Concierge Medicine in [CITY]: A Complete Guide
Last updated:
Concierge medicine in [CITY] is a membership-based model of primary care: patients pay an annual fee — at Meyers Medical, $[X,XXX] per year — in exchange for 24/7 direct access to their physician, same-day appointments, extended visits, and a comprehensive annual physical. This guide explains how the model works locally, what it costs, and how to decide whether it is right for you.
How concierge medicine works in [CITY]
A concierge practice deliberately limits how many patients it accepts. Stuart Meyers, MD caps Meyers Medical at roughly [300] patients, while a typical [CITY] primary care practice carries 2,500+. That single structural difference drives everything patients notice: appointments available the same day, visits that run 30–60 minutes instead of 10, and a physician who answers the phone personally at night.
Members keep their health insurance. The membership fee covers the primary care relationship — access, time, prevention — while insurance continues to cover hospital care, specialists, imaging, labs, and prescriptions, exactly as it did before.
What does a concierge doctor cost in [CITY]?
Concierge membership fees in the [CITY] area vary by physician experience and what the membership includes. Meyers Medical charges $[X,XXX] per year (about $[XXX] per month), which includes every office visit, the annual executive physical, telemedicine, and 24/7 physician access with no per-visit charges.
When comparing practices, look past the headline number. Ask what the fee includes, how large the patient panel is, who actually answers after-hours calls, and whether the annual physical is a genuine half-day assessment or a standard 20-minute exam with a new label.
What a membership typically includes
- 24/7 direct phone and text access to your physician — not an answering service
- Same-day or next-day appointments that start on time
- Extended visits of 30–60 minutes
- A comprehensive annual executive physical with advanced screening
- A personalized prevention and longevity plan, updated every year
- Coordination of specialist care, imaging, and hospital stays
- Telemedicine from anywhere, and house calls when appropriate
Concierge medicine vs. traditional primary care
| Concierge medicine | Traditional primary care | |
|---|---|---|
| Patients per physician | ~[300] | 2,500+ |
| Typical visit length | 30–60 minutes | 10–15 minutes |
| Wait for an appointment | Same day or next day | Days to weeks |
| After-hours access | Your own physician, 24/7 | Answering service or urgent care |
| Annual physical | Half-day executive physical | 20-minute wellness visit |
| Care coordination | Physician-managed | Largely patient-managed |
Who benefits most
The model fits people whose health, time, or responsibilities make the traditional system costly: executives and business owners who cannot spend half a day in a waiting room, patients managing multiple chronic conditions who need real coordination, families who want one trusted physician across the years, and healthy adults who take prevention seriously and want a longevity plan rather than a yearly formality.
How to choose a concierge doctor in [CITY]
- Verify board certification and hospital affiliations.
- Ask the exact panel size and whether it is truly capped.
- Ask who answers the phone at 2 AM — the physician, or a service.
- Ask what the annual physical actually includes, test by test.
- Insist on transparent pricing before you commit.
- Meet the physician first. Any good concierge practice offers a free meet-and-greet — the relationship is the product.
The bottom line
Concierge medicine trades a known annual fee for something the traditional system can no longer reliably provide: a physician with time.
