Meet Dr. Leeds

Osteopathic Physician, Deprescribing Specialist

Dr. Mark Leeds graduated from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1996 and completed his Family Medicine residency in 1999. He has over 26 years in family medicine and over two decades treating medication dependence. He serves on the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition medical advisory board and hosts The Rehab Podcast.

Dr. Leeds works with every patient himself. He provides medically supervised benzodiazepine and z-drug tapering, guided by the Ashton Manual and the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines. Physical dependence is not addiction, and the taper is gradual, patient-directed and spread over months, sometimes longer, never a rapid detox.

He sees patients at his Fort Lauderdale office and by telemedicine throughout Florida, Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 2 PM, as a concierge practice that does not bill insurance. Contact Dr. Leeds to ask about a consultation.
