How Much Do Concierge Doctors Make?

What would it look like to practice medicine the way you always envisioned? What if you were no longer rushed, restricted, or reactive? What if you had the time, resources, and autonomy to give each patient your full attention at every visit?

That is the value of concierge medicine, and it is why more physicians are exploring it as a serious career move. The model allows you to deliver high-quality, relationship-based care while maintaining balance in your personal and professional life.

At PartnerMD, we have helped physicians make this transition for more than 20 years. With established practices in Richmond, VA, Baltimore, MD, Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC,  and Greenville, SC, we understand what physicians value and the questions they ask when considering concierge medicine, especially questions about compensation.

In this article, you will learn which factors affect concierge physician salaries and what you can expect to earn at a concierge medical practice, based on real regional market data.

What affects a concierge medicine physician’s salary?

Like any medical career, the salary in concierge medicine varies depending on several key factors. Here are the most common influences:

1. Geographic Market

Your location plays a major role. Local cost of living, patient demand, and provider competition can all affect salary ranges.

2. Practice Structure

Some concierge physicians are owners of independent practices. Others are salaried employees within larger concierge groups. At PartnerMD, physicians are salaried, and pay is aligned with panel size and other responsibilities.

3. Additional Roles

Those who take on internal leadership positions, such as chief medical officer or clinical mentor, may receive added compensation for those duties.

What is a typical concierge physician's salary?

Physician salaries in concierge medicine depend on location, experience, and the structure of the practice. In many cases, compensation is similar to or slightly higher than traditional private practice. Concierge physicians typically manage smaller patient panels and provide more personalized care, which can lead to stronger relationships and improved outcomes.

At PartnerMD, physician salaries are aligned with regional private practice benchmarks and often exceed them. We rely on real market data to ensure our compensation is competitive and sustainable.

Here are the average primary care salary ranges in the cities where we operate, based on Salary.com:

• Richmond: $212,197 to $281,789
• Atlanta: $213,506 to $283,526
• Baltimore: $224,822 to $298,554
• Greenville: $201,775 to $267,948
  
• Charlotte: $207,182 to $280,300

PartnerMD physicians with full panels earn at or above the high end of these ranges.

Is PartnerMD the right fit for you?

We are proud of the compensation we offer, but we also want to be clear about who we are looking for. PartnerMD is not the right place for physicians who are looking to work less without maintaining a high standard of care.

We are looking for physicians who want to work better. That means spending more time with patients, building long-term relationships, and delivering care that is proactive and comprehensive.

If that sounds like the type of physician you are and the kind of practice you want to be part of, then PartnerMD may be a strong fit for your next career move.

Your next step: Start the conversation.

If you are feeling stuck in a system that does not support the level of care you want to provide, you are not alone. Concierge medicine offers a new path, and PartnerMD has the team, structure, and support to help you walk it successfully.
