Wellesley Family Medicine Physician Dr. David Dick Launches Concierge Practice
WellSpace offers whole-person care, same-day appointments, unrushed visits, and 24/7 physician availability
At a time when residents across greater Boston face weeks-long waits for primary care appointments, rushed visits, and increasingly crowded ERs,* Family Medicine physician Dr. M. David Dick is offering a different path forward with the launch of WellSpace Family Concierge Medicine in Wellesley.
“The concierge model allows me to be available to my patients whenever they need me,” said Dr. Dick. “And it means I can go well beyond treating urgent issues to serve as a true partner in health. I have time to listen, uncover and address root causes of illness, emphasize prevention and a whole-person approach. That simply isn’t possible within the constraints of a typical 15-minute primary care visit.”

Many compare the peace of mind as a concierge patient as similar to having a relative or close friend with a medical degree: a guarantee of prompt attention during and after hours, a knowledgeable advocate in a fragmented healthcare system, and a very personal interest in the long-term health of you and your loved ones. WellSpace patients describe the difference:
“I was seeking a doctor who would treat me as a whole person,” said S.A., Wellesley. “After years of not being taken seriously, Dr. Dick listened, advocated for me, and finally helped me get answers. I have never experienced this level of attention before.” Patient A.M. concurs: “I left my primary care doctor of 28 years and joined WellSpace. For the first time, I truly feel heard and listened to.”
Added M.S., Newton: “I have several specialists, and Dr. Dick acts as the hub in the center of the wheel. When I need something quickly, even outside normal hours, he always makes sure I’m taken care of. I just cannot say enough good things about Dr Dave!”
Longtime patient S.L. summed it up simply: “The concierge model makes such a difference. Appointments are easy to schedule, I’m never rushed, and the whole team is exceptionally attentive.”
For Dr. Dick, the concierge model provides a unique opportunity to help patients achieve long-term health by bringing together his training in family medicine, osteopathic principles, and lifestyle medicine. “I now have the time to thoroughly understand what each patient needs, and guide them toward optimal well-being in body, mind, and spirit,” he said.
