Serving greater Houston
Concierge metabolic health for Houston executives
1836 Wellness is a telehealth metabolic practice serving patients throughout Texas, including Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland and Cypress. There is no clinic to drive to. A licensed phlebotomist draws your blood where you already are, and every consultation happens by telehealth.
Houston is the largest single concentration of patients the practice serves, and the commute into the Texas Medical Center is the most common reason people put off the blood work that would have told them something useful years earlier.
What availability actually looks like in greater Houston
More than one national lab network, not just one
Quest is live and LabCorp is live, so a greater Houston patient is not tied to whichever network happens to sit closest to them. Clinical Pathology Laboratories is onboarding and will widen that further. Most concierge practices contract with a single lab and route every patient through it.
Mobile draw across the metro, not just the urban core
Two mobile phlebotomy partners, Getlabs and Filos, are both live and both cover greater Houston. A phlebotomist comes to your home, your office, or a hotel. Nothing about your care requires you to drive to a patient service centre at all.
Care is delivered by telehealth, so there is nothing local to visit
1836 Wellness is a telehealth practice serving patients across Texas. Your consultations happen wherever you are. Being in greater Houston changes the logistics of your blood draw and nothing else about your care.
Why multi-network coverage is the point
A comprehensive panel is only useful if you actually get the draw done, and then get it done again to see whether the intervention worked. Single-lab practices lose patients at exactly that second draw. Running several national networks alongside two mobile partners means a follow-up draw is a scheduling question rather than an obstacle.
Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth together are about half the population of Texas, and the four metros the practice serves are just over two thirds of it. No metro is treated as an exception.
What the lab footprint in greater Houston actually looks like
Counted in August 2026 from each company's own public location directory, across the whole greater Houston metropolitan statistical area:
| Network | Draw locations listed |
|---|---|
| Quest Diagnostics | 58 |
| Labcorp | 42 |
| Clinical Pathology Laboratories(onboarding, not yet live) | 22 |
These are counts of what each company lists in its own directory as of August 2026, not figures published by the companies. They cover the full metropolitan statistical area rather than any radius, so they describe reach, not proximity. The three networks also define a location differently: Labcorp's total mixes standalone patient service centres with draw sites inside Walgreens stores, and Clinical Pathology Laboratories mixes standalone sites with hospital- and clinic-embedded draw stations. Labcorp's standalone patient service centres in greater Houston number 39, which is the closer like-for-like comparison.
Who this is built for in greater Houston
greater Houston carries 3,521,500 nonfarm jobs as of June 2026.
Trade, transportation and utilities is the largest supersector at 19.9 percent, followed by professional and business services at 16.5 percent, education and health services at 13.4 percent and government at 13.2 percent.
Mining and logging is only 2.1 percent by headcount, but it is the one supersector that separates Houston from the other three metros: it is the upstream energy employment that anchors a large high-income professional base. That base is exactly the population that gets an annual executive physical, is told everything looks fine, and still does not feel right.

Where to start
Most people arrive here after a physical that checked a dozen markers and told them everything looked fine. The Executive Panel explains what a comprehensive panel measures, and how it works walks through the sequence from draw to protocol.
If you would rather read first, the 1836 Dispatch covers why conventional reference ranges miss so much, and the clinical team page names the licensed clinicians and the supervising physician behind every protocol.
