How much does concierge medicine cost in Los Angeles?

Concierge medicine in the LA metro spans the full national range, $1,900 to over $40,000 per year. Entry Level practices in Pasadena, Glendale, Thousand Oaks, and the San Fernando Valley run $1,900 to $5,000 a year; Premium practices like Hoag Concierge Medicine in Newport Beach run $5,000 to $12,000 a year; and Ultra Premium brands in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, including Private Medical (estimated $40,000+ a year) and MD² Santa Monica, sit above the $12,000 threshold.

How many concierge doctors are in Los Angeles?

NextMD lists 222 concierge and DPC practices across the greater LA metro, supported by 332 MD and DO physicians [1]. The split is 145 in LA County, 57 in Orange County, and 20 in Ventura County's Conejo Valley. Beverly Hills (26 practices), Newport Beach (21), Los Angeles proper (20), Pasadena (15), Thousand Oaks (11), and Irvine (10) account for over half the metro total. Greater LA is statistically tied with greater New York (210) for the largest U.S. concierge market.

What's the difference between concierge and DPC in Los Angeles?

Concierge medicine in Los Angeles runs $1,900 to over $40,000 per year, caps panels at fewer than 300 patients, and works alongside health insurance. DPC runs $600 to $2,400 per year ($50 to $200 per month), supports panels up to 800 patients, and typically does not bill insurance. Beverly Hills and Newport Beach are concierge-dominated; Irvine, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, and Pasadena hold most of the metro's DPC supply.

Who's the best concierge doctor in Los Angeles?

There is no single "best" concierge doctor. Three highly-regarded examples that span the tiers: Private Medical in Santa Monica (Ultra Premium, estimated $40,000+ a year), Hoag Concierge Medicine in Newport Beach (Premium hospital-system concierge), and Norman Chien MD in Pasadena (Entry Level solo concierge with a 30-year practice).

Is concierge medicine worth it in Los Angeles?

For patients who value same-day access, longer appointments, and direct physician communication, the answer is usually yes, particularly given LA's geography. Westside traffic alone makes concierge response time a meaningful quality-of-life factor.

Does Medicare work with concierge medicine in Los Angeles?

Yes, with one important detail. Most LA concierge practices accept Medicare for covered services, but the membership fee is paid out-of-pocket because Medicare does not pay for the access and amenity components of concierge care. DPC practices typically do not bill Medicare at all and operate on a flat membership fee instead.

What's the average price of concierge medicine in Los Angeles?

The metro spans the full national range. Most NextMD-listed LA practices that publish a price sit in the Entry Level ($2,500 to $5,000 a year) or Premium ($5,000 to $12,000 a year) tiers, with the median disclosed concierge fee near $208 a month, equivalent to roughly $2,500 a year [1]. Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Ultra Premium fees, which sit above $12,000 a year, are rarely disclosed publicly.

Are there DPC practices in Los Angeles?

Yes. NextMD lists 33 DPC practices across the metro, concentrated in Irvine (Embrace Direct Primary Care, Halcyon Health Direct Primary Care, Solace Primary Care), the Conejo Valley (Liberty Direct Primary Care, Conejo Valley Direct Primary Care), the San Fernando Valley (Health and Healing Direct Primary Care), and Pasadena (W Geriatrics Direct Primary Care). Beverly Hills DPC supply is limited because the rent and operating cost structure favors concierge fee levels.

What neighborhoods in Los Angeles have the most concierge doctors?

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood form the Westside spine. Outside the Westside, Newport Beach and Irvine on the Orange County coast, Thousand Oaks in the Conejo Valley, Pasadena in the San Gabriel Valley, and Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, and Glendale in the San Fernando Valley are the leading clusters.

What specialties are available in concierge medicine in Los Angeles?

Preventive Medicine (169 practices), Internal Medicine (111), Family Medicine (73), Functional Medicine (72), Primary Care (41), Pediatrics (22), Geriatric Medicine (22), Executive Health (21), Sports Medicine (15), and Cardiology (13) are the top ten specialty designations on NextMD-listed LA metro practices [1]. Preventive Medicine and Functional Medicine bench depth is the strongest of any U.S. concierge market.

Why does the LA market split between Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, and Thousand Oaks?

