3 Physicians Selected to 2014 Top Doctors

on .

Associates in Medicine is honored to have 3 physicians selected to the annual Houston's Top Doctors list assembled by H Texas for 2014.  Every year, H Texas invites physicians in the Houston area to select the best physician amongst their peers.  Being recognized as one of the best in Houston is a daunting task given the level of medical care available in the our area.  As described by H Texas:

"Houston is home to the world's largest concentration of research and health-care institutions. With countless medical doctors, only a small percentage can be named Top Doctors. H Texas has searched the masses to identify physicians known for excellence in a city famous for breakthroughs in medicine. From an initial diangosis to a lifetime of care, these docs work tirelessly and deserve recognition."

We are proud to say that 1 out of every 10 Internal Medicine physicians selected to this list were from Associates in Medicine.


Our selected physicians include:

John Posey, Jr., MD, PhD, FACP
Scott A Lisse, MD
Ronnie A. Sheena, MD

Laboratory Results Now Available on Patient Portal

on .

Effective today, May 6th, 2013, laboratory results will be available for viewing on the Patient Portal.  This change does not apply to tests such as CT, MRIs, DXA scans and other diagnostic tests - this only applies to blood and urine tests.  

A number of factors may delay the posting of your results.  Please allow 14 business days (~3 weeks) for your results to appear on the Portal.  

Once your physician has reviewed and approved your laboratory results, the results will appear on the patient portal.  You may find that your physician has commented on the results at the bottom of each page just below the result values. 

We hope that you find this new feature a valuable tool to help you keep track of your laboratory results and enhance your relationship with your physician.
