Ray ThreatGoogle review
I would strongly recommend Dr. Vijay Katari as PCP. He is great in looking the profile closely, understanding history and recommends the best based on habits. The way he explained about healthy diet including nuts was very helpful. I was told to not consume nuts earlier but it was helpful the way he explained how it helps in balancing HDL and LDL was helpful. Doctor spends good amount of time with the patients understanding the things better and clarifying the doubts. With his knowledge on the habits of Indians, he would advise the best possible.The front office is very helpful.

I have been going to Dr Katari for about three months now. He is one of the best PCPs I’ve ever had and also very accessible to where I live here in Mckinney. He not only listens to my concerns, but he discusses it all and is so easy to talk to and so caring. I highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable.

My mom moved to a new assisted living facility about a month ago and Dr Katari is her new physician. It’s a night and day difference compared to her old facility.

I definitely recommend Dr Katari.

Kartheek DravidGoogle review
As a medical professional, I was genuinely impressed by the depth of his care and the thoroughness of his approach. He took his time—asking thoughtful questions, offering clear thoughtful questions, offering clear recommendations, and outlining the diagnostic tests he believed would be most helpful. He respects his patients deeply, giving them choices while fully supporting their needs and requests.What stood out even more was his humility in the way he interacted with you. I could tell his compassion is sincere. The very first thing he said when he greeted me was, “I’ll take good care of you.” And by the end of the visit, I truly believed he meant every word.

S BhagyanagarGoogle review
I love Dr. Katari and his personal approach, 360 view of healthcare.I have been seeking a primary physician who treats patients as individuals rather than just ticking boxes. I wanted someone who takes a holistic approach, considering cultural background, family history, and personal circumstances, while integrating both scientific and statistical methods. After many years, I found this in Dr. Vijay. He blends Eastern and Western medical practices and is mindful of unnecessary expenses, treating your money as if it were his own. However, he is firm about necessary tests and prescriptions, always prioritizing proactive health.
Jayesh ThakkarGoogle review

He provided a comprehensive plan tailored specifically to my needs, focusing on both medication and lifestyle changes.His explanations were clear and easy to understand, which made me feel more confident in managing my diabetes. Dr. Katari was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about my progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.
Vijay ParmarGoogle review
After relocating to Frisco, my husband and I spent some time searching for and reviewing internal medicine/family doctors. The importance of being cared for by a doctor not an NP or PA was a huge factor to us. After initial in-person meeting with doctor V. Katari, we both felt that based on his education, experience, attention to our health details/history, and his approach to address our well-being that he is the doctor for us. After a few appointments with Dr Katari, we knew that he is an amazing doctor. We also would like to mention that his office staff is wonderful.We highly recommend Dr Katari.

All of the staff there are kind as well as courteous and are a real pleasure to interact with. They are always extremely professional and helpful. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience.
Laurie FranchiniGoogle review
Staff remember's my name when I first come in, they are very pleasant, very knowledgeable of my needs. Will spend the time to answer my questions. Dr Katari is busy but very pleasant when he sees me, goes over my records with me and answer any questions that I have. Not a long wait for scheduled appointments. Medical portal records are updated promptly. I'm able to view them shortly after this office receives them.
Linda ForGodGoogle review
Dr. Katari is the kindest physician I’ve met in Frisco. He went out of his way to give me an appointment when my own PCP at Bent Tree Physicians even refused to give me a telehealth visit, and told me to go to the Emergency Room. I had been suffering for weeks from Long Covid effects, but Dr. Katari’s medical treatment enabled me to become functional again. I highly recommend him as an exceptional doctor!
Barata HollisGoogle review
I’m a new patient with Dr Katari and his ratings online hold true! He is patient, kinda, understanding and of course, very knowledgeable.

Thanks, Dr Katari! Oh yah, his staff is pretty amazing as well!

