for helping me to achieve some…

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!

I had the ‘incredible’ opportunity to shadow Dr Emhoff of couple years ago and was amazed with his knowledge and care for his patients! I learned a lot in a short period of time! He is a top notch Doctor, the best in Tallahassee! One that I trust and look up to! Thank you Dr. Emhoff for taking the time for me during an already busy schedule!

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!

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. Emhof is the best personal physician i have had in my 80 years of life. He has paid very close attention to keeping me well. His bedside manner is TERRIFIC. He is smart, listens, is easy to reach and takes very good care of us. He is the reason we are with MDVIP not the other way around.

Dr. Emhof is always prompt in answering phone calls when I have medical questions or concern. His bedside manner is stellar and truly cares for you as a patient . Dr. Emhof takes care of the "whole person"(root cause}and doesn't just treat your present issue. He also has knowledgeable and attentive staff which makes s a huge difference how you feel when you visit. They feel like family!!!

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.

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.

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 care! Dr. Emhof is wonderful. He listens to you and really hears you. He is funny and easy going and at the same time very professional. I feel safe in his hands. The office staff is friendly and always helpful. If you want a doctor who truly wants to help you live a better and healthier life Dr. Emhof is your guy!

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.
