Meet Fred Bakht, MD, MPH


My passion as a family physician is to provide you with more personalized healthcare with a strong emphasis on prevention and wellness. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You will benefit from care by a private physician with 40 years of clinical experience who is board certified in two specialties, American Board of Family Medicine and American Board of Preventive Medicine. My interests include caring for patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension to name a few, as well as emphasizing nutrition, exercise, mental health, and helping to prevent heart disease. I also work with specialists, especially when hospital care is needed. I offer some specialized occupational medicine services, such as offshore medicals (OGUK/OEUK/OKOOA,) independent medical examinations (IMEs) and exams for Saudi Arabia visas.  

What I love most is spending time caring for my patients and their families. I look forward to the privilege of doing so for you.

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.

I went for a pre-employment screening. Dr. did not explain the process nor the need for anything. Dr. had a bad attitude and wired vibe. Dr. was too quiet. I felt uncomfortable not knowing what to expect beforehand due to his poor communication to explain the process and his expectations so I am mentally prepared for the next step. I went through the appointment to move on with my application. I do not recommend this doctor at all. He needs communication and human interaction training.

Dr. Bakht is one of the best doctor's I have ever had. He has been my doctor for over 15 years and knows how to diagnose and treat me by listening and keeping excellent records on my health. His office staff is prompt and very professional. When you make an appointment they make sure you get in on your appointment time with no waiting. If you are looking for a caring professional family doctor I would highly recommend Dr. Bakht.

Awful doctor's office and billing. I suggest if you are reading this, to do everything you can to AVOID this doctor!!!

The staff is rude. The billing is unorganized and they do not keep adequate records of your payments. For example, they billed me in 2014 for a visit in 2012 that I had already paid for and since I no longer had my receipt - they told me that I will need to pay it again. When I asked to speak to a manager, they said the manager would call me back. It's been 3 weeks and I am still waiting. I sent in a check to repay for the bill that was already paid so I wouldn't get sent to collections, and they claim they "haven't received it". When I called the office back to check the payment status, I get sent to an answering service that says they will not process a payment over the phone and no one from the doctor's office will call me back. I've done everything I could to discuss this issue with someone to work it out, but it is impossible. I am highly disappointed in the service from Dr. Fred (or Farid) Bakht.

After years of attending the over-crowded and often frantic local Concentra occupational clinic to perform my annual physical, my company referred me to Dr. Bakht's office to perform the annual physical. The staff were very courteous and professional, and Dr. Bakht was very thorough and attentive to my health needs. I will continue to use Dr. Bakht's practice in the future to perform my annual physicals. Happy customer!

My name is Doug Ollre and I have been a patient of Dr. Bakht's for many years. Dr. Bakht is a very detailed and committed physician. My care and visits through him and his staff have been prompt and thorough. They always make time to take care of your health needs. Years ago I had a condition that several specialists were not able to diagnose. After seeing Dr, Bakht, he found an issue I had and sent me to the right specialist for treatment. I am forever appreciative. He is not just a physician but a friend.

I love my doctor! He's one of the best in Houston. Many other doctors we visited could not figure out my health issue problem and the cause of it, even specialist had me do so many testings and came out with one cause is stress. I heard about Dr bakht and role an oppintment, he directed me what do certain testing target one thing and figured out my problem so when I visited the specialist he was told what to treat. Wish I visited his office before and could have saved me from all the stress we had to go through and money we spent.

Doctor Bakht has been my PCP for more than 15 years.

The care you receive with Dr Bakht you won't get with any other doctor. Believe me I tried so many doctors specially specialists who don't care and are always rushy.

Don't waste your time with specialists they are lazy and not willing to work with you. Doctor Bakht have treated me for so many conditions
and will give you the correct medication unlike other doctors just spreading out meds like candy.

He helped me with many insurance issues like scanning he been there for me on all my sicknesses.

I love you Dr Bakht

I recently was diagnosed with an aggressive Sarcoma. Dr. Fred Bakht has become the hub of my treatment for that problem.
