Ira Pearlstine, MD

Meet Dr. Pearlstine, a dedicated medical professional with over 30 years of experience, After receiving his medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, Dr. Pearlstine ventured to St. Petersburg, FL, for his Family Practice residency at the University of South Florida. There, his leadership abilities shone through as he served as Chief Resident. Since 1987, he has practiced on the Treasure Coast, establishing the Family Practice division of the Heart and Family Health Institute in 1989.

Board certified in Family Practice since 1987, Dr. Pearlstine continues to uphold the highest standards of medical care and certification. His commitment extends beyond individual practice—he has been a significant figure in the medical community both locally and statewide. His roles have included serving as a board member of the Florida Academy of Family Physicians and as a chairman of the board of directors of a local affiliate of a national hospital chain.

Throughout his career, Dr. Pearlstine has experienced the healthcare industry’s evolution, notably the increasing demands from insurance companies. These demands often hindered his ability to provide quality, preventative care in a personalized setting—a cornerstone of his practice philosophy. Listening to his patients’ needs and desires for better care, Dr. Pearlstine was driven to make a pivotal change.

In response, he founded Preserve Health MD in Port St. Lucie, FL—the area’s first direct patient care practice.
