In South Florida, finding your provider team can be an ordeal: three-week waits for ten-minute appointments with doctors who barely look up from their screens. For residents who want actual relationship-based care, the shift toward Concierge and Direct Primary Care (DPC) has gone from luxury to necessity.
This guide is the product of hours spent combing local Facebook groups, neighborhood threads, and community forums across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach. Every name below was selected because a real local resident—often a retired nurse, a physician themselves, or a self-described “very picky” patient—specifically and repeatedly vouched for them.
Concierge vs. DPC: What’s the Difference?
- Concierge
- Annual retainer ($2,000–$5,000+). The practice typically still bills your insurance for visits, but the fee buys you same-day access, 24/7 availability, and a dramatically reduced patient panel.
- Direct Primary Care (DPC)
- Monthly membership ($75–$150/mo typical). No insurance billing—ever. Total price transparency and wholesale labs. Pair it with a high-deductible plan for comprehensive coverage.
- Solo vs. Network
- Multiple community members specifically noted their preference for solo practices. If joining a group, confirm you are assigned to one physician’s panel permanently before signing.
The Boca Raton “Picky Locals” List
These are the names that came up again and again when residents—including practicing physicians and retired nurses—were asked who they personally trust.
Dr. Sara Levine
“She’s attentive and thorough and her appointments are always on time.” — patient of 16 years
One of the most consistently recommended names across every thread. Patients describe a physician who is genuinely present during appointments, clinically meticulous, and—remarkably for South Florida—reliably on time. The 16-year retention rate speaks for itself.
ConciergeDr. Ben Soffer
“I am a retired nurse, very very picky… After getting diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at 65 I had to find a doctor who actually knew their sh-t. I interviewed four concierge doctors before I found him.”
That endorsement from a retired oncology nurse is about as strong as this community produces. Dr. Soffer is a board-certified DO with a whole-person philosophy and a reputation for genuine clinical depth. Also regularly recommended by the Boca Raton Medical Community group’s vetted providers program.
ConciergeDr. Stephanie Khouri
“I am a doctor myself… Dr. Khouri is truly exceptional. Incredibly warm and easygoing, yet highly knowledgeable and thorough in every aspect of care. Patients LOVE her.”
When a physician recommends another physician with that level of specificity, it carries real weight. Multiple community members independently echoed the same combination of clinical rigor and genuine warmth. Noted for never rushing appointments.
ConciergeDr. Stewart Kaskel
“Small private practice! Phenomenal doctor and staff. GREAT pricing! Extremely thorough and detailed physician!”
Repeatedly mentioned for transparent, affordable pricing in a category where costs are often opaque—unusual for a practice that also draws consistent praise for diagnostic precision and staff quality.
ConciergeDr. Prasanth Gogineni
“I’m a concierge physician in a solo practice—when you come in, you always see me. It is a small practice with 1/5 the patients of a normal practice.”
Part of the MDVIP network, but Dr. Gogineni addressed the solo-practice concern directly: his panel is intentionally small and patients see him personally at every visit. Also takes some insurance, making him one of the more accessible options on this list.
MDVIP ConciergeDr. Stephanie Gopie
“She is wonderful. She takes so much time with her patients and is very thorough.” · “Beautiful office right off Glades and does visits at Boca Regional.”
One of the most-mentioned names across multiple threads, with consistent praise for her unhurried approach and hospital-privileges access at Boca Regional. A strong option for patients who want a physician who bridges outpatient and inpatient care.
ConciergeDr. David Zekser
“Responsive, cares, spends time with patients, and a really good guy.”
A second MDVIP option with strong independent community backing. The consistent through-line in his reviews is responsiveness—a trait patients in this category rank as highly as clinical skill.
MDVIP ConciergeMedPrevent (Dr. Dominik Chrzan)
“Incredibly attentive service with spot-on medical results.”
Multiple independent recommendations with consistent language around attentiveness and clinical accuracy. Worth investigating for patients who prioritize proactive, preventive-focused medicine.
ConciergeDual-Specialty Providers: Concierge + Cardiology
Several of the most highly-regarded providers in the area also practice as cardiologists. For patients with cardiovascular risk factors, this combination—a concierge primary physician who can read your own EKG—is considered a significant advantage.
