MD2 is the original concierge medicine provider, born out of a need to bring human connection back to the core of primary care.

 

Our Journey

A bold vision for the future of medicine

Frustrated with overcrowded practices, rushed appointments, reactive care, and complex billing processes, Dr. Howard Maron joined Dr. Scott Hall to reimagine primary care. Pairing the basic human desire to live longer, healthier lives with the need for a trusted doctor-patient relationship, in which the physician knows their patient deeply and treats them with the respect they deserve, their vision marked the start of elite concierge medicine.

The first concierge medicine practice

In 1996, the first MD² concierge medical office opened in Seattle, WA. The core elements of the modern MD² experience were present from the beginning: no-wait, unrushed, completely private visits that allowed physicians and patients to build strong relationships that reached beyond the practice walls.

Over 30 practices across the country

In the years since, MD² has expanded to more than 30 concierge medical practices across the country, leading a growing movement of physicians who want to work for patients, not for insurance companies.

In addition to MD²’s growth, our original vision for a more patient-centered mode of medicine has been realized and shared by other practices. MD² remains at the very pinnacle of the field as the original elite concierge medicine provider, and by upholding the core MD² tenet—that physicians only serve 50 families at a time—MD² patients receive, by definition, the most refined, time-tested level of concierge medical service available.

Looking toward the future

There continues to be an exceptional demand for the personalized care and expertise MD2 practices offer. To meet that demand, MD² has committed to preserving and refining the original vision, with each new practice embodying the same uncompromised standard of care that defined the very first practice.

It is a tremendous gift to care for patients as I would my own family. This can be accomplished because I only care for a select few.
