Internal medicine specialist Dr. Tejas N. Mehta has a passion for delivering exceptional care to his patients. Dr. Mehta enjoys using his knowledge and experience to treat complex chronic conditions and to encourage patients to be active participants in their healthcare decisions and care. He says he truly earned his medical degree not by graduating from medical school, but by garnering the trust of his patients over the years. Dr. Mehta approaches each person with compassion and empathy, taking the time to ask questions, listen attentively, and explain diagnoses and treatments thoroughly. He favors conservative treatment options such as the judicious prescribing of medication. Patients often express appreciation for Dr. Mehta’s accessibility and responsiveness. They also value the friendliness and efficiency of his office staff, who are integral to positive patient experiences.

Dr. Mehta is proud of his local roots. Having grown up in Humble, he returned home to practice medicine after attending college and medical school out of state. Dr. Mehta now manages the Wellspire Medical Group, which was started by his father in 1985. He uses his keen interest in medical informatics—the synthesis of health care, information science, and computer science—to continuously improve both his clinical practice and Wellspire’s operations.

Outside of work, Dr. Mehta’s interests range from economics to sailing. He resides near the Houston Medical Center with his wife and two children.