Dale NestyGoogle review
I met Dr. Katari while my mother was in an assisted living center recovering from knee and ankle surgeries. My mother and I made her rehabilitation goals very clear when we met him. Dr. Katari was SUPPORTIVE and INSTRUMENTAL in helping me manage her health while she progressed through rehabilitation.My mother elected to continue her care through Dr. Katari after going home. He is a very understanding, respectful and has a wonderful demeanor with his patients. One of the concerns I had was that my mother had been taking Lorazepam for anxiety. He took her off the drug and respectfully declined any refills. My mother was confined to a bed for 9 months after suffering from a catastrophic fall. Learning to walk again while suffering from the anxiety of a potential fall was challenging. However, the drug made her more of a fall risk and Dr. Katari was being extremely cautious with her.I am happy to report that my mother was able to push through her challenges and is regaining her strength every day without falling. She is in excellent spirits and doesn't miss the medication. Dr. Katari will only prescribe a daily medication if it is essential. He assesses the risk of each medication and potential interactions before prescribing it. I respect his approach.My mother is 79 and is living independently at home once again where she has returned to all her baking, sewing and embroidery hobbies. It meant the world to be celebrating her birthday at home with family this year! Mom could not have done this without Dr. Katari's help and support. WE LOVE DR. KATARI!!!
Heather PerryGoogle review
Dr. Vijay Katari has been my primary care physician for the last two years. He makes sure to get into every minute detail and addresses how to better take care of myself right now and how to prevent any issues that could happen in the future by acting right now. Always an amazing experience visiting him. Every visit gives me the feeling that the doctor looked into every aspect of my health.In the middle of 2022, based on some info he got from me, Dr. Katari suspected that I might be suffering from sleep apnea and referred me to a sleep specialist. Based on the sleep study it was determined that I have sleep apnea and I was suggested to start using cpap to help me with the problem. It took a few weeks for me to get adjusted to wearing the cpap mask during sleep. After about six to eight weeks when I got used to wearing the mask, I saw a drastic difference in the quality of my sleep. In the mornings when I woke up I felt much relaxed and able to focus much better during the day. My wife and kids tell me that they don’t hear me snoring. My blood pressure seems to be getting better too. I would like to thank Dr. Katari for suggesting the sleep study and helping my sleep and quality of life.
Swaroop NetiGoogle review
I began seeing Dr. Katari last year when my prior PCP closed her practice with little notice. I feel like that was one of the most fortuitous events in my healthcare.Dr. Katari is so kind, knowledgeable, and thorough in his care for me. He takes the time to listen and makes decisions and recommendations that benefit my health status. I had multiple health/age-related complications when I started seeing him, all of which have been resolved less than a year later.I always look forward to seeing him and his capable office staff. I highly recommend him.
Sally TurnerGoogle review
I have been Dr. Katari’s patient for the last 3 years. I was on blood pressure medication for quite some time and Dr. Katari motivated me to implement lifestyle changes. I was able to lose 40 lbs and get off the medication. Dr Katari had given me headsup to measure bp daily to ensure it doesn’t fall too low while I was on the weight loss journey and that helped. I highly recommend Dr Katari as he is the doctor who is there to help not only when you are sick but more importantly helping you to not fall sick. Thank you Dr Katari.
Ashish KhandelwalGoogle review
I visited Dr. Katari with extremely high diabetes levels and was incredibly impressed by the care and attention he provided. Dr. Katari spent an hour with me, thoroughly explaining how to manage my condition and control my blood sugar levels. His detailed guidance and support were instrumental in helping me bring my A1C levels down to pre-diabetes levels. I highly recommend Dr. Katari for anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate diabetes care.

I have been Dr. Katari's patient for almost 2 years. Dr. Katari and his staff have always been very professional and caring. He will sit and listen to what your specific needs are.

If you are in search for a doctor and staff that are knowledgeable and care please don't hesitate to call for an appointment.

Dr. Vijay Katari started seeing my elderly mother recently. She was having swelling and leakage in the legs, and Dr. Katari got her to reduce her salt intake. This helped with both issues. He is very attentative to her health issues, and goes the extra step to see that she is taken care of.

Our experience at Dr Katari office was prompt service. Our questions and concerns were genuinely heard. He gave us details examples that we could understand, regarding the illness. He also gave us two plans of action. We look forward to continued good health under Dr Katari care.

Sanjeev GargGoogle review
Dr. Katari is the primary care physician for my mother in her assisted-living center. I have been very impressed with his level of care and compassion with my mother. He takes the time to discuss results of tests and recommendations with her and me. My mother just had a cardiac event, and I contacted him to see what we should do, he got back with us within 5 min and met with my mom virtually within 10 min. He has been very responsive to our requests and questions. I would highly recommend him.
melissa flauttGoogle review
I have been seeing Dr Vijay Kateri for nearly 1 year. He works with me all my health concerns, rather than just telling you what to do. He goes out of his way to make sure all your questions are answered. He wants to make sure you and him are on the same page and comfortable. He is awesome and truly cared about his patients. This place is very unique and great for those who want to live a healthy life stye. I was so touched by his professional service and recommend them.

