Dr. Fonseca

Meet Orlando Fonseca, MD


As your internal medicine physician, it is my objective to provide care that is patient-centered and proactive. Through a personalized healthcare approach, I take the necessary time to discuss my patients’ health and wellness goals and to educate them on the importance of early identification and treatment of illnesses. In our unrushed visits together, I am able to emphasize the importance of controlling chronic health conditions to avoid the complications that are associated with them. This control helps maintain a good quality of life as we age. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

In addition, I am extremely passionate about helping my patients identify and reduce their cardiovascular disease risk. This is accomplished with the use of new diagnostic tools focused on early disease detection, genetics and inflammatory marker testing. 

My primary care practice is located in Houston and currently serves Memorial City, Spring Valley, Memorial Villages, Houston Energy Corridor, Katy, Cypress, Houston metropolitan area, Harris County and surrounding areas. I am affiliated with Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center and am fluent in English and Spanish.

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 can honestly say that the care I receive from Doctor Fonseca is second to none. Dr. Fonseca always listens to what I have to say and always gives me the time that I need while in his office. I never feel rushed or pushed away at any time. Dr. Fonseca has been great for me for over the past ten years!

Dr Fonseca is a very thorough doctor whose dedication to preventive care is exceptional. He encourages me to eat better to get my cholesterol lower and refers to the appropriate specialist when I have a specific problem. He has treated me for several routine issues successfully including writing prescriptions when necessary. His practice has gotten quite busy which is usually the sign of a good physician.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Fonseca. He is extremely knowledgable and professional. He is so kind and caring. He responds very quickly to issues and really listens. He explains the complicated in "uncomplicated" terms. He presents answers and a plan for your healthcare needs in a practical nonjudgmental way.

Horrible bed side manner. He made me feel like a drug addict for requesting a refill on an anti anxiety medication and then told me to see another doctor. As a fellow healthcare provider I would never make a patient feel embarrassed for seeking proper medical treatment. Especially for a short term supply of an as needed medication for a diagnosed condition like panic attacks.

He is simply the worst doctor I have ever visited and would never recommend him to anyone. If you are looking for someone with compassion and someone who knows medicine I would look elsewhere.

My husband have I have signed up with Dr. Fonseca through MD VIP. We greatly appreciated the thoroughness of the annual exam including all additional testing and the concern shown by Dr. Fonseca and his staff. This week, I became ill, called in - Alexis was professional, kind and made note of my symptoms. Dr. Fonseca promptly called me back, went through symptoms and called in prescription. The next day, I am already feeling much better. GREAT SERVICE all around!

Dr. Fonseca is an amazing Dr. I have to disagree with some of the harsh reviews. Do you go to the Doctor's office for his waiting room couches, or his services in family medicine? I would guess he has "second hand" garage sell looking"... not having a high-tech looking waiting room and keeping his prices low seem like the better idea. My wait time on average is about 15 mins, when you ask me, that is an awesome wait time. He is profoundly educated and thorough when he is in front of me. Very gentle and kind, referrals have always been sent to the correct Dr, on a timely manner for me. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Dr. Fonseca literally saved my life! Real fact!!

I join MDVIP after a conversation with a business executive friend who was a member and explain the extreme personal care he received from his MDVIP provider in Atlanta Georgia!

I needed a physical, had neglected my health for years and focused on my business life! I realized my health had trended down and was experiencing slight chest pains.

I join MDVIP. Researched the doctors and choose what I now realize was one of the top internal medicine doctors in the city, Dr. Orlando Fonseca.

In our first appointment, he ordered my Cleveland Heart blood test. He also immediately. Literally immediately left our examination room, called himself one of the top five Cardiologist in the state of Texas and I had an appointment the next day! Fact!

The next day and after a stress test with the cardiologist, it was identified that I had a significant blockage in my heart. Forty Eight hours later I had surgery and a “99%” blockage was corrected!

Now three years later, I have my 6 month check ups, annual Cleveland heart blood test and all is well. Incredible and how fortunate was I!

Today, if I have a health issue I call Dr Fonseca’s office and immediately have an appointment within 24 hrs..frankly normally 4 hrs. Then I get the unexpected personal text from Dr Fonseca to check up on how I am doing!

MDVIP and Dr Fonseca give professional healthcare a truly new standard.

I don't know where to begin. Wait times were extremely long, he is rude. He has that just out of med school, know it all attitude. Refuses to prescribe appropriate pain medication even when labs are positive. He even had enough nerve to call the pharmacy and cancel a tramadol RX! Referrals were not done on time, or for the right Dr, and this office loved to refer out! Decor was like second hand, garage sell looking. Would not recommend anyone to this place.
