- RheumatologyRheumatology is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of medical diseases of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. After earning a medical degree, doctors complete a residency program in internal medicine, then another two to three years in specialized rheumatology training. Although traditionally thought of as dealing primarily with joint diseases such as arthritis, doctors trained in rheumatology (“rheumatologists”) possess expertise in evaluating and managing a wide spectrum of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, including systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that may also involve other organ systems.
- Primary CareA MCH Hospitalist will be in charge of your care while you are in the Houston Methodist Hospital. Working as a team, MCH Hospitalists collaborate with your primary care and subspecialty doctor(s) at MCH to manage your care from the time you are admitted until discharge. Because of their rotating schedule, you may see more than one Hospitalist during your hospital stay. Upon discharge your Hospitalist will discuss any significant findings or events with your MCH doctor(s).

- Infectious DiseasesIn order to reduce the risk for transmission of airborne infectious diseases, the Satellite Clinic has been re-engineered to mechanically provide a negative pressure environment, which is commonly used for infection control to ensure infectious germs are not spread through an air conditioning system. Negative pressure causes more air to be removed from the room than that which is allowed into the room.

- GynecologyA gynecologist is a physician who focuses on the female reproductive system and specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs. The word “gynecology” comes from the Greek gyno, gynaikos meaning woman + logia meaning study, so gynecology literally is the study of women. These days gynecology is focused largely on disorders of the female reproductive organs.
- ObstetricsTo become a gynecologist, a person must train first as a doctor for 4 years, then specialize for another 4 years in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Passing a further examination will enable them to be certified and registered. A qualified gynecologist should be certified by an examining body, such as the American Board of Gynecologists (ABOG) and registered by a professional organization, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

- Mammography3-D mammography is an advanced form of mammography, a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose x-rays to detect cancer early when it is most treatable. Also called Breast tomosynthesis, three-dimensional (3-D) mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), is an advanced form of breast imaging, or mammography, that uses a low-dose x-ray system and computer reconstructions to create three-dimensional images of the breasts. Breast tomosynthesis aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast disease, especially in those with dense breast tissue.
- Computed TomographyPatients scheduled for certain procedures including, but not limited to, CT Scans, MRIs, Nuclear Cardiology Studies, and Echocardiograms, will be responsible for making payment arrangements for the self-pay portion of the study prior to the test being performed. This includes the estimated amount that will be owed due to your annual deductible, coinsurance, non-covered services, frequency limitations, or lack of medical coverage.
- ChemotherapyThese specialists also lead the development of the cancer patient’s treatment plan, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy, while also coordinating with other oncology specialists and clinicians who may have a role in the patient’s care.
