Meet Francisco J. Velazquez, MD
In Primary Care, the physician is your partner in achieving good health. We will work together so I can guide you and offer recommendations on how to obtain your health goals, but it is up to the patient to implement the plan. I believe that at any given age, you should know how well you are doing health wise, and not just go by how you feel. That’s why it is always important to get a comprehensive health exam every year.
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, the main building block is the personalized approach I take with each individual during their wellness exam. In order to prevent disease, I have to care for the patient as a whole, and not just review the laboratory results. Special areas of interest to me are high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol management. As a native of Puerto Rico, I am fluent in Spanish.

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 Francisco J. Velazquez, MD
Dr. Velazquez is great. Supportive, thorough, and thoughtful.
from Alta in TX • March 1, 2018
Dr. Velazquez is great. Supportive, thorough, and thoughtful. He even answers his phone! How many doctors do that. Both my husband and I have nothing but praise for him. Couldn't ask for a better primary care doctor.
In all honesty, he is the best physician
from Sylvia in TX • March 16, 2018
I have been seeing Dr. Velazquez for several years for general medical issues. In all honesty, he is the best physician I have ever had. He is very patient, explains medical issues clearly and simply, and shows understanding and compassion. He is thorough and never judges...rather, he presents the information that I should be following (in lifestyle, diet, etc.) with sensitivity and concern. Read more...
I have a lot of faith in his abilities and keep him as my primary physician.
from Robert • April 7, 2017
Dr Velazquez recently treated me for a problem that I had that was not reacting to treatment and he cured it with an alternate drug therapy. He also did that for another issue - bad prostrate test result - and I'm hopeful that will be corrected too. I have a lot of faith in his abilities and keep him as my primary physician, despite moving away from Houston. He's that good!
Dr. Velazquez has been my favorite doctor ever.
