Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I be seen for acute illness?
Most days, we can see you the same day you call. If you call in the morning, we often have afternoon appointments available. Even late-day calls can sometimes be accommodated. We prioritize acute illness because we understand you can't wait.
Do I need to be a current patient?
While we prioritize our established patients, we do see new patients for acute illness when our schedule allows. If you're new to our practice and need urgent care, call us and we'll let you know if we can fit you in.
What should I do if it's after hours?
For non-emergency situations after hours, you can leave a message and we'll call you back first thing in the morning to schedule same-day care. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Is this cheaper than urgent care?
Often yes. Most insurance plans cover sick visits to your primary care doctor with your standard copay—frequently less than urgent care copays. Call us for cost information specific to your insurance.
What if I need antibiotics or other prescriptions?
If your condition requires medication, we prescribe it and send it electronically to your preferred pharmacy. You can usually pick it up within an hour or two of your visit.
Do you accept walk-ins for acute illness?
We prefer appointments to minimize your wait time, but if you're very sick and nearby, call us and we'll let you know if we can accommodate a walk-in visit.
What if my symptoms get worse after my visit?
Call us immediately. If you're not improving as expected or if your condition worsens, we want to see you again right away. Your recovery is our priority.
How far is your office from Katy?
We're located at 20403 University Blvd Suite 400 in Sugar Land—about 15 minutes from most of Katy via Highway 99 or I-10 East. Easy access with plenty of parking.
