Is Concierge Medicine Worth It? A Physician's Perspective

Direct primary care and concierge medicine are growing — but are they right for everyone? An honest assessment of the costs, benefits, and what to look for in a concierge practice.

Every post is written by physicians or the Mt. Baker Medical clinical team and reviewed by Dr. James Scribner, MD, FACEP — A4M Fellow and board-certified emergency physician. Sources are linked inline where possible; recommendations reflect current evidence and clinical practice.

Bring this to the workup.

Thirty minutes with Dr. Scribner — no exam, no commitment, no charge. We talk through what you read, what you're seeing in your own labs and history, and what a real workup would actually change.
