Curated Texan

Over the past 25 years, MD² has built the nation’s most distinguished, farthest reaching internal medicine group. In fact, MD² founded the category of concierge medicine and remains the most exclusive group of medical practices today.
With offices in Houston, Dallas and two in Austin (and plenty others from coast to coast), they might be your next smart choice for your health needs. Think of it as private jet travel, but for healthcare.
We all know that a medical doctor concierge practice, often referred to as concierge medicine or boutique medicine, is a healthcare model that offers personalized and premium medical services to patients who are willing to pay an additional fee for enhanced access and more individualized care. This approach represents a departure from the traditional fee-for-service healthcare system, where patients typically have limited time with their doctors and may encounter long wait times.
MD² understands that there are unique demands and challenges faced by ultra-high net-worth families; those who travel extensively, own multiple homes, and require the highest degree of privacy. They recognize that multi-generational planning goes well beyond investment strategies, tax and estate planning, and philanthropic decisions. It is about the continuity of a legacy and preserving the values of a family from one generation to the next.
“Our doctors have the ability to practice medicine in an ideal environment, developing close personal relationships and collaborating with the network of MD² specialists,” said MD² founder Dr. Howard Maron, former team doctor for the NBA’s Seattle Supersonics. “It is a tremendous gift for them to care for their patients as they would for their own family. This is healthcare as it should be with zero compromises.”
The bespoke MD² model of healthcare has been meticulously designed to circumvent the deficit of the healthcare system for those who demand excellence in all aspects of their lives. It is built around this ideology: provide the convenience, accommodation, and best-of-class service this niche of people can expect from every service provider in their life. The very nature of those relationships necessitated that they limit their practices to so few. This is why MD² physicians limit their practices to just 50 select families.
The unrivaled ratio of one physician taking care of just 50 families, allows each doctor the luxury of time to fully focus on each patient, be personally involved in all healthcare decisions and even accompany their clientele to consultations with specialists. It eliminates the assembly-line pace of the traditional medical care model, so every MD² doctor is available anytime, day or night to meet clients at their home, workplace or even the airport.
Personalized travel kits are also created for their highly mobile clientele. Patients have direct access to their doctor’s cell phone so in any situation, even when traveling, they are never alone. In critical circumstances, MD² families have the peace of mind knowing their doctor can arrange for emergency medical evacuations to the appropriate medical setting.
Since 1996, when they opened their first practice, they have remained consistent in their devotion to the founding tenets of MD². They have curated the highest caliber physicians, all of whom graduated at the top of their classes and are tied to the best medical institutions in the country. Through their network, they grant unmatched access to the nation’s best medical minds and world-class medical institutions anywhere, at any time.
