Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Exceptionally fine experience.
I recommend Dr. Ed Rensimer, MD and his entire medical staff in the strongest possible terms. His practice is designed to provide the kind of exceptionally professional but personally focused medical care which is rarely seen in today’s government and insurance company dominated medical industry. He is thoroughly responsive and a great listener. Then, he is extremely knowledgeable and both willing and eager to explain his understanding. If your primary motivation is for a quick in, quick out, 10-minute experience watching someone type into their laptop, Rensimer & Associates is not for you. If you are looking for real listening, careful evaluation, and exceptional medical knowledge delivered in an atmosphere focused on sincere caring and compassion, you will never do better. Ever.

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Rensimer
Dr. Rensimer is the most thorough, knowledgeable and communicative doctor anyone in my family has ever received care from. He spends time considering all aspects of your issues and makes sure he is not missing something. He is a modern day expert combined with the doctors of the past who really knew their patients and went out of their way to provide individualized care. My son was so very sick and thanks to Dr. Rensimer and his remarkable staff, they found the right course of treatment and my son is getting better. They engaged with emergency room doctors after hours and helped my son get the immediate testing he needed. I wish all doctors were like Dr. Renismer and his medical and office staff.

Dr. Rensimer Is an excellent doctor. I saw him when my pulmonologist was trying to find the etiology of necrotic lesions in my lungs- very scary for me! Dr. Rensimer ran a battery of tests and did a thorough job. Very professional, supportive, informative, and kind. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Rensimer saved my life in 2016 when I was close to death from sepsis caused by another physician. Dr. Rensimer had to start me on 8 antibiotics and take away an antibiotic when he saw I did not have the bacteria that each antibiotic treated. I ended up on 3 antibiotics via IV for 8 weeks. Dr Rensimer was very good about answering our questions in detail. He is a magnificent doctor and he knows it. He's not very friendly with hospital staff. But that's not what I was interested in. He treated me very well, saved my life, taught us a lot about infections and never failed to explain my condition in detail. Now he will be treating our grown grandson who has had pneumonia since April ( I'm writing this in June 2020). Our grandsons infection has gone from his lungs to his blood. He is septic. The hospital that treated him was inadequate. I would gladly go to a doctor that is great and knows what he's doing and is pompous that to an in adequately trained doctor.

Ed Rensimer is a pro. After a potential rabies exposure, I spent the past week speaking with at least a dozen doctors at Penn, UCLA, Vanderbilt and multiple local hospitals without ever receiving a clear answer as to what I should do or how worried I need to be. I spoke with Ed for half an hour, and in that time he gave me all the information I needed to sleep at night. Ed is kind, clear, thoughtful, attentive and most importantly understands rabies better than anybody I've encountered in the field. He understands what matters, what doesn't, and what you should and shouldn't do, and gives it to you straight. He's a pleasure to speak with. He's the sort of doctor that brings prestige to the profession, and I give him my highest recommendation.

The doctor is a liar! In his multiple paged preamble that you have to read and sign, he says he will not kick you to the curb like a can. That’s exactly what happened to me. He saw me for one appointment, then decided he didn’t want to accept my insurance on the second visit. They couldn’t get me out of the door fast enough on that visit. He doesn’t care if I’m suffering with some kind of disease, if I’m not making him money then I’m not worth it apparently. Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t die. The new patient paperwork will give you anxiety when you read about everything they will charge you for, from making copies to taking up their time with your requests. I suggest finding a doctor that actually cares, even though that’s becoming harder and harder.

I became a complicated case this year and finally found Dr. Reinsimer after numerous failed visits with many other doctors. He is knowledgeable, a good listener and was like a detective in finding/treating a diagnosis. Unfortunately there are not many doctors like him-many are too specialized and can only deal with their own body system/problem. His practice seems very busy and I have had some rather long waits, but i do remember that I was probably one of those patients backing the schedule up. Dr. Rensimer always took the time to answer all my questions.

I have known Dr. Rensimer for 29 years. I am alive because of him. He knows a patient will tell you what is wrong by listening. He does not miss a thing. Ask around. This is who the other doctors send their complicated, failing, patients to. He is a very kind and genuine man. Well worth the wait. If you feel something is not going your way with his staff all you need to do is let him know. It will be fixed. A mega credit to his profession and our City.

I've been seeing Dr. Rensimer for several years, first for international travel and later also as my internal medicine physician. He listens, is thoughtful and fully explains any diagnosis or medication. He will also go to all ends in order to solve a medical problem. I'm impressed with how much he continues to read and stay on top of the latest medical advances. I agree that sometimes the waits can be long, but worth waiting versus going somewhere else.

Dr Rensimer is the best doctor in his field. He is conservative I’m treatment, listens to all your concerns, looks at all your medical history and makes the best decisions based on your needs. His staff is great. I miss his wife Jane, a nurse who retired. But- he is excellent and I’m thankful for him.

Dr. Rensimer and staff are rare find in Houston. Trying to get in to see an I.D. specialist seems to require booking over a month out in advance in Houston. Rensimer's office made it a point to see me right away with the caveat that I might need to wait awhile once I got there. The staff returns calls promptly and the doc made a point to answer all my questions. Much appreciated.

I have a very complicated health history and I've stumped a lot of medical professionals. Dr. Rensimer gave me hope and knew exactly what to do. I was very ill when I came to him and now I'm back to work full time. He gave me my life back. The wait time is the only negative thing I can say about his office. I know he gives the time and attention to each patient, so this is the nature of the beast. Saying this, I'd rather wait to see him than see anyone else.
