Integrative Primary Care in Houston, TX. Root-Cause Medicine for Whole-Person Healing.
If you have been told your labs are normal but you still do not feel like yourself, you are not alone.
Too many patients spend years bouncing between specialists, collecting diagnoses that never quite explain why they feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck. The visits are short, the solutions are surface-level, and somewhere along the way you start to wonder if anyone is actually listening.
I founded Salud Revisited because I believe every patient deserves a physician who slows down long enough to actually find answers.
I am Dr. María del C. Colón-González, MD, a board-certified family physician in Houston. I help children, teens, and adults uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms through evidence-based medicine, lifestyle care, and precision testing so they can feel well again.
My practice is bilingual. Care is available in English and Spanish.
Whether you are managing fatigue, hormone changes, gut issues, or simply looking for a family doctor who takes the time to listen, I invite you to start here.
About Dr. María del C. Colón-González, MD
I grew up in Puerto Rico facing asthma, diabetes, chronic pain, and obesity. I know firsthand how frustrating it is when standard care keeps you stuck in cycles of medications without ever feeling truly well.
That experience shaped everything about how I practice medicine today.
I earned my medical degree cum laude from the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine and completed my residency in family and community medicine at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. I have more than 13 years of experience in primary care. I am board-certified in Family Medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine and credentialed in Lifestyle Medicine through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
Lifestyle medicine is a board-certified medical specialty focused on evidence-based interventions like nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and reduction of risky behaviors as primary tools for treating and preventing chronic disease. It is the foundation of how I build care plans for my patients.
My training also includes Japanese-style medical acupuncture (Kiiko style), precision genomics through IntellxxDNA, HeartMath stress resilience certification, trauma-informed yoga instruction, and culinary medicine studies through Cornell. I bring all of these tools together under one roof so my patients receive comprehensive care.
Salud Revisited is a micropractice. It is just me. I keep it small and intimate intentionally so that every patient gets longer visits, thorough physical examinations, and a physician who is genuinely invested in their progress. Patients are often surprised by how thorough a physical examination I perform at every visit. That is part of what makes this practice different.
As a Puerto Rican physician, bilingual care is not an add-on. It is who I am. Hablo español e inglés.
What Is Integrative Primary Care?
Integrative primary care is a medical approach that combines conventional, evidence-based medicine with complementary therapies to treat the whole person. It is not alternative medicine. It is primary care that goes deeper.
The National Institutes of Health defines integrative health as an approach that brings conventional and complementary strategies together in a coordinated way, with an emphasis on treating the whole person rather than just the disease.
In a standard primary care visit, you may have ten or fifteen minutes with your doctor. There is time to address one or two concerns, order basic labs, and write a prescription. That model works for many acute issues. But for patients with chronic, complex, or unresolved symptoms, it often falls short.
Integrative primary care starts with a different set of assumptions. The visit is longer. The evaluation is more thorough. The care plan may include not only medications when needed but also targeted nutrition, medical acupuncture, stress management tools, advanced lab work, and genomics-informed strategies tailored to your individual biology.
At Salud Revisited, we deliver integrative primary care that honors the whole person, including mind, body, and spirit. Our model blends advanced medical science with holistic therapies so you can feel well, function more fully, and build health that lasts.
A review of over 125 studies published in the journal Medicina found that whole-person care models in primary care settings are associated with meaningful improvements in patient experience, clinical outcomes, and healthcare costs.
This is the kind of medicine that gives you answers, not just appointments. And it is built on the same primary care foundation that has guided family medicine for decades, now expanded with the tools, the time, and the depth that today’s patients actually need.
How Salud Revisited Is Different
Where conventional medicine rushes, we slow down. Where most clinics treat symptoms, we uncover root causes.
That is not a tagline. It is how every appointment at this practice actually works. We call it detective work, not guesswork, and it shapes everything from the length of your visit to the way your care plan is built.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
Root-cause primary care for chronic and complex conditions. Rather than managing symptoms one at a time, we investigate what is driving them. That means connecting patterns across your labs, your history, your lifestyle, and your biology.
Longer visits and personalized care plans. New patient appointments are 60 minutes or more. Follow-ups are built around your needs, not a billing clock.
