Concierge Doctors

Imagine having a doctor who picks up your call at midnight. Or one who knows your medical history by heart because they had time to sit with you, listen, and connect.

That’s the difference a concierge doctor makes. Unlike traditional health care, concierge medicine offers a more personalized and direct approach, focusing on your unique needs and timely access to your physician.

In a world where traditional healthcare feels rushed and reactive, more patients in Los Angeles and across the U.S. are turning to concierge medicine. At MyConciergeMD, we believe your health deserves time, access, and a personalized plan. Our concierge doctors provide just that and more. With a concierge doctor, you can expect shorter wait times, direct communication, and a truly individualized health care experience.

What Is a Concierge Doctor?

A concierge doctor is a primary care physician who offers personalized, patient-centered care in exchange for a membership fee. This fee is often structured as an annual fee, which typically covers a range of enhanced healthcare services such as preventive care, direct physician access, and comprehensive wellness management. A concierge medicine program provides these premium, membership-based services, setting it apart from traditional insurance-based care.

Unlike conventional practices, where doctors manage 2,000+ patients, concierge doctors limit their panels to a few hundred. Concierge physicians are able to provide more individualized attention, focusing on high-access, comprehensive care for each patient. That means they have time. Time to explain, to follow up, to listen, and to think holistically about your health.

At MyConciergeMD, your concierge doctor isn’t just someone you see when you’re sick. They’re your advocate, your partner, and your guide whether you’re navigating a chronic condition, optimizing your wellness, or trying to avoid health issues altogether. The costs associated with concierge medicine are generally higher than traditional models, but many patients find value in the increased access, personalized care, and the expertise of highly trained physicians who often have board certifications and extensive experience.

Why Do People Choose a Concierge Doctor?

Many of our patients at MyConciergeMD in Los Angeles come to us with the same frustrations:

“I’m tired of rushed 10-minute visits.”

“My doctor barely remembers me.”

“It’s impossible to get an appointment when I need one.”

“I want someone who takes my whole health into account, not just my symptoms.”

A concierge doctor solves all of that and more. Here are some of the top reasons people make the switch:

Time and Attention

You get longer visits and more thoughtful care, including the option for in-person visits that allow for a deeper doctor-patient relationship. No one’s rushing you out the door.

Consistency

You’ll see the same doctor each time, someone who truly knows your medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Accessibility

Have a concern after hours? Your concierge doctor is just a call or text away, and it’s easy to schedule a visit—whether in person or virtually, knowing each visit will be thorough and personalized.

Peace of Mind

From preventive screenings to quick answers when something feels off, you get care that’s calm, clear, and proactive.

While concierge medicine has often been seen as something only the wealthy can afford, more people are now finding that this type of care is becoming accessible and may fit their budget.

At MyConciergeMD, your concierge doctor isn’t just a provider, they’re your health advocate, guide, and constant support system.

Concierge Doctor vs. Traditional Primary Care: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference lies in time, access, and personalization. Traditional primary care doctors often manage thousands of patients, which means shorter visits, longer wait times, and limited availability. In contrast, concierge doctors like those at MyConciergeMD care for a much smaller panel giving you extended appointments, same-day availability, and 24/7 access directly to your doctor.

With a concierge model, you’re not rushed in and out. Your doctor has the time to listen, dive deeper into your health concerns, and create tailored wellness plans. It’s a more proactive and collaborative approach, one that feels less like a transaction and more like a trusted partnership.

To better understand how these two models compare, take a look at the breakdown in the table below.

Choosing concierge medicine may lead to significant benefits in the long run. By investing in personalized, preventive care, patients could experience better health outcomes and potentially lower healthcare costs over time.

Health Plan Options for Concierge Medicine

Concierge medicine reimagines primary care by offering patients a variety of health plan options designed for enhanced access, personalized care, and comprehensive medical services. When exploring concierge medicine, it’s important to understand how different concierge practices structure their offerings and how these can fit with your existing insurance coverage and health needs.

One of the hallmarks of concierge medicine is the membership fee, which can vary widely depending on the concierge practice, the level of service, and the expertise of the concierge physician. Annual fees range from $1,500 to $20,000 or more, with some practices offering tiered membership plans so you can select the level of care and access that best matches your lifestyle and health goals. These fees typically cover most primary care services, including same day appointments, annual physicals, preventive care, and direct access to your concierge doctor.

It’s important to note that concierge medicine is not a substitute for traditional health insurance. Most patients maintain their existing insurance coverage to help cover specialist visits, hospitalizations, urgent care, and other services not included in the concierge membership. Some concierge practices may bill insurance for certain services, while others may require patients to pay out-of-pocket for additional treatments or specialty care. Understanding what your membership fee covers—and what it doesn’t—is key to making an informed decision.

There are several popular health plan models within concierge medicine, each offering a unique approach to care:

• Direct Primary Care (DPC): This model provides patients with unlimited direct access to their concierge doctor for a flat monthly fee. DPC practices focus on preventive care, wellness, and managing chronic conditions, often without billing insurance for routine visits.
• Boutique Medicine: Boutique practices offer a highly personalized approach, with enhanced access to your concierge physician, longer appointments, and a focus on comprehensive care. These practices may offer additional services such as wellness planning, nutrition counseling, and specialized treatments.
• Retainer Medicine: In this model, patients pay an upfront fee or annual retainer for concierge medical care, ensuring priority access and a more unhurried atmosphere during visits.
• Hybrid Models: Some concierge practices combine elements of different approaches, allowing patients to benefit from both direct care and insurance-billed services, tailoring the experience to individual health needs.

When choosing a health plan option for concierge medicine, consider your personal health history, the level of preventive care you desire, and whether you need frequent appointments or specialized treatments. Researching and comparing concierge practices can help you find a concierge doctor who aligns with your values and healthcare preferences, ensuring you receive exceptional care and better access to your physician.

Ultimately, concierge medicine empowers patients to take control of their healthcare journey, offering a more satisfying, comprehensive, and personalized approach to medical care. By selecting the right health plan and concierge practice, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated partner in your health and wellness.
