Concierge Medicine & Private Primary Care in Bethesda, Maryland
Anchor Point is a small, membership-based primary care practice built around proactive, year-round physician care: a comprehensive annual health review, a personalized plan, planned follow-up, direct access, and a doctor who knows you well.
Founding Circle membership is limited to the first 75 adult members.
Why Anchor Point Exists
It began with the kind of physician relationship every Naval aviator understands: a trusted “Doc” who knows you, your work, your family, and what readiness truly means.
Every Naval aviator is assigned a Flight Surgeon. That physician is more than someone you see when you are sick. “Doc” becomes a trusted advisor, an advocate, and often the first call when a medical question arises—for the aviator or for someone in the family.
That experience stayed with me through emergency medicine, leadership at Walter Reed, and caring for senior leaders at the White House. Across very different settings, the common thread was the same: good medicine depends on trust, context, judgment, and personal responsibility.
“When something important happens, you should know exactly who to call.”
I created Anchor Point Medicine to bring that kind of relationship to individuals and families in Bethesda: a small practice where your physician knows you before an illness, injury, abnormal test, or difficult decision arrives.
A quiet, private medical office built for conversation, careful examination, and unhurried care.
Proactive by Design
Anchor Point is structured around proactive longitudinal care—not simply easier access when you need an appointment.
Each adult membership begins with a Comprehensive Annual Health Review: an unhurried, executive-style assessment of your history, risk factors, screening, medications, fitness, priorities, and goals.
That visit produces a personalized health plan for the year—what to test, what to track, what to improve, what to revisit, and when. A planned six-month progress review creates a formal checkpoint.
Between planned visits, Dr. Speicher follows results, referrals, preventive needs, and health goals as clinically appropriate. Direct access matters, but it is only part of the relationship.

A planned midyear visit to reassess progress, results, priorities, and next steps.
Ongoing attention to results, referrals, preventive care, and changing health needs.
Care
Emergency-medicine training adds practical breadth to primary care. Many problems that would otherwise mean urgent care, an emergency department, or another referral can often be evaluated and treated in the office.

Dr. Matthew Speicher
Dr. Speicher founded Anchor Point after a Navy career spanning aviation, emergency medicine, leadership at Walter Reed, and service as a White House physician.
An emergency physician practicing primary care brings a particular kind of breadth: comfort with undifferentiated symptoms, acute illness and injury, procedures, bedside ultrasound, and deciding what truly needs escalation. The goal is not to turn primary care into an emergency department. It is to bring that judgment into a longitudinal relationship where prevention, context, and continuity matter just as much.
The Moments That Matter
It is measured by what happens when your family needs judgment, reassurance, context, and a clear plan.
You have someone who can help decide whether this needs urgent care, the ER, the pediatrician, or watchful waiting.
You do not have to interpret it alone or wait weeks for a rushed explanation.
You understand why you are going, who may be appropriate, and what questions need to be answered.
Your physician already knows your history, priorities, family, and baseline before the conversation begins.
