While concierge medicine has become more affordable, it’s still an investment. People make that investment because they deem it a priority – for their health, their lifestyle, their performance, and their longevity.
At PartnerMD, we take our responsibility for that investment very seriously. It’s why we strive to provide a truly exceptional experience every day.
Concierge patients want a partner to help them prevent health issues, so they can live the life they want to live, whether that’s traveling the world, walking their daughter down the aisle, or holding their grandkids.
Our doctors help them do just that.

Our No. 1 priority is always going to be patient care. We’re looking for doctors committed to the same – better relationships with each patient, providing the tools they need to achieve their goals, and being there for patients when they need us.
As a doctor, this is one of the top benefits of practicing concierge medicine.
Often, we hear this expressed in some form of “I just want to practice medicine the way I envisioned when I entered medical school.”
That is not packed schedules and anonymous, overloaded panels; neither is it spending most of the time running a tight-margin business.

PartnerMD isn’t a destination for doctors looking to enjoy a few years of laidback work as they head toward retirement. That our doctors might work less is one of the myths of becoming a concierge doctor. The truth is that our doctors just work differently and in a more rewarding way.
Our candidates tend to have graduated from a U.S. medical school, completed their residency at a top program, and spent a few years practicing.
A lot of our candidates say they “already try to give patients the time concierge medicine affords.” Many share their desire to develop better relationships or express fear of missing something because they can’t slow down.

Nursing Support
Each PartnerMD doctor has a dedicated nurse who coordinates scheduling and patient care.
Patients
Typical PartnerMD patients are from all walks of life, of all ages, and represent a wide diversity of income levels. They are people who prioritize and invest in their current and future health.

We started with one doctor in one office. Now, we have more than 30 physicians in seven offices across four states. In 2021 alone, we added six physicians.
What's that mean? Our team knows how to help you make the transition.
We've found that actually making the decision, committing to making the switch, is the biggest hurdle.
From there, we do as much as we can to remove the uncertainties of making the switch, from communicating with patients to training on a new EMR to managing the actual logistics of a physical move.
