Meet Bruce C. Patterson, MD


My passion as a primary care physician is to provide you with personalized care and attention with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. Lifestyle modification is emphasized and medicine prescribed as necessary, the former more effective than most people realize. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my 30-plus years in private practice. Some of my professional interests and areas of focus include high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and, for select patients, weight loss. 

As one of the few family medicine doctors in Houston, Texas, offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide care that can help patients avoid needless trips to emergency rooms and urgent care centers, which are inherently inefficient and far too expensive. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. Also, knowing you well enables me to get right to the source of the problem without becoming bogged down in excessive and meaningless data entry requirements. I do not use a computer when seeing patients. 

My primary care practice is located in Houston, Texas, and currently serves West Houston, The Energy Corridor, The Memorial Villages, Alief, Katy, Sugarland, Spring Branch, Bear Creek and Cypress. I am affiliated with West Houston Medical Center and am fluent in English and French.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Bruce C. Patterson, MD

A Crazy Cat Man!

from Susan in TX • March 10, 2024
Dr. Patterson is an excellent doctor, particularly a good diagnostician. But one of the things I enjoy most is when we talk "cats!" He has had numerous cats over the years, as have I. We both love our cats like little furry children, and it is a pleasant experience to talk with a doctor about something non-health-related. It makes him more "human" and accessible. Going to Read more...

Dr. Patterson has been my principal GP for over 4 years. I have enjoyed this relationship, as he is a very thorough and knowledgeable physician. I feel extremely confident that Dr. Patterson is only a phone call away. I have had to call him after office hours and he would respond to my phone call or texts in a very timely manner. I have never felt rushed during office visits. Dr. Patterson Read more...

My Doc

I love having a doctor I know cares about my healthcare. The fact that he sees me that day gives me a feeling of security. Also to know if my out of town daughter and grandson get sick he can see them.

In Doctor Patterson I Trust

I have been a patient of Dr. Bruce Patterson since my 20s. I feel very lucky to have a found a physician that I trust and can rely on giving me the kind of health care I need. Dr. Patterson doesn't just treat symptoms; he delves into the root causes. He takes the time to understand my lifestyle, anxieties, and overall well-being, painting a complete picture of my health. He explains complex Read more...

Dr. Patterson has been my primary physician for decades with good reason.

from Rosemary • April 3, 2019
Dr. Patterson has been my primary physician for decades with good reason. Even before becoming part of the MDVIP program, he was always available and compassionate. His approach is to treat the whole patient, not just the presented symptom. He is conservative in his approach also and, as someone who doesn't expect pill magic every time, I very much appreciate it. His followup up is Read more...
