ABOUT THE PRACTICE

Complete Medicine was the first direct care endocrinology practice in Texas born from passion for excellent patient care and love for our patients. This model of care enables us to provide our patients with comprehensive, supportive care for their complex hormonal and metabolic conditions for patients in The Woodlands, TX and San Antonio, TX. It also enables us to help our patients navigate the hormonal misinformation that is permeating the internet.

We provide diabetes care and thyroid care. We provide medical weight loss and nutrition and lifestyle coaching. We also provide menopausal support and care, treatment for low testosterone in men and other hormonal conditions.

The goal of direct care endocrinology is to provide patients with more personalized and accessible care. We offer telemedicine for patients in The Woodlands, TX and San Antonio, TX and patients anywhere in the state of Texas. We provide long appointments, no waiting room time and convenient scheduling.

Insurance companies have broken down our healthcare system at the expense of doctors and patients. We are able to overcome this by contracting with the patient directly instead of with insurance companies. 

The traditional health insurance model strips doctors and patients of the time needed to build relationships and to deliver excellent health outcomes. 

We offer our patients straightforward pricing for visits and deep discounts on labs and imaging. 

The traditional insurance model provides fragmented care – we coordinate with our patients’ care team to ensure nothing gets missed.
