About Concierge Medicine in Honolulu
Honolulu's concierge medicine market is almost entirely MDVIP. Ten of the eleven practices listed on NextMD are MDVIP-affiliated physicians, making this one of the most MDVIP-concentrated markets in the country per capita. The single non-MDVIP option is Hawaii Kai Health Care, a DPC practice.
The Honolulu metro has a population of approximately 989,000 (as of 2025). NextMD lists 16 concierge medicine and direct primary care (DPC) practices, with 19 doctors. The average membership is $165/mo per month.
Hawaii consistently ranks among the healthiest states in the US, with a life expectancy of approximately 82 years, partly due to the 1974 Prepaid Health Care Act, the nation's first employer-mandate health insurance law. The Queen's Health System operates Queen's Medical Center, the state's only Level I trauma center. Hawaii Pacific Health operates Straub Medical Center, which offers executive health programs. Adventist Health Castle serves the Windward side.
Island geography creates a unique dynamic: specialist access is limited, travel to the mainland for complex care is common, and concierge physicians who coordinate referrals both locally and to mainland specialists provide significant value.
The market is tight. Eight of eleven practices are currently not accepting new patients, reflecting strong demand and limited physician supply on the island.

If concierge medicine in Honolulu is a priority, act quickly. Waitlists are real on island. Our guide on how to choose the right concierge or DPC doctor covers what to ask.
- MDVIP is essentially your only option. Ten of eleven practices are MDVIP-affiliated. The pricing is consistent ($2,000 to $3,450/year) and the model is standardized with same-day access, 24/7 availability, and the MDVIP wellness program. For more on how MDVIP compares to other models, see the key differences between concierge medicine and DPC.
- Island geography limits specialist access. A concierge physician who coordinates mainland referrals is especially valuable in Hawaii. Ask how your doctor handles referrals to specialists not available on island.
- DPC has one option and it is full. Hawaii Kai Health Care ($95 to $160/month) is the only DPC practice and is not accepting new patients. If affordable membership-based care is your goal, ask about their waitlist.
