Mary F Hewitt, MD

I have been looking for a family doctor since I moved to Texas. I wanted my doctor to be close to home so I began my search online. Every fantastically rated Dr. is located in Houston which would mean I would have to drive over 35 min and even close to an hour to get to my appointment so that didn’t work. Finally I started calling Drs in my area. I got so much run around. One Dr. required you to be a part of a membership and you had to pay 1500 a year to be their patient. About 2 others that were recommended by friends and neighbors were retired and others just didn’t have the type of ratings I was looking for. So I found Dr. Hewitt’s information. I called and made an appointment with Chris. She was so friendly and answered every question I asked. I am used to other offices sending email or phone reminders so when my appointment day came and I noticed I didn’t get a reminder I decided to call the office. Chris let me know that the Dr. was out sick and my appointment would need to be rescheduled. this bothered me a bit because if I didn’t call I would have left work and gotten there only to be rescheduled. Fortunately I called ahead so that was avoided. I was able to reschedule for that same week which was very convenient. I got to my appointment 5 minutes early and signed in. At first glance the outside of the office is not very well kept. Its actually a home that was converted into an office. The waiting room is a bit small but it was not crowded. There was a bit of a wait because some patients walked in because it was the day before New Years and the office was going to be closed. I was one of the last patients to be seen. My wait time was not that long. I probably waited about ½ hour. I have waited much longer at other appointments. The nurse assistants were very apologetic about my wait and were all very sweet. This made my wait bearable. Once I got into the room Dr. Hewitt came right in and got down to business. We spent a good hour just discussing any issues I may have had, she was very thorough with her explanations and made me feel completely at ease. The office atmosphere is totally casual and she is too but the lady knows her stuff. I felt at home with Dr. Hewitt. She didn’t miss a thing. I like that she sat down and listened to me and I never felt rushed. I have been to other Dr appointments where I felt like I was an inconvenience. I was even able to bring in lab results I had gotten a month before to her and she was happy to go over them with me and addressed all my concerns. Thank Goodness I have no major medical issues but if I did I would feel comfortable with Dr. Hewitt as my physician. I look forward to my follow up appointments and recommend Dr. Hewitt for sure.
