About Concierge Medicine in Columbus
Columbus is the largest city in Ohio and the fastest-growing major metro in the Midwest. OhioHealth alone has over $1.5 billion in active construction projects, including a $400 million expansion of Grant Medical Center. Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the flagship academic center, nationally ranked, and runs an Executive Health program that bridges concierge and traditional primary care with smaller panels, after-hours availability, and acute visits within 48 hours.
The Columbus metro has a population of approximately 2.2 million (as of 2025). NextMD lists 9 concierge medicine and DPC practices, with 24 doctors. The average membership is $76/mo per month.
Nationwide Children's Hospital is a top-10 pediatric hospital nationally. The city's rapid growth, driven by Intel's $20 billion semiconductor facility under construction in nearby New Albany, is increasing demand for healthcare access across the metro.
The market is small but has a mix of MDVIP, independent concierge, and hospital-affiliated options. Availability is tight: four of six practices are currently not accepting new patients.

How to Choose a Concierge Doctor in Columbus
- Availability is the biggest constraint. Our guide on how to choose the right concierge or DPC doctor covers what to ask. Four of six practices are not accepting patients. Your Private MD (Silver $89/month, Gold $125/month) and Mary Beth Butcher MD ($2,250/year MDVIP) are currently open. Act quickly in a tight market.
- OSU Wexner Executive Health bridges both models. If you want the academic medical center but can't find a traditional concierge opening, Wexner's Executive Health program offers smaller panels and after-hours access while keeping insurance integration. Research shows why concierge patients visit the ER 40% less often, which makes the membership investment easier to justify.
- OhioHealth is the dominant system. 16 hospitals, $1.5 billion in active construction. Ask your concierge doctor about their OhioHealth referral relationships.
- New Albany is the wealth anchor. New Albany (mean household income approximately $305,000, Intel's $20 billion facility under construction) is the wealthiest suburb. Upper Arlington, Dublin, Bexley, and Powell also drive concierge demand.
