Why Concierge Medicine Is Growing: A Boca Raton Practice on the Shift Toward Unrushed, Relationship-Based Care
Boca Raton, United States – July 23, 2026 / Palm Beach Concierge Medicine – Dr. Abeer Aziz-Siddiqui, DO /
Concierge medicine is no longer a niche. New industry data shows the U.S. concierge medicine market growing at double-digit rates, and Palm Beach Concierge Medicine says the reason is straightforward: patients are tired of rushed, seven-minute visits and are choosing a model built around time, access, and relationship.
According to Grand View Research, the U.S. concierge medicine market was valued at 7.35 billion dollars in 2024 and is projected to reach 13.23 billion dollars by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 10.33 percent. Primary care is the largest segment of that market, and internal medicine is among the fastest growing specialties within it. The same analysis points to a familiar pressure behind the trend: the Association of American Medical Colleges projects a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034, and new patients in major U.S. cities can wait anywhere from 27 to 70 days for an appointment.
“Those numbers describe exactly what patients feel,” said Dr. Abeer Aziz-Siddiqui, DO, founder of Palm Beach Concierge Medicine and a board-certified internal medicine physician. “When a physician is responsible for a few thousand patients, there is no way to give any one of them enough time. Concierge medicine changes the math.”
What changes when the panel gets smaller
The defining feature of concierge medicine is a smaller patient panel. Industry data indicates concierge physicians often care for a fraction of the patients seen in a conventional practice, which is what makes longer visits and same-day access possible. For patients, the practice says, that translates into three concrete differences:
- Time. Visits are long enough to review the whole picture, not just the reason for the appointment.
- Access. Direct communication and same-day or next-day availability mean concerns get addressed early.
- Continuity. Seeing the same physician over time makes it easier to spot trends and catch problems sooner.
“Prevention is not a slogan, it is a function of time,” Dr. Aziz-Siddiqui said. “When you actually know a patient and can sit with their history, you catch the small things before they become big ones.”
A local shift, not just a national one
Boca Raton and the surrounding communities have been an early adopter of the model, with a patient base that values access and is willing to invest in a more personal standard of care. Imran Siddiqui, chief executive officer of Palm Beach Concierge Medicine, says local demand mirrors the national data.
“People here are not looking for luxury for its own sake,” Siddiqui said. “They want a physician who picks up the phone, who remembers their story, and who has the time to think carefully about their care. That is what they are choosing.”
The practice also notes a workforce trend reflected in the research: a growing number of female physicians are moving into concierge medicine, drawn by the ability to practice sustainably and spend more time with each patient. Palm Beach Concierge Medicine is physician-led by Dr. Aziz-Siddiqui, whose background includes health-system leadership in South Florida.
What patients should ask
For anyone weighing the model, the practice suggests a few practical questions: How large is the physician’s panel? How quickly can I reach my physician? Is my history actually known to the person treating me? The answers, it says, matter more than any amenity.
