Welcome to FHP Geriatrics

Expertise + Relationships

Thanks for visiting FHP Geriatrics!  We are a primary care practice dedicated entirely to senior living facilities.

Innovative Care +

Old-Fashioned Compassion

We're Reconnecting Healthcare

Over 20 Years’ Experience

Relationships Matter

Health care is fragmented

As we get older, communication between the patient, their family, facility staff, hospitals,

and multiple healthcare providers is important to achieve optimal health and quality of life

Getting to the doctors office becomes expensive, difficult, and stressful

We are the only Visiting Primary and Multi-Specialty Care 
Bui
lt for Senior Living in the United States

We visit regularly, anticipate problems, and customize each Care Plan 

We take a fresh look at medicines, and get rid of unnecessary ones

  • 3D Care: We build care around an individual’s current needs and values

                     We build relationships with family and staff

  • Family Hotline: for quick response during business hours, and 

  • Patient Portal: you can review lab results, medications, and send messages 24/7

  • Clinical Performance Leaders: Our Team of Medical School Graduates

                     optimize care and proactively anticipate issues

Connections Matter

  • Long Term Connections: We can work with your trusted clinic-based primary care

                    We do the day-to-day heavy-lifting, refills, and orders

  • Hospital Connections:  We have privileges at all major Houston hospital networks.

                    When at the hospital, we access records and ensure timely and meaningful follow up 

  • Mobile Labs and Radiology: 7 days a week

  • Physicians Collaborative Network (PCN) is an exclusive group of specialist doctors that 
                   provides care, in person, or through Telemedicine, without leaving home

  • Location-Based Software: We notify you when the provider is On The Way

  • Dependable: Routine visits for each person are monthly, and we are in each area weekly

                    The more residents we see in a building, the less confusing for staff, and we visit more often 

  • Advanced Telemedicine: First in Texas to use Nonagon remote stethoscope, oximeter, and otoscope

  • Facility Staff: Text our whole team at 832-356-7878 during usual business hours.

                    We collaborate with a “hive” mentality. After hours, call 832-599-8336.  

  • After hours: and weekends we address only life-threatening issues

​​                        Other issues are addressed during regular hours, but you may send us notifications 24/7

  • Urgent Care: Many services are independent, and limited by insurance, location, staffing, and more. 

      If an issue worsens while waiting, please seek care at an urgent care or ER,

      contact mobile urgent care DispatchHealth at 713-422-2921, or

      24/7 Telehealth Urgent Care through Houston Methodist

Expertise Matters

Focused Care: Nurse Practitioners provide routine care with constant support and supervision by Double Board-Certified Dr. George Valdez, MD, MBA., a Houston native, with 20+ years of experience

  • Medical Cannabis: We are one of few experts in Medical Cannabis.

      Like a glass of wine for a fine meal, it may improve treatment

      It can be safer, more effective than other meds for pain, dementia behaviors , and neurologic issues

  • Palliative and Hospice Care: When going to the ER or hospital can no longer restore quality of life, confirm with us before hospice sign-up, to ensure your doctor stays in charge

MD’s and NP’s looking to collaborate with an organized team and strong support are invited to inquire 

Getting Started
