How much does concierge medicine cost in New York?

Concierge medicine in the New York metro spans the full national range, $3,000 to over $40,000 per year. Entry Level practices run $2,500 to $5,000 a year, Premium practices run $5,000 to $12,000 a year, and Ultra Premium brands like MD² Madison Avenue ($25,000+ a year) and Private Medical (estimated $40,000+ a year) sit above the $12,000 threshold. The higher a practice's price, the less likely it is to disclose fees publicly, so any "average" computed from disclosed prices systematically understates the true Manhattan ceiling.

How many concierge doctors are in New York?

NextMD lists 210 concierge and DPC practices across the New York metropolitan statistical area, supported by hundreds of MD and DO physicians [1]. Manhattan alone accounts for roughly 63% of those practices, with the remaining ~37% distributed across Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, and Northern New Jersey. Greater Los Angeles is the only U.S. metro with more NextMD-listed concierge practices, at 223.

What's the difference between concierge and DPC in New York?

Concierge medicine in New York runs $3,000 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. Manhattan is concierge-dominated; Brooklyn and Northern New Jersey hold most of the metro's DPC supply.

Who's the best concierge doctor in New York?

There is no single "best" concierge doctor. Three highly-regarded examples that span the tiers: Dr. Amanda Kahn (Ultra Premium, integrative concierge, 50-patient panel, $18,000 a year), Highbridge Medical (Premium suburban, $8,400 a year), and the physicians at Mount Sinai Doctors Concierge Care (hospital-system concierge tied to a major academic medical center).

Is concierge medicine worth it in New York?

For patients who value same-day access, longer appointments, and direct physician communication, the answer is usually yes, particularly given Manhattan's traffic and the difficulty of reaching a primary care doctor in a traditional 2,000 to 2,500 patient panel. The cost-benefit calculation depends on existing insurance, the frequency of care, and whether longevity or executive health services are part of the value equation.

Does Medicare work with concierge medicine in New York?

Yes, with one important detail. Most New York 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 New York?

The metro spans the full national range, $3,000 to over $40,000 per year. Most NextMD-listed New York 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. Manhattan averages run higher than the metro figure because the borough concentrates the Ultra Premium tier, including MD² Madison Avenue and Private Medical. The published averages systematically understate the true ceiling because Ultra Premium practices rarely disclose fees publicly.

Are there DPC practices in New York?

Yes. NextMD lists DPC practices across the metro, concentrated in Brooklyn (Anise Medical, Leaf Medical), Long Island (Huntington Direct Primary Care, Long Island Direct Medical), and Northern New Jersey (Aspen Health, Kahn Health). Manhattan DPC supply is limited because the rent and operating cost structure favors concierge fee levels.

What neighborhoods in New York have the most concierge doctors?

Manhattan's Upper East Side, Midtown East, Gramercy, and Tribeca contain the densest concierge clusters. Outside Manhattan, Great Neck and Smithtown on Long Island, Scarsdale and Mount Kisco in Westchester, and Morristown and Princeton in Northern New Jersey are the leading suburban clusters.

How do I find a concierge doctor in New York who's accepting new patients?

The fastest path is to filter NextMD's New York city listings by specialty and use the inquiry form to confirm panel openings. Standard concierge and DPC practices typically have rolling availability; ultra-premium practices with capped panels (MD², Dr. Amanda Kahn) require waitlist signup.

Concierge Medicine in the New York Metro: The 2026 Market Report

1. Executive Summary

The New York metro is one of the top two concierge medicine markets in the United States, alongside greater Los Angeles. NextMD lists 210 physician-led concierge and direct primary care (DPC) practices across the New York-Newark-Jersey City statistical area, supported by hundreds of Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) physicians. Concierge prices span the full national range, from Entry Level practices around $3,000 a year to Ultra Premium brands that price over $40,000 a year. The defining feature is the bench: a median 33 years in practice, much of it concentrated in academic Manhattan.

3. Market Size & Scope

NextMD lists 210 practices in the New York metro and 223 in greater Los Angeles, making them the two largest concierge markets in the country [1]. NYC and LA sit roughly tied on practice count, with Miami and the Washington DC metro a tier below.

Distribution within the New York metro skews heavily toward Manhattan. The borough alone accounts for roughly 63% of the metro's practices, with the remainder spread across Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, and Northern New Jersey [1]. Manhattan also concentrates the Ultra Premium tier: every NextMD-listed practice priced above $12,000 a year sits inside the borough or its Westchester orbit. The market's distinctive signal is bench depth, including the densest cluster of performance and longevity practices in the country.

