Medical Clinic of Houston, L.L.P. was founded in 1968 by the merger of two practices, comprised of nine physicians. As the original practices grew, physicians and specialized services were added to our facilities resulting in today's medical complex. The Clinic specializes in Internal Medicine and also offers the following various sub-specialties: Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology and Medical Oncology. Our goal is to provide excellent medical care in a caring and service-oriented environment while utilizing the latest medical technology.
Office Hours and Appointments
Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointment scheduling, test reports, requests for new or changes to existing prescriptions, or other general questions are handled during regular office hours. For insurance and billing questions, representatives are available between 9:00 a.m and 5:00 p.m.
For more personal service, and since some physicians begin seeing patients as early as 7:30 am, appointments are made by each physician's staff. Patients should contact their physician's staff to arrange for a convenient appointment time. New patients calling to schedule an appointment, who do not have a Clinic physician, may call (713) 526-5511 ext 3130 for a physician referral.
After Hours Care
Patients needing urgent medical care when the Clinic is closed may reach their physician (or the physician designated to take his/her calls) by dialing the main Clinic telephone number, (713) 526-5511. The Clinic's answering service will contact the physician on call. When calling after hours, have your pharmacist's telephone number available and remove any incoming call blocks from your phone line so that phone calls can be received.
Prior to your first appointment, we will attempt to reach you by phone for registration. If registration by phone is inconvenient or we have not been able to contact you in advance, please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that this process can be finalized before your appointment time.
Reminder: Bring your insurance card with you to your first appointment or whenever your coverage changes.
Prescription refills for all Clinic doctors are handled by a central prescription desk. To request a refill, contact your pharmacy. The pharmacist will contact the Clinic for you and can obtain authorization for prescription refills from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you need a change to your dosage or quantity of medication, please contact your physician's office.
To meet the health needs of the global traveler, we provide pre-travel evaluations in order to identify health risks and evaluate a patient's fitness for travel - thus minimizing the risk of health problems abroad in an unfamiliar healthcare delivery system. Several of our physicians are certified to administer international vaccinations for travel.
