The department of Family and Community Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine has long been known for its comprehensive approach to patient care, service-oriented culture and modern systems, making Baylor Clinic the ideal setting for our private practice services.

Our private practice group, known as Baylor Family Medicine, offers generalist care to adults and children with any type of health concern, with an emphasis on timely appointments to address those concerns – including same-day visits in many cases. Today, we are pleased to offer adult care at Baylor Clinic, while continuing to see both adults and children at our Kirby location.

The Baylor Family Medicine team has always worked closely with Baylor College of Medicine specialists to optimize patient care and treatment. If we can't address the patient's problem, we will quickly identify a specialist who can. That approach is easier today – with more rapid results for our patients – thanks to the collaborative environment and proximity of disciplines within Baylor Clinic.

    This is my first visit to Baylor Clinic and I am very satisfied. I did not have to wait long to see the doctor. During my appointment she took her time, asking me questions. The employee at the front desk was very courteous and friendly.
