Slack Family Practice

Slack Family Practice is a direct access primary care practice run by family medicine physician Dr. Melanie Slack. Patients pay an annual or monthly membership instead of billing insurance, which covers all office visits, and the practice keeps its patient panel small so appointments are not rushed. Services include routine check-ups and physicals, same-day urgent visits, management of chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, menopause hormone therapy, and prescription weight management.

The practice does not accept insurance. Membership is listed at $158 a month or $1,860 a year for an individual, with payment plans available. Members can reach Dr. Slack by call, text, portal messaging or email, and urgent calls are answered at any hour. The office is at 1694 Water Tower Way in Forest Hill, and new patients can start with a complimentary session by completing the interest form on the website.
