Internal medicine, practiced with patience.
01 — The Practice
A small clinic built around the conversation — not the clock.
Dr. Matthew J. Hay, MD opened his Texas City practice on a simple premise: that good medicine happens when a physician is given time to listen. Appointments here run forty minutes, not twelve. Questions are encouraged. The chart is read in the room with you, not after you leave.
Board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Hay trained in Galveston and has cared for adults across the Gulf Coast for more than a decade. The focus is primary care for grown-ups — preventive visits, complex chronic disease, and the kind of diagnostic puzzle that doesn’t resolve in a single visit.
The clinic is intentionally small. One physician. Two medical assistants. A front desk that picks up the phone. No patient is rushed out the door so the schedule can catch up, and no one is handed a bill they weren’t told about up front.
Most insurance is accepted, but a transparent cash price is published for every service so patients without coverage — or with high deductibles — know exactly what they’re paying before the visit begins.

03 — Our Method
Four commitments we keep with every patient.
Plate 02 / The Method
Time, honesty, and the same physician every visit.
Forty-minute visits, always
New-patient appointments are scheduled for a full forty minutes — long enough to actually hear the story, not just the chief complaint.
Prices published up front
Every service has a cash price listed on the website and in the waiting room. No patient learns what they owe after the fact.
One physician, end to end
You see Dr. Hay at every visit. The same physician who knows your history reads your labs, returns your messages, and adjusts your care.
Direct line between visits
Established patients get a secure messaging line for non-urgent questions. Most replies come back the same business day.
In-house labs & EKG
Blood work and electrocardiograms are drawn and read on-site. Most results are back to you within forty-eight hours, reviewed in person.
Insurance accepted, not required
We accept most major plans — and we also see patients who pay cash. Either way, the price is the same and it’s never a mystery.
Adults only — and we mean it
The practice is internal medicine, age sixteen and up. That focus lets us go deep on adult chronic disease instead of treating everyone.
Same-week scheduling
Most new patients are seen within four business days of calling. Sick visits for established patients are worked in the same morning.
