Through education, one-on-one support, and his unique functional and integrative approach to medicine we will work together to achieve your individual health goals—whether that’s managing a chronic condition and minimizing its effect on your daily life, improving your health with lifestyle modifications, decreasing or eliminating medications you are on, or simply becoming the best version of yourself, mind, body and spirit...

  • Personalized Care

    I practice concierge medicine because I believe in providing a level of care that is not only comprehensive but also compassionate and accessible. In this model, my patients benefit from extended appointment times, allowing us to delve deeply into their health concerns without the pressure of a ticking clock. You won’t feel like just another name on a list; instead, you’ll experience the genuine care and attention that you deserve.

  • Comprehensive Services

    In my office, you can expect a host of optional add-on services that will be tailored to your needs, including urgent care, preventive medicine, and advanced diagnostic testing. We offer a range of options such as microbiome mapping, DUTCH testing, and allergy testing, alongside minor procedures, customized IV therapy as well as the most advanced hyperbaric oxygen chamber with bespoke treatment plans. All of this is provided in a beautiful and welcoming environment designed to enhance your overall experience (for an additional cost).

    Dr. Skinner’s Concierge Medicine prioritizes your care and comfort. And make myself available to prioritize your health. Together, we’ll redefine what healthcare can be—one that is truly centered on you.

Meet Your Doctor

Hello! I’m Dr. David P. Skinner, MD, PhD, MBA, FMHC and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my Concierge Medicine practice with the unique benefit of my brick-and-mortar medical facility, Immediate Care Arizona. As an Arizona native, I’m passionate about providing patient-centered care that’s personalized just for you.

Join Dr. Skinner’s Concierge Medicine, where your care is always the priority, and together, we’ll redefine what healthcare can do for you. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey to better health.

  • My journey in medicine began at Arizona State University, where I earned a degree in science and a traditional MBA. I went on to complete my MD and PhD at the University of Arizona, gaining invaluable experience at local hospitals. I’ve always believed in a more holistic approach to healthcare—one that addresses not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well.

    Early in my career, I founded Southern Arizona Urgent Care, which grew into a network serving over sixty thousand patients annually. After selling the platform, I was inspired to create something even more meaningful: Immediate Care Arizona. This facility is more than just a medical office—it’s a sanctuary designed for healing, where you’ll feel relaxed, valued, and engaged in your care.

    With my Concierge Medicine practice, I take the time to truly listen to your concerns and co-create a personalized care plan that fits your lifestyle. And if needed or desired you have the added benefit of utilizing all of the benefits that my Medical facility has to offer from urgent care and advanced diagnostics to customized IV therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments, every service is tailored to enhance your well-being in a welcoming, spa-like environment.

    As a husband and father, I understand the importance of balancing health with life’s demands. My commitment is to guide and support you on your journey toward optimal well-being, ensuring that you feel empowered to make informed health decisions.

Is Concierge Medicine Right For You?

Concierge medicine, also known as boutique or retainer-based medicine, offers a personalized and comprehensive healthcare experience. Patients pay an annual fee or retainer to have enhanced access to their physician, including longer appointments, 24/7 communication, and a more holistic approach to care.

Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Personalized Attention: If you value having more time with your doctor and a customized approach to your health, concierge medicine might be a good fit. Physicians in this model often manage fewer patients, allowing them to focus more an individual’s care or overall health goals.

  2. Accessibility: Concierge medicine offers greater accessibility, with same-day or next-day appointments, and the ability to contact your physician directly by phone, email, or even text. If you appreciate having this level of access, it could be a significant advantage.

  3. Preventive Care Focus: Many concierge doctors emphasize preventive care, wellness, and chronic disease management. If you're proactive about your health and interested in a more holistic, preventive approach, concierge medicine may align with your priorities.

  4. Cost Considerations: While the annual fee for concierge medicine can vary, it is an out-of-pocket expense that is not covered by insurance. If you're willing and able to invest in your health in this way, it could be a worthwhile expenditure. However, it’s important to consider whether this model fits within your budget.

  5. Satisfaction with Current Care: If you’re dissatisfied with traditional healthcare models—due to long wait times, rushed appointments, or impersonal care—concierge medicine may provide the level of service and attention you’re seeking.
