About Concierge Medicine in Portland
Portland has the third-longest physician wait times of any major metro in the United States. A 2025 AMN Healthcare survey found the average wait for a new physician appointment in Portland is 55 days, behind only Boston (67 days) and Seattle (62 days). That access crisis makes concierge medicine especially relevant here, even though Portland's market is small.
The Portland metro has a population of approximately 2.5 million (as of 2025). NextMD lists 14 concierge medicine and direct primary care (DPC) practices in Portland, with 25 doctors. The average membership is $126/mo per month.
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is the state's only academic medical center and Level I trauma center. OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute received a transformative $500 million donation and is nationally recognized. Providence Health & Services (Providence Portland, Providence St. Vincent) is the largest system in the metro. Legacy Health (Legacy Emanuel, Legacy Good Samaritan) is the third major system. OHSU does not operate a formal concierge program but offers executive health assessments.
Portland's concierge market is small but distinctive. It has strong community-focused practices: PridePoint Health (LGBTQ+-focused DPC with a Health Equity Fund), Shanks Primary Care (gender-affirming care, house calls, Spanish-speaking), and The Biemer Clinic (aging athletes and longevity, founded 2008). MD2 Portland (50 families per doctor) represents the ultra-premium end.
Oregon was also the first state to legalize physician-assisted death (Death with Dignity Act, 1997), reflecting the state's progressive healthcare culture.

Longevity and performance is represented by The Biemer Clinic (aging athletes, longevity since 2008) and Elevate Health (functional medicine, nutrition, BioMat). Portland's outdoor-active population drives demand for sports and longevity-oriented practices.

How to Choose a Concierge Doctor in Portland
- The 55-day wait is what you're solving. Every concierge and DPC practice offers same-day or next-day access. In a market where a new primary care appointment takes nearly two months, any membership option eliminates that. Data shows why concierge patients visit the ER 40% less often when they can reach their doctor directly.
- Compare options systematically. Our guide on how to choose the right concierge or DPC doctor walks through the key factors.
- AIM Health is the most accessible. Seven physicians, $50 to $135 per month, accepts Medicare and most insurance. If you want concierge-level access without dropping insurance, this is the most flexible option.
- Community-specific practices matter here. PridePoint (LGBTQ+), Shanks (gender-affirming, Spanish), Renew (Vietnamese) each serve distinct communities. Portland's progressive culture supports these specialized approaches in a way most cities don't.
- The Biemer Clinic is the value outlier. At $38 per month starting, it's one of the most affordable concierge practices in any major US metro. Two locations (NW Portland and Tualatin) add convenience. The longevity and aging athlete focus serves Portland's active population.
- MD2 is the premium tier. 50 families per doctor. Direct cell access. House and workplace calls. If you want the smallest panel and most dedicated physician relationship, MD2 is the option. Currently not accepting new patients.
- OHSU is the academic referral anchor. Oregon's only academic medical center and Level I trauma center. Knight Cancer Institute for oncology. Ask your concierge doctor about their OHSU referral relationship.
