Recently moved from California to Texas to be closer to my grandkids. I was very nervous to take on the arduous task of trying to find a new primary care doctor. Prayed about it and found Dr. Talhelm. He is the kindest, most understanding, compassionate, attentive doctor I have ever had. He is very generous with his time, listening graciously (even though I know other patients are waiting). He has a marvelous sense of humor and is a joy to interact with. He is very knowledgeable, but not opposed to his patients trying unconventional approaches (such as vitamins and herbs) to help with certain conditions, if a patient is reluctant to take a certain drug due to undesirable side effects. He never pushes In this regard. He Is very respectful, very supportive, and genuinely interested in what we might be able to offer in light of our individual situations. Dr. Talhelm is a delight and a very lovely doctor. One of the best I've ever had.

Insurances accepted

Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice
