Patients commonly come from the Texas Medical Center, Rice Village, the Museum District, Hermann Park, Midtown, Montrose, Upper Kirby, and the Richmond Ave corridor. Many are referred by primary care, cardiology, endocrinology, or after an ER visit or hospital stay at TMC-area facilities such as Methodist Hospital when kidney numbers have changed and the next step is unclear.

Heat & dehydration risk
Impaired temperature regulation and common medications (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs) raise the risk of dehydration and acute kidney injury in hot weather. If you’re on a fluid restriction or dialysis, don’t simply drink more — ask your nephrology team how heat changes your prescribed limits.

Why patients choose us
Independent, board-certified nephrology & hypertension — the same physician every visit. No hospital committee, no rotating residents.
Remix Medical is physician-owned and not affiliated with any hospital system or private equity group. Your care plan is set by your doctor, not a committee.
Our Upper Kirby office at 1724 Richmond Ave is a short drive north of the Texas Medical Center, with free surface parking at the door — no garage circling, no shuttle, and no medical-center parking fees for a routine kidney visit.
When kidney disease intersects with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic pain, Remix Medical's internists, chiropractic, and pain-management clinicians are in the same practice — same records, coordinated care, one location.
Local care details
Flooding along Houston's bayou corridors has interrupted access to the medical center more than once, and the patients most exposed are the ones who cannot afford to miss treatment. If you are on dialysis, the plan to follow is your unit's emergency schedule, not this office's — and it is worth knowing what it is before the season starts rather than during it. If you have CKD and are not on dialysis, the risks are quieter: running out of blood-pressure medication, losing pharmacy access for several days, or drinking to thirst through a long power outage while on a fluid restriction. Keep a current medication list and your most recent labs somewhere you can grab quickly, and call before improvising a change to a diuretic or a potassium binder.
Nearly every decision in kidney care is made off a number, so the practical aim is that current results are in hand before you sit down. Labs drawn at Quest, LabCorp, or any medical-center facility can be released to this office ahead of a visit. Imaging already completed at a TMC hospital — a kidney ultrasound, a CT — is almost always better retrieved and read than repeated, which also avoids a second contrast exposure. If you were recently admitted, the inpatient labs are the single most useful thing you can bring: they show the trajectory rather than one isolated value.
The medical center corridor has more dialysis capacity than almost anywhere in the country, so if treatment ever becomes necessary the constraint is rarely geography — it is whether your nephrologist follows you into the unit. Dr. Khosla rounds at DaVita Medical Center, Galleria, Omni, and Memorial, and at Fresenius Clutch City, so patients who start treatment keep the physician who managed the years leading up to it. For most patients seen early, the work runs the other direction: slowing decline enough that this stays a conversation about contingencies.

Frequently asked
No — you can book directly. Many patients come to us after a hospital stay at a medical-center facility, or because a primary care doctor flagged a lab. Bring the discharge summary or the lab report showing creatinine, eGFR, or protein in the urine; Dr. Khosla will review it and coordinate with your PCP or the team that saw you inpatient.
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons patients come to this office. Acute kidney injury during an admission needs a repeat set of labs within one to two weeks of discharge, and that is usually the hardest appointment to get. Bring your discharge paperwork and the creatinine values drawn during the stay. Dr. Khosla's hospital affiliations include Houston Methodist Hospital, HCA Houston Healthcare Medical Center, and St. Joseph Medical Center, so the inpatient record and the outpatient plan stay connected.
Yes. Contrast-associated kidney injury typically shows up within 48 to 72 hours of the study and often improves on its own — but it should be documented and rechecked rather than assumed to have resolved. Bring the creatinine value from before the study and the one drawn after. It also matters going forward: an episode of contrast injury changes how future imaging, and any medication cleared by the kidney, should be handled.
There is free surface parking at the door of 1724 Richmond Ave — no garage, no shuttle, no ticket, no fee. For a patient on a three-month CKD follow-up schedule, that difference compounds: a routine kidney visit here does not require budgeting an extra twenty minutes and a parking charge on top of the appointment itself.
He rounds at DaVita Medical Center, DaVita Galleria, DaVita Omni, DaVita Memorial, and Fresenius Clutch City, among others in the Houston area. The practical effect is continuity: if dialysis ever becomes part of the plan, the nephrologist writing the orders is the same one who has been following your labs in the office, rather than a new physician meeting you at the start of treatment.
Often, yes. Once you are established, a good share of CKD and blood-pressure follow-up — reading a new creatinine, adjusting a medication, rechecking potassium after a change — can be handled by secure video anywhere in Texas. Visits where the exam matters, or where we want labs drawn the same day, are better in person. The front desk can set either one up.
