    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does an internal medicine primary care physician treat?

    Internal medicine physicians treat routine illnesses, preventive care needs, chronic conditions, and general wellness concerns in adults, including annual physicals, screenings, sick visits, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and high cholesterol. They also coordinate your care, referring you to the right specialist when you need one and keeping your records in one place.

    When should I see a primary care physician?

    See a primary care physician for yearly checkups, new symptoms, ongoing health concerns, medication management, preventive screenings, and chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, or high cholesterol. Do not wait for a problem to get worse, because early visits often mean simpler treatment. For chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or another emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest ER.

    What is the difference between a primary care physician and an internist?

    Both care for adults over the long term. At Townsen Physician Group, our primary care combines family medicine and internal medicine, so you get the thorough, preventive attention you would expect from an internist in Houston, coordinated by one trusted team.

    Does Townsen Physician Group accept new patients?

    Yes, Townsen Physician Group accepts new adult patients. We welcome adults 18 and older who want primary care, but we do not treat children. Appointment availability may vary, so call (713) 843-7793 or request an appointment online to find the earliest time. Calling ahead also lets our team confirm your insurance and tell you what to bring.

    Can I schedule a same-week appointment?

    Yes, same-week appointments may be available depending on provider schedules and office availability. We also hold same-day slots open each weekday for adult patients who need a quicker visit, such as a new illness or a worsening symptom. Call (713) 843-7793 early in the day to confirm the earliest available appointment.

    What insurance plans do you accept?

    Townsen Physician Group accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, United Healthcare, BlueCross BlueShield, Medicare, HealthSmart, Cigna, and Superior HealthPlan. Coverage varies by plan, so contact our office to verify your benefits before scheduling a visit. Our staff can confirm what your plan covers, and self-pay options may be available for uninsured patients.

    Do you treat chronic conditions?

    Yes, Townsen Physician Group treats chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol, and other long-term health concerns. Your physician monitors your labs and symptoms, adjusts your treatment plan, manages your medications, and refers you to specialists when needed, so you do not start over at every visit.

    Do you offer preventive care?

    Yes, Townsen Physician Group offers preventive care, including annual physicals, health screenings, vaccinations, lab testing, wellness planning, and risk assessments. Preventive visits help your physician find problems early and update your screenings. Learn more about our annual physical exam.

    Do you accept walk-ins?

    Yes, we welcome walk-ins at our West Houston clinic, Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Walk-in availability depends on your provider’s schedule that day, so call (713) 843-7793 ahead to confirm an opening before you travel.
