MD² Opens Scottsdale Practice, Introducing a Highly Personalized Concierge Medicine Experience to Arizona

Practice offers 100 families direct access to physicians through a thoughtful relationship-driven care model

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (March 3, 2026) – MD² (pronounced MD Squared), the nation’s first and leading concierge medicine provider, today announced the opening of its Scottsdale concierge medicine practice, marking the company’s first practice in Arizona. Designed for families seeking highly personalized, relationship-driven medical care, MD² Scottsdale will offer families exclusive, 24/7 access to two world-class physicians, each serving 50 families.

MD²’s expansion into Scottsdale marks the opening of its 39th practice. Built around a concierge care model that prioritizes direct physician access and advanced medical technology, each MD² physician cares for a small patient panel. By eliminating traditional waiting rooms and rushed appointments, the practice allows physicians to spend meaningful, unhurried time with each patient—reflecting a broader shift toward relationship-driven, proactive healthcare. Families pay a monthly retainer, which provides continuous, direct access to their physician and comprehensive in-office services.

“Scottsdale is known for its commitment to quality living and forward-thinking wellness,” said Sean Kell, CEO of MD². “Our new practice enhances the options available to families by providing a level of time, attention and access that supports them in achieving their long-term goals.”
