In the heart of Houston’s Gulfton area, also known as the “Ellis Island of Houston,” Hillcroft Physicians has been a beacon of hope and healthcare for over two decades. This medical home has tirelessly served a diverse, multilingual community, offering comprehensive primary care for both children and adults. 

When Hamid Razavi established Hillcroft Medical Plaza, his goal was clear: to create a medical home for the multicultural and multilingual people in the Gulfton area. This neighborhood is one of the most densely populated and medically underserved areas in Houston. Here, the mission goes beyond offering medical services; it is about building a community where everyone feels valued and cared for, regardless of their background. Reflecting on these 25 years, Hamid Razavi’s vision and dedication to providing accessible healthcare have profoundly impacted the lives of countless individuals.

Comprehensive Care for All

Hillcroft Medical Plaza prides itself on being a one-stop medical facility. Services include pediatric care, adult primary care, immunizations, X-rays, a fully stocked pharmacy, an on-site laboratory, and dental health services. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive seamless and coordinated care. Whether it’s a child needing a vaccination, an adult requiring chronic disease management, or an elderly patient needing specialized care, Hillcroft Physicians is equipped to meet their needs.

“This is a neighborhood of hard-working people who have come here for a better life,” says Razavi. “It’s a thriving population that has tremendous appreciation for what they have and what our country offers. But they sometimes don’t have the means to care for health problems, and it’s not just a financial issue. It’s culture, language… a range of obstacles. We estimate our patients here speak 50 different languages. That’s where we can help. We provide the services they need all in one place, from pediatricians to elder care, X-rays, and a pharmacy. It’s easy to access and convenient.”

Impact and Outreach

Over the past 25 years, Hillcroft Medical Plaza has provided comprehensive services to over 700,000 patients. The staff’s commitment to community outreach and education is unwavering. The clinic regularly hosts health fairs, workshops, and seminars to educate the community on various health topics. These events are designed to empower individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed health decisions. Collaboration with local organizations extends Hillcroft’s reach and provides resources to those who need them the most.

Hillcroft Physicians, the main tenant at the clinic, is also deeply committed to charitable work, supporting numerous nonprofit organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Altus Foundation, the American Diabetic Association, the Iranian American Medical Association, and many more. These contributions are part of the broader mission to support the well-being of the community.

Looking To the Future of Hillcroft Physicians, P.A.

As Hillcroft Physicians looks back on the past 25 years, there is immense pride in what has been achieved. The commitment to serving the Gulfton community remains unwavering. The clinic will continue to innovate and expand its services to meet the evolving needs of its patients. The vision for the future is to see Hillcroft Physicians remain a cornerstone of healthcare in Houston, providing compassionate and comprehensive care for all.
