Rheumatology & Infectious Diseases

What Rheumatology & Infectious Diseases does

Rheumatology & Infectious Diseases is an independent, physician-owned medical specialty practice headquartered in Houston, Texas, operating two clinical locations: the primary site at 925 Gessner Road, Suite 510 (Memorial City) and a secondary site at 18955 N Memorial Drive, Suite 470 in Humble, Texas. Founded in 2021, the practice delivers patient-facing care in two integrated specialty verticals: rheumatology (covering vasculitis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, osteoarthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia) and infectious diseases (including HIV, travel medicine, vaccine administration, and antibiotic therapy). The clinical team comprises three physicians — Dr. John Gomez (rheumatology, trained at Albert Einstein College of Medicine with prior leadership roles at Baylor College of Medicine and Ben Taub General Hospital), Dr. Coralia Mihu, and Dr. Sushma Singh (infectious diseases) — supported by two physician assistants. Service offerings also include a wellness line spanning IV vitamin drip therapy, chelation therapy, and various injection-based treatments.

The practice generates revenue through professional service fees on a per-visit, per-procedure basis: physician consultations, administration of biologic medications, joint and trigger point injections, osteoporosis treatment administration, vaccine and antibiotic administration, and wellness procedures. It operates a direct appointment-based go-to-market, with patients scheduling through the website or by phone, and accepts both self-directed patients and referrals. Distribution is exclusively through physical clinic visits at the two Houston-area locations, with no telehealth or remote-delivery evidence. Marketing channels are limited to the practice website (rh-id.com), Facebook (HTXRHEUMID), and Instagram (rheumatologyandid), with content positioning built on provider credentials, advanced therapeutics, and individualized care plans.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for an independent specialty practice: standard diagnostic equipment, a Webflow-hosted website, an eClinicalWorks patient portal, and no proprietary software, AI/ML, or data platform. The competitive differentiation rests almost entirely on physician credentials and the uncommon dual-specialty combination, rather than on technology or operational scale. The practice is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity indicated.
