The health care landscape looks very different from when the practice started 40 years ago. Patients navigate an enormous amount of complexity, making proper guidance essential. More than ever, Wellspire Medical’s commitment to the community, in which they built the business, resonates loudly.

Founded in 1985 as a family-owned practice in Humble, Wellspire has evolved into a multi-specialty medical group serving the Greater Houston area. As patients' needs have changed, the practice has expanded its services while preserving personal relationships that have defined it for four decades.

A hometown foundation

Wellspire’s roots trace back to 1985, when Dr. Navnit Mehta founded his practice. After completing medical training, his son, Dr. Tejas Mehta, returned to his hometown to take the reins. Today, he blends local pride with expertise and a passion for medicine and business. He leverages this know-how to streamline operations and enhance patient care.

As health care has grown complex, Dr. Mehta has expanded the organization’s leadership to guide the group’s expansion, always with a patient-first approach.

“As the organization has grown, our responsibility has grown—we’re still serving the same communities, just in more ways,” Dr. Mehta said.

Though rebranded as Wellspire Medical to reflect its growing footprint across Greater Houston, it remains focused on its roots. Its headquarters is in Humble, reminding everyone that no matter how much it grows, the organization belongs to the community.

Collaborative care across specialties

While primary care remains the foundation of Wellspire Medical, the practice has naturally expanded over the years by adding specialties patients frequently need. Today, Wellspire offers specialties including:

  • Primary Care
  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pulmonology
  • Dermatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Ophthalmology
  • Podiatry
  • General Surgery
  • Urology
Having providers from multiple specialties within one group allows physicians to coordinate care more effectively. Instead of patients acting as the go-between for different providers, primary care physicians can serve as the central coordinator, helping patients receive objective guidance while collaborating with specialists. Their providers share one electronic medical record system, streamlining delivery of care through the sharing of notes, labs, and imaging.

What growth means for patients

Despite expanding with locations in Atascocita, Cypress, and beyond, Wellspire remains independent, with no private equity or hospital ownership influencing patient care. That autonomy allows providers to make decisions based solely on what they believe is best for patients.

That independence gives the organization clinical freedom—allowing every decision, from staffing to service expansion, to be guided by patient needs rather than outside investors or system mandates.

“Every decision we make comes down to one question: What’s best for the patient in front of us, not what’s easiest for the system,” Dr. Mehta said.

Over the past year, Wellspire has modernized the patient experience by expanding online scheduling, launching a provider referral hotline, and doubling staffing at its central call center—efforts to reduce wait times and improve access to care.

For patients, these improvements mean faster connections to care, fewer administrative delays, and a more streamlined experience with multiple providers.

The goal is to combine the warmth and accessibility of a community clinic with the resources, coordination, and efficiency of a larger medical group.

A people-first approach

At Wellspire, exceptional care starts with the people providing it. When hiring physicians and staff, leadership says the first quality they look for isn't a specialty or credential—it's empathy and a genuine desire to help others.

That philosophy extends beyond the exam room. Even as the practice has grown into a multi-specialty medical group, leaders say they remain committed to ensuring patients never feel like just another appointment or chart number. Instead, providers strive to build lasting relationships rooted in trust, familiarity, and personalized care.

"We're invested in the communities we serve because these are our people," Dr. Mehta said.
