FAQs


 

Patients are seen on an appointment basis. Our friendly office staff will help you find an appointment time to fit your busy schedule. Appointments are usually available on a same-day basis. We encourage you to schedule your appointment with your established physician to ensure continuity of care. However, if your physician is not available and you must schedule with our other physician, you can feel confident that you will still receive top-notch care.

What if I have an after-hours emergency?

There is always a physician available after business hours to handle your urgent medical problems. You can reach the on-call answering service at 281-346-0018. We ask that you use this service only for non- life-threatening medical emergencies that cannot wait until the following business day. If there is a life-threatening emergency, please contact 911 or go directly to your nearest emergency room.

Which insurance plans do you accept?

Fulshear Family Medicine participates with most major insurance companies. If you have questions concerning your coverage, please call us at 281-346-0018 and our friendly office staff will gladly answer your questions.

How do I gain a referral to a specialist?

In order to familiarize your primary care physician with your conditions and to improve communication with the specialist, we ask that your problem be evaluated by our office first. We will then be happy to refer you to the specialist of your choice or recommend one if needed.
