For nearly 20 years, Banner Peak Health has been at the forefront of transforming healthcare in Walnut Creek. What began as one physician’s mission to preserve the sacred doctor-patient relationship has evolved into something far greater: a multi-physician practice leading the advancement of what we call Concierge Medicine 2.0.
Our journey reflects a simple truth: when physicians are free to practice medicine without constraints, extraordinary things become possible.
OUR EVOLUTION
From Vision to Innovation
2007
The Beginning
Dr. Barry Rotman left traditional medicine to become the second concierge physician in Contra Costa County. His mission: preserve the physician-patient relationship and practice medicine without insurance constraints.
The Early Years
Proving the Model
Patients embraced this new paradigm and demonstrated they valued more than just convenient access. They wanted a physician who knew them deeply, had time to think critically about their health, and could coordinate comprehensive care without insurance limitations.
2022
Strength in Numbers
After 15 years of solo practice, Dr. Rotman recognized that the future of exceptional care required collaboration. The transition to a group practice brought together exceptional physicians who shared a common vision: to not just preserve great medicine, but to advance it.
Today
Leading Concierge Medicine 2.0
Banner Peak Health now stands as Walnut Creek's most experienced and innovative concierge practice. We've transcended the traditional boundaries of primary care by integrating advanced diagnostics, optimization protocols, and our groundbreaking Outperform program. This evolution allows us to address what we call "diagnostic deserts" — the health challenges that insurance-based medicine often overlooks.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Four Pillars of Excellence
Adaptive Excellence
Healthcare is not one size fits all. Our patient-first model gives us the freedom to adapt our approach to each individual’s unique needs, incorporating the latest advances in diagnostics and treatment without the limitations of medical insurance. From advanced cancer screening to metabolic optimization, we bring you proven healthcare innovations as they emerge.
Human-Centered Care
We’re physicians who remember what it’s like to be patients. This perspective drives us to practice Golden Rule Medicine — providing the same caliber of care we’d want for our own families. Every decision, every protocol, every interaction is guided by genuine concern for your wellbeing.
Collective Intelligence
Our group practice model creates a powerful multiplier effect. Physicians consult regularly, sharing insights and expertise. We maintain strong relationships with specialists and leverage our collective knowledge to solve complex health challenges. When you’re our patient, you benefit from the wisdom of our entire team.
Uncompromising Standards
We refuse to let “efficiency” or “productivity” metrics compromise care quality. Our commitment is to your health outcomes, not to volume targets or insurance requirements. This unwavering standard drives everything from our extended appointments to our adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
OUR PRACTICE
What Sets Us Apart
Beyond Traditional Boundaries
While excellent primary care remains our foundation, we’ve expanded far beyond traditional limits. We address the full spectrum of health, from urgent illness to disease prevention to performance optimization. Our physicians have the time, tools, and expertise to tackle complex challenges that others might dismiss as “normal aging” or “stress.”
Innovation Through Freedom
Operating independent of insurance constraints allows us to rapidly adopt technologies that truly impact health outcomes. When the Galleri multi-cancer detection test emerged, we didn’t wait years for insurance coverage. We made it available immediately. When continuous glucose monitoring showed promise for metabolic optimization, we integrated it into our practice. This agility keeps you ahead of the curve.
The Power of Prevention Plus
Prevention in our practice goes beyond annual screenings and basic bloodwork. We use advanced diagnostics to identify risks years before symptoms appear:
- Coronary calcium scans for precise cardiovascular risk
- Advanced metabolic panels catching prediabetes early
- Body composition analysis revealing hidden health risks
- Sleep studies uncovering barriers to optimal recovery
But we don’t stop at identification. We provide clear, actionable protocols for optimization.
A True Medical Home
In an era of fragmented healthcare, we serve as your trusted guides and advocates. We coordinate with specialists, review hospital care, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Our physicians are accessible 24/7 because health challenges don’t follow business hours. This is healthcare as it should be — continuous, coordinated, and always centered on you.
The Banner Peak Difference
With 18+ years pioneering concierge medicine in Walnut Creek, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. We’ve evolved from preserving excellent care to advancing it.
Our multi-physician model means shared knowledge, continuous coverage, and diverse perspectives on your health challenges.
We don’t chase trends. We carefully select and implement technologies that deliver meaningful health improvements.
Through our Outperform program, we’ve created a community of individuals committed to optimal health, because transformation is more powerful when shared.
