Our Patients Are Saying…

My doctor, Dr. Brittany Love, is a very caring doctor, and as well as her staff, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable. And to make sure that you understand all issues that you have. I’m just comfortable in her care and that of her staff as well.

Everyone listened carefully to my concerns about my mother’s health and living arrangements and made clear suggestions on how to help her going forward.

The house call was a great relief. My mother doesn’t travel well and having the option for a home visit was/is amazing.

Dr. Ross is a true professional and a very caring doctor. You’re in good hands with Dr. Ross. HSC should be proud to have her.

Dr. Knebl and her staff are outstanding in their care for our father. Her technical skill and more importantly her compassion, extra time she spends with Dad to explain everything to him in a manner in which he can understand is so appreciated by the entire family. We are all so grateful for her and her entire staff.

More About Your Care Team

Primary Care Provider (Physician)
Your primary care physician leads your care team and serves as your main point of contact for managing your overall health. They coordinate your care across specialties, make complex medical decisions, and are responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide range of health conditions.

Advanced Practice Provider (APP)
An advanced practice provider is a nurse practitioner or physician assistant licensed in the state of Texas. Working closely with your physician, your APP provides preventive care, manages chronic conditions, and treats acute health issues to help keep you well.

Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
The licensed vocational nurse plays a key role in supporting your health between and during visits. LVNs assist with medication management, medical questions, and help explain test results so you can better understand your care.

Medical Assistant (MA)
Medical assistants help ensure you’re prepared for your visit and that you receive recommended screenings and preventive services. MAs can administer vaccines, and you may hear from them between visits for follow-up.

Clinical Social Worker
Your clinical social worker helps identify and address barriers that may affect your health—whether emotional, social, or practical. They can provide counseling or connect you with community resources to support behavioral health and social needs.

Resident
Residents are licensed physicians who are completing specialized training in their chosen field of medicine. Under the supervision of your primary care doctor and attending physicians, residents provide hands-on care and play an active role in your diagnosis and treatment.

Fellow
Fellows are physicians who have completed residency and are undergoing advanced training in a medical specialty. Fellows work closely with your care team to provide expert-level care while gaining additional experience in complex or focused areas of medicine.

Student
You may encounter medical, physician assistant, pharmacy, or other health professional students during your visit. These students are part of our academic mission and work under the close supervision of licensed providers. Their involvement enhances your care by bringing fresh perspectives and contributing to a collaborative team environment.

Center for Older Adults Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients start to see a geriatrician when they are 65 years old or older. Our Center for Older Adults team is specially trained to assist with cognitive and physical changes as the patient ages.

Medicaid Advantage Members are welcome to utilize our dedicated clinic for WellMed patients!

Qualifying patients must be 65 years or older and “homebound” due to mobility limitations, problems with transportation, or memory loss with behavioral issues. Patients can be homebound while living:

  • At home
  • In an independent living facility
  • In an assisted-living facility

For referrals, have your insurance information on hand and your discharge summary if recently hospitalized.

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or Dementia will include regularly scheduled meetings with the patient, the care team, a neuropsychologist, and the patient’s family to discuss what changes to expect over time.
