Dr. David Albenberg

Having received his B.A. from Tufts University and his M.D. from Temple University, Dr. Albenberg continued his southerly descent to Charleston, SC to pursue a residency in Family Medicine and subsequently enter private practice. Considering himself a premature casualty of a broken system, he retreated from a high-volume, traditional practice in December, 2002. Out of both hope and desperation, he envisioned and founded Access Healthcare, LLC, South Carolina’s first free-market “Direct Care” practice in early 2003.

As an inadvertent by-product of the practice’s success, Dr. Albenberg has become passionate about the future of consumer-driven primary care and now endeavors to convey the confidence of these successes to his struggling contemporaries and patients looking for better options. In this vein, in January of 2004 he founded the National Organization of Retail Medicine (NORM), which then merged with the American Society for Concierge Physicians (ASCP) to form SIMPD – the Society for Innovative Medical Practice Design where has served on the board of directors for six years. His recent speaking engagements have included the AAPP, AAPS, The Bastiat Society, Primed and MGMA.
