elsey-Seybold Clinic announced plans to build a 19,137-square-foot clinic in the Gulfgate Shopping Center, at 520 Gulfgate Center Mall, Houston, TX 77087, or the northeast intersection of I-45 and the 610 South Loop. Kelsey-Seybold Clinic -- Gulfgate represents another significant investment in the City of Houston by the city’s largest physician-led organization, with enough room for up to 11 providers offering primary and specialty care. The Gulfgate clinic announcement comes on the heels of five other new clinic announcements including: Memorial Villages, Memorial City, River Oaks, North Channel, and Lake Jackson. “Even with its proximity to downtown and the Texas Medical
Center, the Gulfgate area is a densely populated area in southeast Houston and Kelsey-Seybold Clinic’s new location will offer convenient access to medical care. Expanding into this area will improve access to evidence-based primary and specialty care as well as many diagnostic services for patients living in and around the Gulfgate and Southeast Houston area,” said John Lyle, Senior Vice President of Operations, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “Expansion into this area, conveniently located inside loop 610 near I-45 South, helps close the gap for patients who don’t have access to a Kelsey-Seybold location nearby.” The new Gulfgate Clinic will expand access to coordinated, evidence-based care in an area
with limited primary healthcare options. Patients will have access to an on-site pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound, 3D digital mammography and other diagnostic testing, as well as an extensive referral network for various Kelsey-Seybold specialists with offices at neighboring clinics, including Downtown at the Shops, and Berthelsen Main Campus. “We know from past experience that when new patients come to a Kelsey-Seybold location near their home or work, the quality of care they receive and the convenience of having

so many amenities under one roof keeps them coming back,” said Victor Simms, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P., Chair, Clinic Planning Committee, and Chief of Internal Medicine, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “We’re excited to welcome current patients who work and live nearby this new location, and look forward to meeting and caring for the new patients who have never been to a Kelsey-Seybold Clinic before.”
