New Patient Information
Thank you for your interest in our practice. Patients new to our practice requesting an appointment for a consultation can call our office at 713-794-0700. Alternatively, you can e-mail us supplying the required information and we will call you to arrange an appointment.
Kindly remember that in certain circumstances, you will need to get prior approval from your insurance company before an appointment can be made. If not, there is the possibility that the cost of the consultation would be based on “out of network” benefits. Many patients are aware of this and are willing to pay the increased charges.
New patients that have been scheduled an appointment can download both the Medical History Form and Insurance Form and bring them with you the day of the appointment. This may reduce the amount of time filling out forms in the office.
Additional office forms available for review are listed below. Reviewing the forms may answer questions you have and avoid the need to call the office.

Hello, My aunt is very sick she had hepatiis c and did not know it so her liver got damaged. She was diagnosed about 2 yrs ago. She is in very bad shape now and all the doctors from San Marcos Tx have told her that theres is nothing that they can do for her anymore. She is a young woman with a 3yr old son. She has medicaid. All they also told her that she didnt qualify for a liver transplant. Please contact me this is our only hope. She is very sick..
I have a dear friend who was Dx'd w/liver disease a few yrs ago. She has had several incidents of severe itching which has turned into hives. Her drs are leaning toward allergic reaction to meds; but we are concerned it is related to the Hep C/liver disease. We know itching is common in liver disease, but does liver disease cause hives as well? We certainly appreciate your input as we need to resolve/get to the bottom of this situation. Many thanks!!!
