— The Practice
A clinic built around forty minutes, not fifteen.
Dr. Sonstein opened the practice on Mechanic Street in 2009 after a decade on staff at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The premise was simple: most primary care fails not because clinicians lack knowledge, but because they lack time. So she built a schedule that protects it.
Every new patient is allotted a full forty minutes. Returning visits run twenty-five. There is no conveyor belt, no physician assistant relay, no seven-minute slot dictated by a billing department three states away. You see the doctor you booked. She reads your chart before she walks in.
“I would rather see twelve patients well than thirty poorly. Galveston is an island — word travels.”
The practice is small by design: one physician, two medical assistants, and a front-desk coordinator who has been with the clinic since its first month. Lab draws are performed in-house. Most results return within twenty-four hours.
