Who will I see?
You'll be seen by one of our nurse practitioners or physician assistants, who have experience in primary care and acute care settings. They work in collaboration with a licensed physician, as Texas law requires.
Do you prescribe controlled substances or pain medicine?
No. We don't prescribe or refill controlled substances, including opioid pain medicines, stimulants for ADHD, benzodiazepines, sleeping pills like zolpidem, and testosterone. If you need one of these medicines, we'll help you get set up with the right specialist and stay involved in the rest of your care. For pain, we look for the cause and offer non-opioid treatment options.
