Dr. Lafleur

Meet Edward C. Lafleur, MD


My philosophy in caring for my patients is centered on identifying the underlying source of their medical problems and working in partnership with them towards true solutions, which is nearly always attainable through nutrition and fitness based recommendations. I have learned that the keys to success involve empowering patients with knowledge, then working together toward goals of vitality and true wellness. Furthermore, I lead by example, doing my best to eat cleanly, exercise regularly, and maintain an ideal body weight year round.

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.

I am deeply grateful for the care, expertise, and dedication of Dr. Edward Lafleur for helping me to live my best life possible. His dedication to diet and the importance of having a healthy gut solved many issues that I had in the past. He also emphasized the importance of daily exercise to support muscle and bone health as I age.

Dr. Ed Lafleur is my family physician and a friend. He takes more time listening rather than talking. He is easy to talk to. His approach to the health of his patients is conservative with consoling like, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." (Hippocrates). He always wears a smile. He truly cares about and for his patients.

I was referred to Dr Lafleur a little over a year ago while looking for a Dr who could help me improve my health while doing a low carbohydrate high fat eating lifestyle. Since our initial meeting I have been VERY pleased with him. I have learned so much on this journey so far and my health is greatly improved. I have lost 40 lbs and my blood pressure and blood work looks good. With all of the information and dis-information out there it is good and important to find someone that can help you achieve your goals and practice preventative health care as opposed to reactive health care.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. LaFleur. From his incredibly positive, relaxed demeanor to his thorough explanations, I cannot say enough positive about him. He found out I enjoyed taking my son hunting and the next year, texted me a picture of he and his daughter, while they were hunting! This is the way medicine should work!

I was a patient of Dr. Lafleur before he joined the VIPMD, left him for 4 years once he joined MDVIP, and so pleased to have connected back with Dr. Lafleur. He is so compassionate about medicine and specifically about my well being.
I must share this story; I had been struggling with internal stomach issues for 8 months. After several months visiting my local gastro physician, then with three procedures with no results and still struggling.
I was then referred to Ochsners hospital for help. Two procedure and no results.
My FIRST visit with Dr. Lafleur he identified my issue! I have been pain free and enjoying my life.
Best decision I've ever made going back with Dr. Lafleur. Well worth the added expense.
