How to Choose Concierge Primary Care in Franklin, MA
Franklin now has more than one membership-medicine option. This guide explains what concierge primary care actually includes, the questions worth asking any practice, and how DC Medical structures its care — so you can compare on substance, not marketing.
What concierge primary care includes
Concierge (or membership) primary care replaces per-visit billing with a flat monthly membership. In exchange, patients get direct access to their physician, longer unhurried visits, and proactive care that follows how you actually feel and function over time. Practices differ widely in what the membership covers — which is exactly why comparing is worth twenty minutes of your time.
Five questions to ask any concierge practice
- Who do you actually reach? Ask whether messages go to the physician or a triage layer, and how quickly.
- How long are visits? Membership medicine should buy time — ask for typical visit length, not the minimum.
- Is pricing published? A practice confident in its value states its monthly price in writing before you walk in.
- In-person, virtual, or both? Care should fit your week. Ask how the practice mixes office visits with virtual ones.
- What is out of scope? Labs, imaging, specialists, and hospital care are usually separate — ask how the practice coordinates them.
How DC Medical answers those questions
DC Medical is the Franklin practice of Dr. David Cunningham at 693 East Central Street, Suite 100. Care is delivered through published-price Peak Health memberships, with a deliberate mix of in-person and virtual visits:
- Peak Essentials — $499/month. The core concierge primary care membership: direct physician access, longer visits, in person and virtual.
- Peak Premier — $999/month. Everything in Essentials plus four regenerative medicine sessions each month.
- Peak Longevity — $299/month. An exclusively virtual longevity and prevention membership. It does not include primary care.
The practice also focuses on men’s health and hormone therapy — see men’s health in Franklin and hormone therapy in Franklin, or the full overview of concierge primary care at DC Medical.

What should I compare between concierge practices in Franklin?
