☀️ I've got a hot take on heat safety.

Houston temperatures and heat indexes are expected to climb well into the triple digits throughout our Texas summer. As a physician, I’d like to share a few simple reminders to help keep you and your family safe.

→ First, hydrate before you’re thirsty. Thirst is actually a late sign of dehydration, so drink water consistently throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time outdoors.

→ Replace electrolytes, not just fluids. When we sweat, we lose sodium and other electrolytes that are important for proper muscle, nerve, and heart function.

→ Protect your skin. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, but it also helps your body regulate temperature more effectively during extreme heat.

→ Avoid the hottest part of the day whenever possible. Try to schedule outdoor activities during the morning or evening hours when temperatures are lower.

→ And finally, listen to your body. Symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, unusual fatigue, or confusion may be early signs of heat exhaustion. If they occur, move into air conditioning, hydrate, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

A little prevention goes a long way. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and have a safe and healthy summer! 😎

One of the most rewarding benefits of my job has been building relationships with patients that span decades and generations, but that wouldn’t be possible without taking some time to learn what makes us tick. Here are some fun facts about me so we can get to know each other better.

1️⃣ I was born in Wichita, Kansas, and raised as an only child by parents who immigrated from India. I grew up with a blend of traditional Indian values and American culture, which shaped much of who I am today. While my parents started with very little, they created a home filled with love, opportunity, education, and strong values — and I’m incredibly grateful for the sacrifices they made for our family.

2️⃣ My family moved to Houston during my high school years, and Texas has truly become home. I attended Baylor University and completed medical school and residency training at the University of Texas Medical Branch before beginning practice in Houston in 1999.

3️⃣ I’m a lifelong Houston sports fan — through the highs and the lows. I still remember cheering for the Oilers long before the Texans arrived, and these days you’ll usually find me following the Texans, Astros, and Rockets closely throughout the year. Sports have always been a fun way to connect with patients and friends outside of medicine, and there’s nothing quite like the energy Houston fans bring to their teams. Baylor sports are another favorite in our household.

4️⃣ Outside of medicine, my greatest joy is spending time with my family, including my parents who live nearby. I also enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, especially with family and close friends.

5️⃣ Music has always been a big part of my life. During residency, I was actually in a band, which turned out to be one of the best stress outlets imaginable during medical training. I still love music, concerts, and occasionally singing when given the opportunity.

👋 Hello, and welcome. I’m Dr. Ankur Doshi, a board-certified Internal Medicine physician who has practiced in the Houston area for more than 25 years.

🩺This space is where I share insights on healthcare, wellness, preventive medicine, and medical topics that I hope people find useful and informative.

My clinical interests include cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol management, wellness, and preventive medicine. I’m passionate about helping patients better understand their health and make informed decisions that improve long-term quality of life.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping build practices and teams centered around patient-focused care, long-term relationships, and a strong culture of service. One of the most rewarding parts of medicine has been caring for patients and families across multiple generations and building relationships that span decades.In addition to clinical practice, I’ve also had opportunities to serve in physician leadership roles, including as Chief of Staff at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center. These experiences have given me a deeper appreciation for both the patient and physician side of healthcare and the importance of balancing quality care with innovation and teamwork.

Whether you’re here because we’ve met before or you’d like to learn more about the work I’m passionate about, I’m glad you’re here.