The metro is large enough geographically and demographically to support three distinct anchors. Beverly Hills serves Hollywood, entertainment, and Westside ultra-high-net-worth households, with the country's deepest Ultra Premium brand presence. Newport Beach serves Orange County tech founders, finance executives, and Pacific Life corporate buyers, with Hoag hospital affiliation as a structural advantage. Thousand Oaks anchors the Conejo Valley, serving professionals and retirees in Ventura County who want concierge without commuting to LA proper. The three rarely compete for the same patient because the commutes between them are 30 to 50 miles.

Q: How do I find a concierge doctor in Los Angeles who's accepting new patients?

The fastest path is to filter NextMD's Los Angeles city listings by specialty and use the inquiry form to confirm panel openings.

3. Market Size & Scope

NextMD lists 222 practices in greater Los Angeles, statistically tied with greater New York (210) for the largest concierge market in the country [1]. The greater LA region rolls three counties: LA County (145), Orange County (57), and Ventura County (20). The three-county footprint reflects how Angelenos actually use concierge medicine, since commutes make a practice's effective service area span 30 to 50 miles.

Beverly Hills (26), Newport Beach (21), Los Angeles proper (20), Pasadena (15), Thousand Oaks (11), and Irvine (10) account for over 50% of the metro total [1]. The market's distinctive signal is the country's deepest Preventive Medicine and Functional Medicine bench, anchoring Beverly Hills, the Orange County coast, and the Conejo Valley.

4. The Physician Bench: Who Are the LA Metro's Concierge & DPC Doctors?

The metro's 332 physicians are 85.8% MD and 14.2% DO [1], a higher DO share than New York reflecting California's strong osteopathic training pipeline.

Training pedigree. The deepest feeder schools are Western University of Health Sciences, UC Irvine, UCLA School of Medicine, and USC Keck. UC Irvine and UCLA feed the LA County and Orange County concierge bench; Western University is the dominant osteopathic feeder across the Conejo Valley.

Residency programs. Internal Medicine residencies dominate, with UC Irvine, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and the University of Washington the most-cited host institutions.

Experience profile. The median LA physician has 24 years in practice (p25 = 13, p75 = 34) [1]. The bench is younger than New York's median of 33, consistent with LA's growth-phase market and steady influx of new performance and longevity practices.

Subspecialty depth. Beyond primary care, Pediatrics (22 practices), Geriatric Medicine (22), Executive Health (21), Sports Medicine (15), and Cardiology (13) round out the mix [1]. Functional Medicine, with 72 practices listing it, is the country's deepest concentration.

5. What Concierge Medicine Costs in the LA Metro

The metro contains all three concierge tiers plus a deep DPC layer in Orange County, the Conejo Valley, and the San Fernando Valley.

Entry Level (less than $5,000/yr). Norman Chien MD in Pasadena (≈$1,900/yr), Francoise Menteer MD in Thousand Oaks ($2,500/yr), Apex Medicine in Manhattan Beach (≈$4,200/yr).

As in Manhattan, the higher a practice prices, the less likely it is to publish its fee. See the concierge medicine cost guide for what fees include.

6. Practice Models in the LA Metro: Concierge vs DPC vs Hybrid

Roughly 73% of the metro's 222 practices are concierge (161), with the remainder split between DPC (33), performance and longevity (13), hybrid (13), and specialty (2) [1]. The DPC share is 15%, more than triple New York's 4%, reflecting Orange County's tech-founder buyer base and the Conejo Valley's professional and self-employed households.

Beverly Hills is concierge-pure at 89% with almost no DPC. Orange County is more balanced, with Irvine hosting four DPC practices at $100 to $200 a month [1]. The Conejo Valley adds Liberty Direct Primary Care at $75 a month, the metro's lowest. See the concierge vs DPC comparison.

13. The 2026 Outlook for the LA Metro

Three trends shape the next 12 to 24 months. Beverly Hills longevity and performance medicine is adding capacity faster than any other concierge subcategory in the metro. Hoag and UCLA hospital-system concierge are expected to expand Newport Beach and Westwood footprints. Conejo Valley and Orange County DPC is the metro's fastest-growing affordable membership segment and will likely add another five practices in Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Westlake Village by 2027.

14. How to Choose a Concierge or DPC Doctor in the LA Metro

Decide on sub-region first; in a metro this large, commute drives what is realistic.
Match hospital affiliation to specialist needs (Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health, Hoag, Providence).
For DPC, prioritize Irvine, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, or Pasadena; Beverly Hills DPC supply is structurally absent.
Ask whether the panel is capped, and at what number, before joining.
For longevity care, evaluate diagnostic depth, not branding.
