About Concierge Medicine in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at the intersection of world-class medicine and the nation's largest concentration of health technology companies. The Bay Area is home to approximately 3,000 healthtech companies and attracts more life sciences venture capital than nearly any market globally. That creates a patient population of early adopters who expect technology-forward, data-driven, personalized care.
The SF metro has a population of approximately 4.6 million (as of 2025). NextMD lists 27 concierge medicine and direct primary care (DPC) practices in San Francisco, with 83 doctors. The average membership is $169/mo per month.
UCSF Health is the city's top-ranked academic medical center. Sutter Health operates CPMC (California Pacific Medical Center) in the city and runs a formal concierge medicine program with locations in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Los Gatos, offering limited patient panels, 24/7 physician access, and house calls. Kaiser Permanente is the dominant integrated system in the broader Bay Area. Stanford Health Care anchors the Peninsula and South Bay.
San Francisco's concierge market has a distinctive mix: traditional concierge practices, longevity and genomics-focused clinics (CRISSP offers whole genome sequencing), DPC practices serving the Castro and other neighborhoods, and ultra-premium options like Private Medical (100-patient cap, approximately $40,000 per year).

Types of Concierge and DPC Practices in San Francisco
Concierge medicine is the most common model in San Francisco. My Doctor Medical Group offers 45 to 120 minute appointments with house calls available. Golden Gate Concierge Medicine has four internal medicine specialists. Nationally, 99% of concierge and DPC practices offer same-day or next-day appointments.
Direct primary care (DPC) has a smaller but notable presence, and understanding the key differences between concierge medicine and DPC helps when evaluating options. Castro Direct Primary Care ($200/month) and Athletic Heart of San Francisco ($125/month) offer flat monthly fees with no copays. DPC in San Francisco tends to serve specific communities or niches rather than the broad market.
Longevity and genomics clinics are more prominent in San Francisco than in almost any other US metro. CRISSP includes whole genome sequencing. HealthspanSF tracks 250+ biomarkers. Eternal offers tiered plans from basic healthspan to full concierge. This category reflects the Bay Area's tech culture and consumer interest in data-driven health optimization.
Hospital-affiliated concierge exists through Sutter Concierge Medicine, which operates in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Los Gatos with limited panels and 24/7 physician access. This is unusual for a West Coast city and gives patients concierge care backed by a major hospital system's referral network.
Specialty concierge includes integrative medicine (Anatara Medicine), regenerative medicine (California Regenerative Clinic), and pediatrics (GetzWell). San Francisco Integrative Gynecology and Functional Medicine SF serve specific specialty needs.

How to Choose a Concierge Doctor in San Francisco
- Consider Sutter Concierge if you want a hospital-backed system. Sutter Health's concierge program is the only hospital-affiliated concierge option in San Francisco proper. If you want a dedicated physician plus priority referrals within a major system, this is the option. UCSF Health does not currently operate a concierge program.
- Longevity and genomics practices are uniquely strong here. If you want whole genome sequencing, 250+ biomarker tracking, or a data-driven approach to health optimization, San Francisco has more options in this category than any other US city. CRISSP, HealthspanSF, and Eternal serve this niche.
- DPC is limited but targeted. Our guide on how to choose the right concierge or DPC doctor covers what to ask. San Francisco has fewer DPC options than most comparably sized cities. Castro Direct Primary Care and Athletic Heart are the primary options at $125 to $200 per month. If affordable monthly membership is your priority, compare these carefully.
- Check panel size. The range in SF is wide: Private Medical and BlueWave Medicine cap at 100, MD LTD at 150, MD2 at 50 families. Ask the number before committing.
- Factor in Peninsula vs. city. If you live on the Peninsula (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton), Sutter Concierge has a Palo Alto location. Stanford Health Care provides specialist access. You may not need to commute into the city for concierge care.
