The pressure on Houston physicians.
Texas Medical Center-driven consolidation puts steady pressure on small primary-care owners.
Rapid in-migration is expanding the high-income patient base faster than the membership model has scaled to meet it.
Demand is outgrowing the number of concierge and DPC practices open to meet it, leaving open ground for physician-led practices to establish first.
Why the Private Physicians Alliance, in Houston.
Houston is one of the country's largest metros and a deep, fast-growing concierge market, shaped by the energy-sector executive base, the Texas Medical Center's specialty concentration, and steady in-migration. The tax climate and population growth keep pulling high-income patients into the city faster than concierge and DPC practices have opened to serve them. For an owner, that gap is the opening: real demand, and room to grow a panel without competing against a saturated field.
Membership is how you turn that opening into a practice that lasts. PPA gives Houston owners hospital-level purchasing rates that hold costs down as you scale, a national peer network running the same model, and field-tested playbooks, while ownership, your brand, and your fees stay with you.
- Group purchasing. Hospital-level pricing on supplies, labs, and services.
- Professional network. Direct access to a national network of 300+ members, 190+ physicians, plus the specialists who partner with them.
- Operational playbooks. Field-tested protocols for staffing, billing, and growth.
- CME at no extra cost. Included with every membership.
Lower bound of a 12-18% group-purchasing range. Results vary by practice.

A national network Houston physicians plug into.
Member practices across the country and abroad. Each marker is a member practice shown at city level only; practice names and details stay private.
Led by practicing physicians.
The Alliance is governed by physicians who own and run their own concierge and DPC practices, not a corporate board. Membership is reviewed by these peers.
The patient-physician relationship is foundational to our practice of concierge medicine, and remains my focus as the field continues to evolve.
The Private Physicians Alliance is a curated network of entrepreneurial concierge and direct primary care practices, along with the specialists who support this care model. The Alliance helps members grow and sustain their practices through shared knowledge, member benefits, global referral pathways, and access to trusted local and global resources.
Private Physicians Alliance vs. the alternatives.
A conversion program asks you to adopt its brand and model, cap your panel, and share membership revenue. The Private Physicians Alliance is different: a professional network you add on top of the practice you already own, keeping every bit of it.
A conversion program converts your practice and takes a share of your revenue. The Private Physicians Alliance is a vetted peer network you add on top of the practice you already own. Flat dues, no revenue share, no conversion.
| Dimension | Private Physicians Alliance | A conversion program |
|---|---|---|
| Your brand | Stays yours | You operate under their brand |
| Fees & revenue | You set them, keep 100% | Set structure, with revenue share |
| Panel size | Your call | Typically capped (~600 patients) |
| Practice conversion | None | Required |
| What you pay | Flat dues, from $5,000/yr | A share of membership revenue |
| What you get | Group purchasing, peer network, playbooks, CME | Brand + a patient-marketing system |
| What it’s for | Run a stronger, physician-led practice | Outsource the membership model |
Terms vary by program; this reflects the standard conversion model. The Private Physicians Alliance charges flat dues and never takes a share of your revenue.
Membership starts at $5,000.
One flat annual fee, scaled to your practice. No revenue share, and no per-patient cut.

Questions Houston physicians ask.
How do I join the Private Physicians Alliance in Houston?
Start with the two-minute fit quiz or contact the team. Membership is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. It's a vetted network, not a paid listing, so there's a short screening step. Once approved, onboarding is straightforward and membership starts at $5,000/year with no revenue share.
How much does membership cost?
Membership starts at $5,000 per year: one flat annual fee scaled to practice size, with no revenue share and no per-patient cut. You keep your brand, your fees, and 100% of your revenue.
Is the Private Physicians Alliance only for large concierge practices?
No. Membership starts at $5,000/year and scales with practice size, and the network spans solo physician-led practices alongside multi-physician groups, so a newer Houston practice and an established one each pay for what fits.
What does membership actually save a Houston practice?
Members get negotiated rates on supplies, labs, and operational services through group purchasing. For many practices, those line-item savings cover the annual dues within the first 90 days, before counting the value of the professional network, operational playbooks, and included CME.
I'm a specialist, not a primary-care concierge practice. Is there a place for me?
Yes. The Private Physicians Alliance includes specialists who partner with and serve concierge and DPC practices. Membership connects you to a national network of practices, in Houston and beyond, looking for trusted referral partners and the same operational leverage.
Do I have to be in a major metro to benefit?
No. The Private Physicians Alliance is national, and most of what it delivers, like group purchasing, playbooks, peer benchmarking, and CME, applies regardless of where you practice. The Houston focus is about connecting you with physicians running practices like yours, not a requirement to be in any particular city.
Is this concierge-only, or do DPC and hybrid practices fit too?
Physician-led concierge, DPC, and hybrid practices all fit. The value, like purchasing leverage, the professional network, and playbooks, applies across membership-based models, and the network deliberately spans the range.
How is the Private Physicians Alliance different from a conversion program?
A conversion program asks you to adopt its brand and model and share a cut of your revenue. The Private Physicians Alliance is a professional network instead. You keep your brand, your fee structure, and ownership of your practice, and membership adds purchasing leverage and a peer network on top of the practice you already run. It doesn't convert it or take a share of your revenue.
