Private Medical

What Private Medical does

Private Medical is a private, self-funded concierge medicine practice founded in 2002 by Dr. Jordan Shlain in San Francisco. It provides personalized, proactive primary care to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, executives, founders, and their families on a subscription basis, with annual membership fees ranging from $4,000 to $250,000+ per patient. The practice operates approximately 6-7 U.S. offices — including San Francisco, Silicon Valley, New York, Greenwich, Miami, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica — staffed by 30+ physicians and 150+ supporting team members, with a deliberately capped panel of roughly 100 members per physician (compared with 600 at peer concierge practices and 2,500 in traditional primary care).

The core offering is a membership-based concierge service providing 24/7 direct physician access via email, text, and phone, same-day appointments, data-driven care plans, advanced screenings (proteomic, genomic, AI-enhanced imaging), and care coordination through a curated global network of 4,000+ specialists and 30+ affiliated medical centers across 200 cities. Add-on modules include Pediatric Membership, Women's Health Program, Lifestyle Medicine, and an Executive Health Program for corporate clients. The Innovation Council, a monthly convening of nine physicians and nurses, evaluates emerging diagnostics, AI, and digital health tools to integrate into the practice.

The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer and sales-led: prospective members inquire through a website form or direct outreach, then receive personalized consultations and pricing. The company is self-funded and 100% financially independent with no external investors, and it markets this independence as a trust differentiator. Nearly all growth comes from member referrals, with 90%+ annual member renewal. Strategic positioning emphasizes long physician-patient relationships, time and access, and academic-caliber specialist coordination, rather than technology productization.
