About

At Encore Concierge Medicine, Dr. Julia Gold delivers comprehensive family medicine and preventive care from her River North office in Chicago. She brings over a decade of family medicine experience to a practice built on unhurried, whole-person care. Her panel stays intentionally small, giving each patient meaningful time and genuine attention.

The practice covers a wide clinical range, from chronic disease management and women's health to pediatric wellness and advanced diagnostics. Dr. Gold partners with leading health technology platforms, including Galleri for multi-cancer early detection, Cleerly for coronary artery disease imaging, and OneOme for pharmacogenomics. Peer physicians have recognized her excellence twice over, naming her a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for both 2025 and 2026. Modern Luxury Chicago also named her one of the Best 10 Concierge Doctors in Chicago in 2025. Members reach Dr. Gold directly by text, call, or direct message, with most concerns addressed within 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Encore Concierge Medicine charges an annual membership fee of $3,900 for both Adult Wellness and Pediatric Wellness memberships. A one-time enrollment fee of $300 applies at registration. Immediate family members, including spouses and children, receive a 10% discount. Members may use FSA or HSA funds to cover membership dues.

Encore does not bill insurance for any medical care. The annual membership fee covers all care provided within the practice. The practice recommends that members maintain a separate insurance policy for services outside the practice, such as specialist visits, hospitalizations, or emergency care. HMO plans are not compatible with this model.

Yes. Encore Concierge Medicine offers same-day appointments for sick visits and urgent concerns. The practice keeps its patient panel intentionally small, which makes fast scheduling consistently available.

Prospective patients can start by completing the enrollment form on the practice website. Encore also offers a complimentary virtual pre-membership consultation, which you can self-schedule through Calendly. During that meeting, Dr. Gold's team answers questions and walks you through the membership process. No long-term contract is required.

Yes. Dr. Gold conducts telemedicine visits for members who prefer remote care. Secure video visits are available through the practice's patient portal, and members can reach Dr. Gold directly between visits via a HIPAA-compliant texting app.

Membership at Encore covers comprehensive annual exams, personalized lab work, in-office testing for influenza, COVID-19, strep, mono, urinalysis, and pregnancy, EKG monitoring, vision screening, ear flushing, minor wound care, mental health screenings, chronic disease management, sick appointments, preventive care, pre-operative evaluations, sports and work physicals, travel consultations, weight management, vaccinations, care coordination, and telemedicine visits.

Yes. Encore's Pediatric Wellness membership covers well-child checkups, developmental assessments, autism and behavioral assessments, ADHD evaluations, and pediatric sports physicals. The annual fee for pediatric membership matches the adult rate at $3,900, with a 10% discount for immediate family members.

Yes. Encore runs a corporate partnership program designed for small to mid-sized companies. The program offers group membership rates and gives employees access to the same personalized, direct-access care available to individual members.

Dr. Gold welcomes Medicare patients, though she has opted out of Medicare billing. Medicare patients pay the annual membership fee directly and do not bill Medicare for services received at the practice.

Encore builds each patient's diagnostic plan around their individual health goals and risk profile rather than applying a standard panel to everyone. Dr. Gold partners with platforms such as Galleri for multi-cancer early detection, Cleerly for coronary artery disease imaging, and OneOme for pharmacogenomics. This approach gives members a more thorough picture of their health than routine screening typically provides.
