Dr. Brechner

Meet Brett A. Brechner, DO

The focus of my family medicine practice is you and your future health. I want to provide you with personalized healthcare in a comfortable setting. As your primary care physician, I will walk alongside you and take a proactive approach to enhancing your health. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will have more time to develop close relationships with my patients and comprehensively care for their health. We will journey together as we serve your specific and individual healthcare needs. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

My partner, Dr. Brent Jacobus, and I understand and recognize the need for proactive, preventive care in thwarting disease and illness. Our passion continues to be patient care and providing the highest level of clinical knowledge in a compassionate and friendly environment. 

I am originally from northwest Indiana and have practiced medicine locally for 17 years. Needless to say, I love our community and enjoy serving its people! My personal interests include spending time with my wife and three boys, enjoying the Lake Michigan beach, community volunteer involvement, mission trips, triathlons and of course... basketball. 

Board-certified as a family doctor, I enjoy caring for all ages and health issues at every stage of life. My hospital affiliations include St. Mary Medical Center and Pinnacle Hospital.

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.
