Kelsey-Seybold Opens New Primary Care Clinic in the Downtown Esperson Building Tunnel
Houston (January 6, 2020) – Today, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic opened a new primary care clinic location in the Downtown Tunnel System, beneath the Niels and Mellie Esperson Buildings. The Downtown Tunnels are a system of underground walking paths that connect 95 city blocks for 6 miles. The new clinic is located at 815 Walker St., suite T-14 in Houston.
This new 3,000-square-foot Clinic is Kelsey-Seybold's second downtown location. Patients will have access to convenient primary care services for sick care, well care, immunizations, onsite laboratory, and more
"Our new Clinic location in the Esperson Tunnel will be extremely convenient for those who work west of Main Street and need primary care that is within walking distance of their place of work," said Tony Lin, M.D., chairman and managing director of Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. "Patients can make same-day or next-day appointments to be seen by an Advance Practice Clinician and have the ability to get back to work after their appointment if they are well enough to do so."
"We have to adapt and evolve with the current healthcare environment, and this new, centrally located clinic, right in the heart of downtown, is an accessible and efficient way for professionals to get the care they need, where and when they need it," said Puja Sehgal, M.D., managing physician of Kelsey-Seybold Clinic – Downtown at The Shops.
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic – Downtown at Esperson Tunnel location will feature the same business hours as that of Kelsey-Seybold Clinic – Downtown at The Shops multispecialty location: Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
