Primary Care Doctor Accepting New Patients in Houston

To establish care as a new patient, call Townsen Physician Group or use the online form to request your first appointment. Our team will help you schedule your visit, complete new patient paperwork, and prepare for your first appointment.

Before your visit, you may also request that your medical records be transferred from your previous doctor. This helps your new provider review your health history, medications, past diagnoses, lab results, and any ongoing care needs.

For your first appointment, bring a photo ID, insurance card, current medication list, medical history, recent lab results if available, and contact information for previous doctors or specialists. You should also bring any questions or health concerns you want to discuss.

Having these items ready helps your provider better understand your health from the start. If you take prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, or supplements, bring the list or the bottles so your provider can review them accurately.

A new patient visit is usually longer than a routine follow-up because your provider needs time to review your health history, medications, current concerns, and care goals. The exact length can vary depending on your appointment type and medical needs.

During this first visit, your provider may discuss preventive screenings, chronic conditions, lab work, medication refills, referrals, or follow-up appointments. Scheduling a dedicated new patient visit gives your provider time to build a more complete picture of your health.

Yes. You can request that medical records from your previous doctor be transferred to Townsen Physician Group. These records help your new provider understand your health history, previous diagnoses, medications, lab results, imaging, specialist visits, and treatment plans.
