Mark Leeds, D.O. is an osteopathic physician with over 25 years of experience in addiction medicine and family practice. He graduated from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1996 and completed his residency in Family Medicine at Westchester General Hospital. He is affiliated with Florida Medical Center and is accepting new patients.

His concierge telemedicine practice in Fort Lauderdale focuses on patients who have been underserved by traditional healthcare models—those physically dependent on prescribed medications who need a physician who understands the critical distinction between physical dependence and addiction. Dr. Leeds is one of the few physicians in South Florida who provides concierge benzodiazepine tapering and withdrawal services.

Dr. Leeds serves on the medical advisory board for the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition and has helped hundreds of patients safely taper from benzodiazepines, opioids, and psychiatric medications. He is also the host of The Rehab Podcast on the Mental Health News Radio Network, where he interviews experts including best-selling authors and filmmakers working in the addiction and recovery space. His approach prioritizes patient comfort, safety, and autonomy, often extending treatment over several weeks or months depending on the medication and history of use.

Recovery under Dr. Leeds goes beyond detox. The practice emphasizes continuity of care, encouraging patients to maintain close communication during all stages of recovery. Dr. Leeds helps coordinate care with therapists, psychiatrists, and community support groups when needed. The program combines gradual tapering schedules, regular medical check-ins, and supportive therapy referrals.