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

The metro's 388 physicians are 91.5% MD and 8.5% DO [1], one of the highest MD shares of any U.S. concierge market and a direct reflection of New York's status as a national academic medicine hub.

Training pedigree. Five medical schools account for the largest concentrations of NextMD-listed physicians: Albert Einstein College of Medicine (13 physicians), New York Medical College (11), Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (7), NYU Grossman School of Medicine (5), and Boston University School of Medicine (4) [1]. This is one of the only U.S. metros where the top three feeder schools are all in-market.

Residency programs. Internal Medicine residencies dominate, training at least 70 of the 388 physicians, followed by Family Medicine (8) and Obstetrics and Gynecology (7) [1]. Albert Einstein, Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, and NYU Langone are the most-cited host institutions.

Experience profile. The median NextMD-listed physician has 33 years in practice, with a 25th percentile of 27 years and a 75th percentile of 41 years [1]. Patients here are usually choosing among physicians with two to four decades of clinical history.

Subspecialty depth. Beyond primary care, Cardiology (38 physicians), Geriatric Medicine (16), Executive Health (16), Endocrinology (13), and Gastroenterology (13) round out the mix [1]. Functional Medicine (72) is a top-three specialty nationally.

5. What Concierge Medicine Costs in the New York Metro

The New York metro contains all three NextMD concierge tiers, plus a deep DPC layer and the country's largest performance-medicine cluster.

Entry Level ($2,500 to $5,000 a year). Princeton Functional Medicine (≈$3,500/yr), 5 Towns Medicine and Cardiology (≈$4,200/yr), Sandra Hoenig MD in Englewood (≈$3,000/yr).
Premium ($5,000 to $12,000 a year). The Lanby (≈$5,000/yr), Longevity Place in Scarsdale ($6,000/yr), Highbridge Medical in Mount Kisco ($8,400/yr).
Ultra Premium (over $12,000 a year, commonly over $40,000 a year). Dr. Amanda Kahn ($18,000/yr), MD² Madison Avenue ($25,000+/yr), Private Medical (estimated $40,000+/yr). Extension Health, the metro's most exclusive performance clinic, sits at the very top of this tier.
DPC ($600 to $2,400 a year, $50 to $200 a month). Eamonn A. Vitt MD ($249/mo), Anise Medical in Brooklyn ($197/mo), Aspen Health in Princeton ($100/mo), Huntington Direct Primary Care ($95/mo).

A note on disclosed prices. The higher a practice prices, the less likely it is to publish its fee. Entry Level practices almost always disclose; Premium practices usually do; Ultra Premium practices rarely do. Any "average disclosed fee" computed from public listings systematically understates the true Manhattan ceiling.

See the concierge medicine cost guide for what fees include.

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

Roughly 76% of the metro's 210 practices are concierge, with the remainder split between specialty concierge (~11%), performance and longevity clinics (~5%), DPC (~4%), and hybrid (~4%) [1]. The metro is the most concierge-dominant of any top-10 market.

New York's income base supports panels of fewer than 300 patients at $3,000 to over $40,000 a year, the structural definition of concierge. DPC, which serves panels up to 800 patients at $600 to $2,400 a year, is undervalued here because most concierge buyers carry employer insurance and treat membership as supplemental access.

See the concierge vs DPC comparison for a side-by-side breakdown.

7. Neighborhood & Sub-Region Deep Dive: Where NY Metro Practices Cluster

Manhattan Concierge Medicine (~63% of metro practices)

The densest single-borough concierge market in the United States. The Upper East Side, Midtown East, Gramercy, and Tribeca form the spine, with MD² Madison Avenue, Sollis Health Gramercy Center, and Private Medical Manhattan at the ultra-premium edge. Performance clinics including Apollo House, Extension Health, and Cenegenics New York anchor the longevity tier.

Brooklyn Concierge & DPC (15 practices)

Brooklyn is the metro's emerging DPC and integrative-care market. Anise Medical at $197 a month, Brooklyn Integrative Medicine at $250 a month, and pediatric Dandelion Pediatrics at $200 a month are the leading examples.

Long Island Concierge Medicine (22 practices)

Suburban concierge clusters in Great Neck, Smithtown, Rockville Centre, and the Hamptons. Concierge Choice Physicians anchors Rockville Centre; Hamptons BioMed represents the seasonal Southampton longevity market.

Westchester Concierge Medicine (7 practices)

Smaller count, premium prices. Highbridge Medical in Mount Kisco at $700 a month and Longevity Place in Scarsdale at $500 a month serve Wall Street commuters.

