BellaireCare Direct Family Health, a primary care and concierge practice, will open soon in the Bellaire neighborhood of Houston.

The details

Owner and doctor Eric Blacher founded the practice with the intention to provide a personalized, accessible and comprehensive approach to healthcare—eliminating the frustrations of insurance, long waits and impersonal visits, he said in an email.

What they offer

BellaireCare will limit its patient panel to hundreds instead of thousands, allowing for a more intimate care model, per the email. This allows for benefits that include:
  • Unlimited access to a doctor, including on holidays and weekends
  • Extended, relaxed visits
  • Same-day and next-day scheduling
  • House calls
  • Technology access to connect with providers
What else?


The membership-based clinic will also provide comprehensive annual physicals; diagnostic and procedural services, such as EKGs, lesion treatments, body fat analysis and laceration repair; as well as wholesale labs and imaging.