Dr. Craig Brodsky
“Craig Brodsky is a concierge doctor but also a Cardiologist, which to me is the winning combo.”
Mentioned across multiple threads for being “amazing and very thorough.” The concierge-plus-cardiology model is genuinely rare and particularly well-suited to South Florida’s patient population.
Concierge CardiologyDr. Martin Edep
“Dr. Martin Edep. Also a cardiologist.”
Independently recommended with the same dual-specialty appeal as Dr. Brodsky. If considering both, the choice may come down to panel availability and initial consultation fit.
Concierge CardiologyBoca Prestige Concierge (Dr. Awan & Dr. Eichler)
“So easy—everything in the office or at home! They are the best and I’ve worked with them in the hospital for years.” · “Two female MDs with privileges at Boca Regional. Personalized and holistic approach.”
One of the most frequently mentioned practices, with multiple independent endorsements. The dual-physician model means more availability, and hospital privileges at Boca Regional provide continuity if you’re ever admitted.
ConciergeDelray Beach & Boynton Beach: Worth the Drive
Several community members noted they drive 15–20 minutes north for these specific providers—a meaningful loyalty signal in this area.
Dr. Daniela Capota
“Dr. Capota is a godsend!! Absolutely the best of the best. She’s in Boynton but worth the drive!”
The word “godsend” appeared unprompted in multiple separate recommendations. Specifically noted for remembering detailed patient histories without consulting charts—a clinical signal that registers deeply with patients who have experienced the alternative.
ConciergeErin Bergin, APRN
“Erin Bergin in Boynton Beach.” — Recommended when asked specifically for the best primary care in the area.
Consistently mentioned alongside physicians, which speaks to the clinical respect she commands in the community. Praised for a holistic, thorough approach that doesn’t feel rushed.
ConciergeNYU Langone Primary Care
“The NYU Langone group is excellent in Delray—very professional.”
For patients who want the specialist referral network of a major academic medical center without leaving the area. Less boutique than the independent practices above, but meaningful institutional backing.
Hospital GroupDr. Ted Raptis
“Without a doubt—Ted Raptis at Raptis Medicine, East Boca.”
Named with unqualified conviction by multiple community members. East Boca location works well for residents along the coastal corridor.
ConciergeDirect Primary Care & Mobile Concierge
These providers operate outside the traditional insurance model entirely, offering transparent pricing, house calls, or a specific functional/preventive medicine focus.
Dr. Rachel Huerta
“Personalized, affordable access to primary care without the insurance middle-men.”
The go-to recommendation every time “affordable” or “no insurance” appeared in a thread. DPC Boca’s monthly membership model delivers relationship-based care at a fraction of concierge costs. Best paired with a high-deductible catastrophic plan.
DPCPrime Care VIP (Dr. Jarrod Frydman)
“Prime Care does house calls. So easy, reasonable, and great for the whole family.”
One of the most frequently mentioned mobile concierge options, appearing across multiple independent threads. Particularly popular for families, elderly patients, or anyone for whom leaving home is a barrier to care.
Mobile ConciergeUltimate Preventive Care (Katherine “Kathy” Perez, APRN)
Specifically recommended when a community member asked for a physician focused on “optimal health—not just normal ranges, but optimal.”
Provides concierge wellness in-home and in-office, with a clinical focus on hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and root-cause medicine. The go-to for patients who have outgrown “your labs are normal” primary care.
Mobile FunctionalMonica Atkinson & MedExperts
“Monica Atkinson is amazing—new and wonderful out at West Boca.”
A newer addition to the West Boca scene, generating enthusiastic early-adopter recommendations. Early signs are strong.
ConciergeThree Questions Every “Picky Local” Asks Before Signing
“Optimal” vs. “Normal” — Ask the doctor directly: do they treat to standard reference ranges, or optimize for your individual baseline and longevity goals? The answer reveals their clinical philosophy before you spend a dollar.
Verify Solo Access — In a group or network practice, confirm in writing that you are assigned to a single physician’s panel and will see that physician at every visit. This is the single most common point of disappointment in concierge medicine.
Use the Meet & Greet — Every provider on this list offers an initial consultation. Treat it as a mutual interview. Clinical credentials are table stakes; what you’re evaluating is whether this person’s instincts and communication style will make you a more proactive patient over time.