Precision medicine and genomics-informed care. When appropriate, we use tools like IntellxxDNA to understand how your genetics influence your health, your medication responses, and your prevention strategy.
Integrative therapies used thoughtfully, not trendy. Every complementary modality I offer, including Japanese-style medical acupuncture and HeartMath stress resilience tools, is chosen based on evidence and your specific clinical picture, not because it is popular.
Bilingual care in English and Spanish. This is not an accommodation. It is a core part of who we are and how we serve our community.
Insurance-accepted primary care with optional membership support. We are in-network with Traditional Medicare, Humana Medicare, BCBS PPO, HealthSmart PPO, Cigna PPO, and Multiplan PPO. We are also a preferred provider for Impact Health Sharing. For patients wanting deeper integrative support, the Thrive Membership adds extended access and wellness planning. Some integrative services may involve out-of-pocket costs, and we review those with you so there are no surprises.

Conditions We Support
We care for children (5 years and above), teens, and adults seeking a physician who listens, a root-cause approach, and a blend of conventional and integrative medicine. We commonly support patients with chronic, complex, or unresolved symptoms, including the conditions below.
Fatigue, Inflammation, and Autoimmune Patterns
Persistent exhaustion that does not improve with rest. Inflammatory markers that stay elevated without a clear explanation. Autoimmune symptoms that leave you feeling dismissed. We look beyond standard panels to investigate what is actually driving the inflammation, using advanced labs, genomic insights, and personalized treatment strategies. Learn more about our advanced integrative approach.
Gut, Metabolic, and Hormone Imbalances
Digestive concerns, blood sugar instability, thyroid dysfunction, and reproductive hormone changes are often interconnected. Rather than treating each symptom in isolation, we evaluate how these systems influence one another and build a plan that addresses the full picture. Our advanced integrative medicine services include precision testing and personalized strategies for metabolic and hormonal concerns.
Chronic Pain and Nervous System Support
Research published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that acupuncture can provide clinically meaningful pain relief and improved function for chronic low back pain. At Salud Revisited, medical acupuncture is offered as part of a personalized, physician-led care plan, not as a standalone treatment. Acupuncture may also support a range of other conditions beyond pain. It is worth noting that most insurance plans cover acupuncture specifically for pain-related symptoms and syndromes — we review coverage and any out-of-pocket costs with you before beginning care.
Pediatric and Adolescent Complex Care
Children and teens with attention challenges, neurodevelopmental concerns, immune-related symptoms, or conditions that have not responded to standard approaches may benefit from an integrative evaluation. We look at what is driving your child’s symptoms at the root level, working alongside their existing doctors and care team to support the whole child.
Stress, Burnout, and Mental Wellness
Chronic stress reshapes how the body functions. It disrupts sleep, raises inflammation, and affects hormone balance. We use a combination of advanced testing, medical acupuncture, HeartMath biofeedback, and lifestyle strategies to support nervous system recovery.
Preventive and Lifestyle-Based Primary Care
Annual wellness visits, chronic disease management, sports physicals, and routine screenings remain the foundation. We accept insurance for these visits. If you are looking for a family doctor who also offers integrative tools when appropriate, that is exactly what we do.
How Our Care Works
Becoming a patient at Salud Revisited begins with a simple question: what is actually going on?
From there, we follow a clear process designed to give you answers and a path forward.
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
Your first visit is 60 minutes or more. I review your full medical history, current symptoms, medications, supplements, lifestyle, and goals. I perform a thorough physical examination. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is overlooked.
Step 2: Advanced Testing When Indicated
Depending on your clinical picture, I may recommend advanced lab work, genomic testing, functional markers, or hormone panels to uncover what standard labs often miss. Some advanced testing may involve out-of-pocket costs, and I discuss those with you before ordering anything.
Step 3: Personalized Care Plan
Your plan is built around your biology, not a protocol. It may include targeted nutrition, medical acupuncture, stress management tools, supplements, medication adjustments, or a combination. Every recommendation is evidence-based and tailored to you.
Step 4: Ongoing Partnership
We build a partnership, not a transaction. Follow-ups are regular, your care plan adjusts as your body responds, and secure messaging keeps you connected between visits for non-urgent questions. Meaningful, sustainable change takes time — with consistent care, many patients begin to see real improvements within 6 to 12 months.
