For more than 65 years OakBend has been a vital part of the Fort Bend community and surrounding areas. Our commitment to the community has helped us hold true to our mission of providing exceptional, compassionate health care to the community regardless of their ability to pay. To achieve our vision of being the best community health care organization, we must continue to work with excellence, integrity, ownership, and compassion. We seek physicians who believe in the mission, vision, and values we have aligned with for many years.

The goal of the Physician Services Department is to provide you, our physicians, and your offices with exceptional service as we deliver quality health care and service to your patients. At OakBend, we are advocates committed to solidifying partnerships, refining communication and increasing consumer fulfillment. We are your point of contact for concerns, questions, comments and suggestions. Our team of liaisons and support personnel are here to help you with resources, community connections, and provide opportunities to work with our community outreach committee to meet potential patients. We recognize the value and strength our physicians bring to our team. Together we can lead OakBend forward.
