MedX exists because tomorrow's medicine is being built on populations that don't look like the people who need it most. We're fixing that — one trusted physician, one underrepresented community at a time.
Meet Our Physician
Principal Investigator · Founder of Creekside Family Practice · Clinical Assistant Professor, UTMB
Dr. Hammad Qureshi is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Creekside Family Practice in Cypress, Texas. Over the course of his career, he has trained the next generation of physicians as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), guided thousands of families through chronic disease management, and built one of the most highly-rated primary care practices in west Houston.
His teaching has been recognized by both his peers and his students — earning him UTMB's Resident Teacher Award (2016) and Faculty of the Year Award (2017). For eight years, he trained medical students and Family Medicine residents at one of Texas's most prominent academic medical institutions.
Dr. Qureshi practices a patient-centered, holistically-minded approach to medicine — addressing root causes rather than just treating symptoms, with deep emphasis on preventive care, chronic disease management, and behavioral health. His practice has earned the trust of the community in a way the numbers reflect: 4.7 / 5 stars across nearly 1,200 Google reviews, one of the highest-rated primary care practices in the Cypress / west Houston area.
Creekside Family Practice offers weekend and after-hours availability — a rare commitment in modern primary care — making care accessible to working families across Cypress, Spring, Tomball, and the greater west Houston corridor. The practice treats chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and mental health concerns — the same conditions where breakthrough clinical research is moving fastest.
As MedX's Principal Investigator, Dr. Qureshi brings this depth of patient relationship and clinical experience to clinical research — ensuring that the families he already cares for have access to the next generation of medicine, delivered with the same trust and continuity they expect from him.

Houston is one of the most ethnically and economically diverse metros in America. Over four million people — Hispanic, Black, South Asian, working-class — represent the actual future of American medicine.
And yet: for decades, clinical research has happened to this population without happening for it. Pharmaceutical sponsors run trials at university medical centers and large academic hospitals, often missing the patients who live across the rest of the city. The numbers reflect it. Less than 8% of national clinical trial participants are Hispanic. Less than 5% are Black. The conditions these communities carry disproportionately — type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease — are exactly the conditions where breakthrough research is moving fastest. But the new therapies coming out of those trials are being tested on populations that don't look like the people who need them most.
That gap is what MedX exists to close.
We partner directly with trusted, independent physicians whose patients already live in these communities. We bring sponsor-funded clinical trials into the practices these patients already visit — eliminating the access barriers, the long drives, the unfamiliar facilities, the cultural disconnect. We compensate participants fairly. We respect their time. And we make sure the next generation of approved medicines is tested on the populations who will eventually take them.
This isn't about making clinical research more efficient. It's about making it more honest. The people who have been most underserved by medicine deserve to lead the next chapter of it — and we're building MedX so they can.
Whether you're a patient curious about a trial, a physician interested in partnership, or a sponsor looking for a true community site — we'd love to hear from you.
