Piney Point Dermatology

Originally the office of Dr. Jeannette Greer, a much-loved physician, friend, and mentor, Piney Point Dermatology was established upon her retirement in October, 2019. We are still located in the Piney Point Offices on Fondren adjacent to Piney Point Village in Houston.

Dr. Greer founded the practice decades ago as a “direct pay” office in a small, personal setting. By avoiding the increasing burden of the administrative costs associated with dealing with insurers she was able to spend more time with each patient and avoid many of the obstacles we have observed in healthcare today.

We accept all patients: those with and without insurance, private or Medicare; however our office is not contracted with any insurers, including Medicare. Patients pay for their office visits at the time they are seen, and we provide the necessary paperwork should they decide to file for possible out-of-network reimbursement by private insurance.

Transparent, reasonable rates and direct access are just a couple of the many reasons to choose our office. With health insurance premiums and deductibles rising, many patients are finding that they pay more out of pocket to see specialists who are contracted with insurers than they would in an office such as ours. More individualized attention, shorter wait times, and the assurance of being seen by a board certified medical doctor at every visit are additional reasons to choose us.

The principles that guide Dr. Parsons’ practice of medicine include the respect for each and every individual, integrity, and authenticity. She treats every patient as she herself would want to be treated, and with the consideration she would give a family member. Dr. Parsons truly enjoys getting to know her patients and appreciates returning to a more traditional setting where she has the opportunity to spend more time with them. She has observed how the changes in healthcare shifted the focus away from the doctor-patient relationship to one that no longer has at its core the best interest of the patient. She wants to practice medicine as her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents had, by caring for people, not just treating their conditions.
