About Our Office
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.
