Rudy Valdes, the clinic’s medical director, is board certified in emergency medicine and internal medicine. He has served as an emergency room physician at Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco, Dallas Medical Center, Dallas Regional Medical Center, and at several hospitals in Florida.
The clinic is accepting new patients and most insurance plans. Walk-in patients as well as patients with appointments are welcomed by the clinic.
