About 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.

Reviews from the web
At the time there was no “google search” and all the info about thyroid like now so I had no idea what to do. You should’ve known though because you went to “Medical School.”
10 years pass by and another doctor diagnosed a damaged thyroid full of nodules. The disease had already spread so much. You were a sellout for insurance companies and just didn’t want to order the test.
I cannot bring myself to forgive you. You have ruined my health for your own selfishness. I’ve been suffering ever since. I only hope and pray that you have changed and started caring about your patients more than your own pocket and maybe hopefully you are more knowledgeable now.
He is a super-doctor and I highly recommend him. Other reviewers that don't like him are drug seekers that get mad at him for seeing through their scammy ways. They are not smart enough to see just how smart Dr. Patterson really is.
Better than "awesome."
He believes in the health and welfare of his patients. There were times I was in between job and didn't have the money to pay for the medicine and Dr. Patterson made a way for it to happen.
Dr. Patterson started from an office in West Houston, to being so respected that West Houston allowed him to build his building on their hospital property. That is how good he is, and from a woman's perspective it doesn't hurt that he doesn't look a day over 30 to this day.
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.
