Patients come from Montrose, Upper Kirby, Midtown, River Oaks, West University, Rice Village, and the Texas Medical Center. A large share have just moved to Houston, finished training, or changed jobs and are looking for a primary care doctor for the first time in years.

Heat & dehydration risk
Heat and dehydration strain the whole body — limit midday exertion, stay in shade or air conditioning, and check on older or vulnerable people. If you take medications that affect hydration or blood pressure, ask your care team how heat changes your plan.

What we treat
Common reasons to schedule include new symptoms, abnormal labs, uncontrolled chronic conditions, and second opinions on complex cases. Tap a category to see the full list.
Why patients choose us
Independent, board-certified family medicine — the same physician every visit. No hospital committee, no rotating residents.
Dr. Manning and Dr. Samani both see primary care patients on Richmond Ave. If yours is booked and something urgent comes up, the other can see you without you starting from scratch.
Richmond Ave is a short drive from the TMC, Midtown, and Downtown, with free surface parking at the door — close enough for a lunchtime visit without a hospital garage.
Many new patients here have just moved to Houston or finished training. We handle the records transfer, get your screening back on schedule, and become the doctor you actually have.
Local care details
Storm season is a medication problem first. If you take something daily — blood pressure, thyroid, diabetes, mental health, contraception — do not let the supply run down to the last few days during an active season, and know which of yours needs refrigeration if the power goes. Inner-loop flooding closes the streets around Richmond and the Southwest Freeway quickly, so call before a forecast event rather than during it. Refills are usually handled in one call.
Most primary care runs on standard bloodwork — metabolic panels, A1c, lipids, thyroid. What matters is that results are back before your follow-up so decisions are made on current numbers. Imaging or labs done elsewhere in the Medical Center can be released to this office and reviewed rather than repeated; bring the report or have it sent ahead of your visit. Blood draws are done on site at 1724 Richmond Ave — most routine labs are collected during your visit, so there is no second trip to an outside draw station.
Cost & insurance
In-network with most major commercial plans, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Texas Medicaid. Don’t see your plan? Our benefits team can verify coverage on the spot — most calls take under a minute.
Frequently asked
It is roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive depending on traffic — take Main Street or Fannin north, then the Southwest Freeway west to Richmond. Parking is free and on-site at 1724 Richmond Ave, which is usually the part that saves time compared with a visit inside the Medical Center itself.
Book a new-patient visit at 1724 Richmond Ave and bring your medication bottles plus any records you have. We handle the records request from your previous physician, catch up any screening you are due for, and set a follow-up interval. Both physicians here are accepting new patients.
Yes — free surface parking at the building, no garage and no validation needed. That is one of the practical differences between this office and a visit inside the Texas Medical Center, where parking is paid and often the longest part of the trip.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol cause no symptoms for years, and both are far easier to treat before they cause damage. A baseline visit establishes numbers to compare against later, which is the entire value of screening in an otherwise healthy adult who feels well.
Yes. Established patients anywhere in Texas can use secure video visits for lab reviews, medication adjustments, and routine chronic-condition check-ins. New patients are typically seen in person first, then can move to telehealth for follow-ups. Telehealth is covered by most commercial plans, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage.
Yes. Nephrology, pulmonary, pain management, and chiropractic clinicians all practice at 1724 Richmond Ave on a shared electronic record. That means a referral is a conversation between colleagues who can see the same chart, rather than a fax to an outside office and a wait for notes to come back.

Book online in under a minute, or call the office during clinic hours. Most new patients are seen within one to two weeks; same-day or same-week visits may be available for urgent concerns.
