Just to tail off this and explain the business model, searching for “direct primary care” is a good way to find this type of physician.

A lot of these smaller shops start under the “DPC” label to build up a client base, charging something like $75-150/mo for unlimited primary care services. When the practice starts to hit its limits, they close off new patient signups, and start offering “concierge” signups at ~4x the DPC rate. The concierge patients are basically the whales who make the business model profitable (and I don’t mean to use that label as a pejorative).

Huh, that business model honestly makes a lot of sense and -- ignoring the time component -- could be helpful for accessibility. My doctor has flat pricing for all members (he makes it public on the site, and included advance notice of an increase in his newsletter), but it is way out of reach for most folks. Not that 300 members goes that far either, but it's tough.
