Best Care Family Wellness Centers Leesburg

The practice has operated for more than ten years and describes itself as a family medicine and wellness practice. It has seven Florida locations in Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Belle Glade, Lakeland, Auburndale, Immokalee and Leesburg, and it serves patients in Lee, Collier, Palm Beach, Polk and Lake Counties. Patients of all ages are seen, from children and teens to adults and seniors, and the medical staff can speak English, Spanish, French and Creole. The practice says it aims to treat every patient like family.

Core primary care covers annual physicals, wellness visits and preventive screenings, along with sick visits for colds, flu, infections and minor illnesses. Management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, high cholesterol and thyroid disorders is part of the work, as are men's and women's health, pediatric care, immunizations, weight management support, lab testing and specialist referrals. Work, school and sports physicals are offered for patients of all ages, and minor emergencies and urgent medical needs are handled as well. Telemedical consultations are available to patients across Florida. Medical house calls may be possible on a routine basis for bedbound patients, and home health nursing can be ordered when the doctor judges it necessary.

Alongside traditional family medicine, the practice offers alternative options, including natural, plant-based therapies for anxiety, chronic pain and other conditions. Functional and integrative medicine visits can include health assessments, specialized lab testing, hormone and metabolic evaluations, gut health analysis and nutritional deficiency screening. Plans may add personalized supplements, lifestyle and nutrition guidance, and targeted medical therapies when appropriate. Anti-aging and longevity therapy includes peptide therapy and natural compounded formulations prescribed under physician supervision, which the practice says are tailored to each patient's lab results, symptoms and goals.

Weight loss care is medically supervised and may use GLP-1 medications, starting with an initial medical evaluation and a personal plan. Plans may include nutritional guidance, lifestyle counseling and ongoing monitoring with follow-up visits. Addiction care includes medically supervised Suboxone therapy for opioid addiction, along with substance abuse treatment and counseling. Outpatient psychiatric medication management and mental health counseling are offered, as is management and treatment of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

BioTE hormone therapy, a bioidentical hormone replacement option for men and women, begins with a consultation and lab testing, followed by a customized treatment plan. Subcutaneous pellets are placed during an office visit; according to the practice, they last about three to six months and are reinserted two to four times a year. BioTE therapy is offered at the Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Immokalee and Belle Glade locations. New hormone therapy patients need fasting lab results no older than six months, or they can have bloodwork drawn at the initial consultation. The practice describes itself as a BioTE Certified Provider. To schedule a BioTE consultation, a house call or another service not listed, call (239) 332-0407.

Hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm, Saturday by appointment, and closed Sunday. Walk-ins are accepted at all locations, and calling ahead is recommended for specific questions or needs. Bring a valid state ID or driver's license, insurance cards, current medications and medical records if you have them. Medicare patients should bring their updated Medicare ID card even if Medicare is not their primary insurance. Arrive a few minutes early to complete forms, and alert the front desk if you have waited more than 10 minutes after signing in. Records can be requested from other providers when needed.

Insurance accepted includes Medicare, Medicaid, Florida Marketplace plans, Molina, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Oscar, Humana PPO, Simply Healthcare and Tricare, among others. Patients whose insurance requires a primary care change should change to Dr. Emlyn Louis before their appointment. Uninsured patients can pay self-pay fees, which the practice describes as affordable, or join the Best Care Yearly Plan. That plan is a prepaid self-pay membership, not health insurance, valid for one calendar year. At $599 for the year, it includes one new patient visit, three follow-up visits, one annual routine physical, one order of routine lab testing and one additional service as needed. Free transportation is offered to elderly Medicare patients.

Pairs traditional family medicine with alternative options, including BioTE hormone therapy and natural, plant-based therapies, and describes its care as adaptive.
