About Concierge Medicine in Encinitas
Encinitas is the North County coastal anchor of the San Diego concierge market, serving the affluent communities from Leucadia to Rancho Santa Fe (median household income approximately $236,000, the wealthiest suburb in San Diego County). With 7 practices, the market is entirely concierge with no DPC.
A Personal Physician (Dr. Karanbir Brar, $5,000-$10,000/year tiered, 200-patient cap, Top Doctors 2023-2025, house calls, Prenuvo whole-body MRI, Galleri cancer screening) is the most comprehensive. Dr. Farris Sandhu ($5,000/year MDVIP, serves Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, and Carmel Valley) covers the North County affluent corridor. Family Physicians of Encinitas (Dr. Glenn Soppe, $2,100/year, 30+ years, all ages, Scripps Hospital privileges) is the most affordable and established. Bruce J. Sachs, MD ($3,350/year MDVIP, cardiovascular prevention) rounds out the mid-range.
Stuart B. Kipper, MD (founded 2002, 40+ years, currently full) is the longest-running practice. La Jolla (5 practices including Human Longevity and Scripps Executive Health) is 20 minutes south. San Diego proper (13 practices) extends the market. For context on how concierge medicine pricing works across the US, Encinitas is premium.
