We are dedicated to developing and maintaining strong working relationships with referring healthcare professionals and to making the referral process as efficient as possible. Referring physicians can reach us at the main number (713) 798-1000 or use our Find a Physician tool.

We also understand the importance of the relationship that you have with your patient. We seek to honor that relationship by providing the best possible care for your patient and by keeping you apprised of your patient's care. And, whether for a second opinion, diagnostics, surgery, treatment, a single consultation or transfer of care, we value the trust you place in us each time you refer a patient. We look forward to working with you.
