A clinic built
on listening.
Dr. Karthik Jayakumar, MD trained in internal medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and founded the Texas City practice in 2014 after a decade in hospital medicine. He brings a diagnostician's instinct to everyday primary care — the kind of attention usually reserved for inpatient work, now available in an outpatient setting on Palmer Highway.
The clinic was designed around a simple premise: that fifteen minutes is not enough time to practice good medicine. Standard follow-up visits run thirty minutes; new-patient consults run a full hour. The result is fewer unnecessary tests, fewer missed diagnoses, and a care plan you actually understand.
“I’d rather see ten patients well than twenty patients fast. The math works out the same — but only one version leaves people healthy.”
The practice accepts most major commercial plans along with traditional Medicare. Same-week appointments are the norm, not the exception, and the on-site lab means most results return inside twenty-four hours rather than the typical week-long wait.
