Texas Diabetes

Does the weight program help people who have pre-diabetes?

Yes. Weight loss is the most effective way to prevent diabetes in people who have pre-diabetes. Exercise is also a vital part of preventing diabetes.

Are medical visits required during the weight program?

If a person has diabetes and is on medications, or has high blood pressure on medications, then these medications may need to be reduced as a person loses weight. We advise a visit with one of our health care providers for people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure prior to starting the program for medication adjustments and then 2-3 visits after starting for monitoring and further adjustments.

How do I know if TD&E accepts my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare. Please contact your insurance to verify that Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology is a contracted provider.

How do I know what benefits are covered?

We will be happy to provide you with any procedure codes that are to be billed so that you may confirm with your insurance plan that it is covered

Have been a patient at Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology for several years and I would not go anywhere else.

The scheduling department is terrible. They don't have anyone answering their scheduling line regardless of what part of the day you call. They rely solely on voicemail and have a 72 hour wait time policy for call backs. Office won't schedule a visit without a physician referral as though to suggest patients don't have the autonomy to decide on their own if they want to get a second opinion or explore specialty care options. They are taking away the patients ability to be active in their healthcare. It's insulting and sends the message that doctors know all and don't leave room for nuance that includes patience experience. My PCP submitted a referral more than a week ago. PCP says it's been sent, TDE says they don't have it and outright refuses to take any additional steps that would require making an effort resolve this, like reaching out to my PCP's office as a courtesy to expedite the process. These people are actually turning away private pay dollars because they can't make a simple phone call. It doesn't matter how great the physicians might be if you can't get past unnecessary bureaucracy and awful front office staff.

I wanted to compliment Dr. Chaicha-Brom of Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology and the staff for a very professional visit today. I felt like all of my questions and concerns were addressed and that my thoughts were valued and utilized to assist in my care! I would recommend Dr. Chaicha-Brom & her team for any health needs that you may have.

Dr Harrison is an excellent provider who looks for the underlying cause of a health concern and does not just treat the symptoms. She is knowledgeable, kind and proficient.
