Frequently asked questions

Not quite — it’s its own thing. Private MD is a micropractice: a deliberately small, single-physician practice that brings together the best of direct primary care, concierge medicine, and longevity care in one place. You get the direct, unhurried access of DPC, the depth and advanced screening of concierge internal medicine, and a serious approach to prevention — led by a knowledgeable, experienced internist and former Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota faculty member. The small panel is what makes all of it possible.

Yes — a small, private practice where you work directly with your physician. Dr. Sahni personally guides your care: cardiovascular health, cancer screening, chronic disease, and longevity — with the time and continuity a rushed system can’t offer.

Likely a good fit if you want a small-panel practice with unhurried visits, like to be an active partner in your own health, have chronic conditions that benefit from attentive management, or want comprehensive screening for the diseases that matter — heart, cancer, brain, metabolic. Patients who are engaged and involved in their care tend to get the most from this kind of relationship.

Probably not a fit if you need pediatric care (we serve adults 18+), prefer a large insurance-based health system, or want traditional high-volume primary care.

Your care is led personally by an experienced internist and former Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota faculty member who still practices hospital medicine — so he stays sharp on acute and complex illness. The practice pairs that with proactive cardiovascular and cancer screening and longevity care, in a micropractice small enough to give every member real time. It’s primary care, concierge depth, and longevity under one roof, with one physician.

Our membership model isn’t insurance-based, but we work with Medicare patients in the Concierge program. The specifics are easiest to walk through on a short call.

Yes. Maintain a health plan for hospital stays, emergencies, specialists, and prescriptions. Many members pair this membership with a high-deductible or catastrophic plan.

Yes — mood, anxiety, sleep, and stress shape how you feel day to day and matter for long-term brain health, and they’re central to thoughtful internal medicine. Dr. Sahni manages these directly, as your physician who knows you. For deeper specialty needs — severe psychiatric illness, addiction, or intensive therapy — he coordinates with the right specialist and stays involved.

Yes. There is no long-term contract. You may cancel at any time with 30 days' written notice. There are no cancellation fees.
