WHY CHOOSE OUR AWARD-WINNING CONCIERGE MEDICAL PRACTICE IN ROCKVILLE, MD?
When it comes to your health, experience matters!
In 2006, Rockville Concierge Doctors became one of the nation's, and Montgomery County's, earliest pioneers in concierge medicine. Since then, our founder, Dr. Aimee Seidman, a member of Washingtonian Magazine's Top Doctor Hall of Fame, has offered personalized primary care to residents of Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC.
Rockville Concierge Doctors believes the key to achieving quality primary care outcomes is getting to know our patients, having the time to perform a careful history and physical exam, coordinating care with our extensive referral network and advocating for them. (We are not distracted by, nor interested in, generating additional revenue from offering ancilary health services such as cosmetic treatments, IV therapy, supplements, etc.) Our focus is on treating illness, including chronic conditions, prevention and improving our patients' quality of life.
We provide personalized, patient-centered care for acute and chronic conditions, as well as preventive care for individuals throughout the adult lifespan, from young adulthood to middle age to the senior years.
Many of the people who join our practice have not had a concierge physician before and were motivated to look for one out of frustration with their insurance-based primary care practice. As a concierge primary care practice, we do not accept/charge health insurance. Rather, we charge patients a membership fee for the year, which includes unlimited visits. This allows us to limit our practice size, which in turn provides flexibility and allows us to spend more time per patient. If we need to order any testing or refer you to a specialist, we refer you to a place that accepts your insurance.
There are many benefits of membership in a concierge medical practice. Below are a few of the characteristics that make us special. Click on each for more information.
Most full-time primary care physicians who accept health insurance care for more than 2,300 patients, which is why they can only spend 10-20 minutes per patient during an office visit.
At Rockville Concierge Doctors, we limit ourselves to 400 patients per physician, which allows us to spend up to two hours for a physical exam and at least 30 minutes for an acute illness visit or chronic care follow-up visit (longer if we deem medically necessary).
With unrushed office visits, we are able to spend more time understanding your needs and concerns, examining you, explaining our findings and treatments options, including you in treatment decisions and addressing any and all questions you might have.
We offer our patients direct availability to one of our physicians by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for urgent medical issues. That allows us to provide care over the phone or through our patient portal.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, dial 911 immediately.

It is said that health is the greatest wealth. We value your health and have the education, experience and expertise to provide you with quality care which focuses not only on the treatment of illness, including chronic conditions, but also on helping you achieve a personal level of health which allows you to enjoy life and live it with vitality. Thus, our annual membership fees, which are age-based, are reflective of the value of the care, service and experience we provide each of our patients.
Established in 2006, Rockville Concierge Doctors was one of the first concierge medicine practices in Montgomery County. As the demand for concierge medicine has continued to grow throughout the area, many new practices have opened. However, many of those practices do not have the same level of education, experience and expertise as our practice.
Our founder, Dr. Aimee Seidman, is one of the most highly thought of and sought after internal medicine physicians in metro D.C. As a perennial Washingtonian Magazine Top Doctor, as voted by her peers, she has also been named by Washingtonian to the Top Doctor Hall of Fame.
Our yearly membership fee includes office visits.
We don’t accept health insurance, which means there are no co-pays or co-insurance fees. This is different from many other concierge practices, which not only charge a yearly fee but also submit bills to insurance and therefore must collect co-pays. What's more, because we don't bill insurance, patients can submit to their insurance company a receipt for the value of care provided at each visit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Concierge medicine is extremely convenient for all adults including busy professionals who are short on time and need to make appointments which fit their schedule. At Rockville Concierge Medicine, patients are typically seen during office hours within a day or two. Appointments are on time. Depending on the issue, we may even be able to diagnose and treat you over the phone or through the patient portal, without you having to come to the office.
We strongly believe in the power of prevention. Through personalized lifestyle interventions, as well as evidence-based screening tests, we can help you get healthier and keep you maintain good health. As your primary care physician, we take the time to get to know you and conduct a thorough health history so that we can identify any potential health risks based on previous illnesses or family history.
As your medical advocates, we have an extensive referral network and will coordinate all of your healthcare needs, including lab tests, diagnostic imaging, specialist care, and hospitalizations. We're here to provide you with the information you need in order to make sound decisions about your healthcare.
We invite you to request an initial meet and greet, at no cost or obligation, to meet with Dr. Seidman and our staff, and share what you’re looking for in a primary care practice, and learn about Dr. Seidman’s philosophy of care.