Northern New Jersey Concierge Medicine (35 practices)

The largest cluster outside the five boroughs. Morristown (six practices) and Princeton (six) are dual anchors. Notable: Davidoff Medical, an MD² Morristown outpost, Princeton Functional Medicine, and TullyMD in Hoboken.

8. Notable Practices in the NY Metro

MD² Madison Avenue (Manhattan, $25,000+/yr, Ultra Premium): an original Ultra Premium brand, 50 families per physician.
Private Medical (Manhattan, est. $40,000+/yr, Ultra Premium): NY satellite of the national multi-city brand.
Dr. Amanda Kahn (Manhattan, $18,000/yr, Ultra Premium): integrative IM, 50-patient panel.
Highbridge Medical (Mount Kisco, $8,400/yr, Premium): the metro's highest-priced suburban concierge.
The Lanby (Manhattan, ≈$5,000/yr, Premium): venture-backed multidisciplinary primary care.
Sollis Health: three Manhattan locations, concierge-urgent-care hybrid.
Apollo House (Manhattan, ≈$4,200/yr, Entry Level): cardiology-led longevity, accessibly priced.
Mount Sinai Doctors Concierge Care: flagship hospital-system concierge program.
Castle Connolly Private Health Partners: network model, 10+ Manhattan physicians.
Davidoff Medical (Morristown): largest concierge practice in Northern NJ.
Aspen Health (Princeton, $1,200/yr, DPC): the metro's most accessible DPC option.

9. Specialties Available

Internal Medicine, Preventive Medicine, Primary Care, Functional Medicine, and Cardiology are the five most common specialty designations on NextMD-listed metro practices [1]. The metro's Cardiology bench is the deepest of any concierge market in the country and reflects New York's enduring role as a national cardiac care center. Functional Medicine and Preventive Medicine are both top-three nationally, supported by Manhattan's longevity clinic concentration.

10. Who Concierge Medicine Serves in the NY Metro

Four archetypes drive demand. Manhattan executives with employer insurance use concierge as a layered access upgrade. Wall Street commuters in Westchester, Long Island, and Northern NJ rely on suburban concierge that coordinates with NewYork-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and Hackensack Meridian Health. Longevity patients treat Manhattan as a national destination. Brooklyn DPC members are typically self-employed or carry high-deductible plans and value transparent pricing. For broader context, see why 40% of ER visits are non-emergencies.

11. Access & Availability in 2026

Of the metro's 234 practices, the majority publish either an "accepting new patients" indicator or a waitlist. Performance medicine clinics, including Extension Health, Biograph New York City, and Apollo House, generally accept new patients quickly because their model favors short engagements over long-tenure membership. Ultra-premium concierge practices with capped panels, including MD² and Dr. Amanda Kahn, operate waitlists that typically clear in months rather than weeks. Most standard concierge and DPC practices accept patients on a same-week or same-month basis. Telehealth coverage is near-universal across the metro post-2020.

12. How the NY Metro Compares to Other Top Markets

Metric	NY Metro	LA Metro	Miami Metro	DC Metro
NextMD-listed practices	210	223	~170	~165
Metro population	20.1M	12.8M	6.4M	6.5M
Tiers represented	Entry / Premium / Ultra Premium	Entry / Premium / Ultra Premium	Entry / Premium	Entry / Premium
Ultra Premium presence	Deep (MD², Private Medical, Dr. Amanda Kahn)	Deep (Private Medical flagship)	Limited	Limited

NY and LA are the two largest concierge markets in the country and the only two with deep Ultra Premium representation. Miami and DC are denser per capita but cluster in the Entry and Premium tiers. NY's distinctive signal is bench depth, including the country's largest concentration of performance medicine and longevity clinics [1].

13. The 2026 Outlook for the NY Metro

Three trends shape the next 12 to 24 months. Performance and longevity medicine is adding Manhattan locations faster than any other concierge subcategory, pushing the category from niche to recognized vertical. Hospital-system concierge at NYU Langone, Weill Cornell, and NewYork-Presbyterian is expected to expand beyond Mount Sinai's current footprint. Brooklyn's DPC market is the fastest-growing affordable membership segment in the metro and will likely double its 15-practice base by 2027.

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

Decide on borough or suburb first; commute determines what's realistic.
Match hospital affiliation to specialist needs (Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, Weill Cornell).
For DPC, prioritize Brooklyn or Northern NJ; Manhattan DPC density is structurally low.
Ask whether the panel is capped, and at what number, before joining.
For longevity care, evaluate diagnostic depth, not branding.
