What patients are saying
Selected reviews from established patients of the practice.
I love Dr. Plugins. He's responsive, caring, and truly knowledgeable. Every time I reach out with a question through the portal he gets back to me the same day, and he always takes my concerns seriously.
Very impressed with this office. The staff is friendly and helpful, and Dr. Plugins is one of the best primary care doctors I've ever had. He takes time to listen during the visit and responds to most portal messages within an hour. Highly recommend.
I've been to this office a number of times. Dr. Plugins and his nurse practitioner are both professional, friendly, and very thorough. I always leave feeling like we had time to cover all my concerns without anything feeling rushed.
Easy‑going style, good listener. The Austin location is much easier to reach than the bigger downtown clinics, and the staff handles outside imaging and referrals smoothly so I don't have to chase paperwork.
Great location, great care, no long waits. The front desk is welcoming and Dr. Plugins is wonderful with patients.
Frequently asked questions
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. New adult patients can request an appointment by phone or email; in most weeks we can schedule a first visit within 2–3 weeks.

How are prescription refills handled?
Routine refills are processed within one business day through the patient portal. Please request at least 5 business days before you run out.
What should I bring to my first visit?
A photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any recent labs or imaging if available. New‑patient paperwork is sent through the portal ahead of time.