Extremely happy with Dr Kataro's care for my father living in assisted living. He checks in on him regularly. the biggest thing I appreciate is in the day and age of fast transactional Dr visits, Dr Katari takes time to talk and learn the patient. He notices things on his visit because he knows the patient. Dr. Katari seems to be the kind of Dr that loves his job and cares greatly for his patients.
Eric DelpGoogle review
Dr. Katari has been my PCP since May 2021, when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Under Dr. Katari’s care and guidance I have learned to successfully manage my condition and was able to quickly bring my A1C to within the normal range. I’ve had a positive experience on each visit to his office, never waiting long to be seen. His staff is also friendly and compassionate.
Mitch DaileyGoogle review
Dr. Vijay Katari has been seeing me for 2 years now and has convinced me to be a much better prepared patient. I always take a copy of updated meds with me. I take my diabetes seriously and take my medication on time. Just a quick note that his Nurse Savannah has been so helpful whenever I call.
Denise RogersGoogle review
Dr. Katari is my moms doctor at the assisted living facility she recently moved to. I was very impressed with how thorough he was with the exam and the time he took to talk to us and explain things. He is also very compassionate. Thrilled that he is my moms doctor

Dr. Katari has answered prayers for my loved ones; I’d like to share a true story here.My BF’s mother has had an awful time with UTI infections-she has had them ongoing for years! (I know it’s been at least 6).Here’s the drill: She begins to get headaches. Gets confused. She feels tired all the time, as she can not sleep at night for getting up to urinate-sometimes 6-7 times during the night, then add how many times in the day!She makes an appt. w/PCP, goes in and provides a urine sample. Each time-BINGO. “Yes, Mrs. You do have a Urinary Tract Infection! Here’s some antibiotics.” Ok, we get her home, she takes the RX as prescribed. She starts to feel better. Headaches gone. She doesn’t get disturbed in her sleep as much until finally, it seems it’s cured. Thank goodness!Until the next month or two-repeat all steps above. Times this by several years! Poor lady. So many antibiotics prescribed by NUMEROUS doctors, including a urologist. It was never ending. Her body had become resistant to most antibiotics and she was facing weeks of hospitalization for IV antibiotic therapy! We were very concerned…That is, until we went to Dr. Katari. He had helped my boyfriend when he became so sick, we almost lost him. That’s another story, just short of miraculous.) We were so amazed at his pure brilliance, we knew we had to bring in his mother.Dr. Katari sat with her, asked some questions (what a great idea!) went over her medical history and based on what he saw-he sent her for scans. What do you know? He, too, confirmed she had a UTI. Except, he went several steps further; asked a few more questions, looked over her scans and he found the CAUSE of her chronic condition. It’s so simple, but complex too-it made sense immediately.Years ago, she had an implanted bladder sling and she had to have it removed due to complications. The surgeries caused adhesions which partially blocked the urethra, which prevented the urine from voiding completely. So the urine would stagnate, which caused the infections. She only need now to have the scar tissue removed.God is good!If we had not found Dr. Katari, who is a true healer in every sense, we would probably have been in that awful cycle of infections that probably would have ended her life. IV therapy may have cured the infection now, only to have it return.I’m so grateful for what he has done for my family that I can not say enough. He’s an understanding, humble man who also happens to be a genius.Thank God for the medical professionals in the world but I believe there aren’t many like Dr. Katari. He even answers his own phone, speaks with his patients after hours, checks on them…we are blessed to have him looking after us.Make your appointment and see for yourself. He’s not just an Internist, he’s an Internist Specialist. You won’t find a kinder man. And thank you dear Savannah! Great staff.(I even changed my insurance so he would be in my network.) Sending love and prayers for God to continue to bless the work you do.

It was my first annual visit, and it was a good experience. The doctor listened carefully to all my concerns.
Riddhi DesaiGoogle review
I've been seeing Dr. Katari for over a year now. The first thing you'll notice is that he will actually spend time and speak with you. I can't list the number of doctors where you speak to the physician maybe a minute or two and are then relegated to an assistant, or you never see the doctor at all. He will discuss any issues with you and ensure you understand the topic at hand.He asks the necessary questions about existing medications, and conditions. He's thorough, which I appreciate. I've had physicians in the past that missed health issues due to medications and that cost me 5 years of life spent in a wheelchair and barely mobile.His staff are friendly, the waiting room is clean and quiet, and it's easy to get to, which is also a relief as many doctors are typically 2 blocks from the parking lot and are always invariable in a hospital office building. Dr. Katari's location is about 20 feet from the parking lot.I would definitely recommend if not for his office staff. Very slow if they respond at all.

Good doctor and service. I took my mom for checkup and the service was good
Cool GuyGoogle review
I appreciate Dr. Katari’s care. He pays close attention to providing patient education and offers holistic suggestions alongside traditional medicine treatments. The office support team is nice; however, patient follow-up could be improved.

Book a visit with Dr. Vijay Katari, MD

Where do you need care?

Before you book

healow will show you real openings at Frisco. Before you pick a time, please read all five points below.

1. When we can see you depends on your plan

Which plan do you have?
Your planSame-day visit?What has to happen first
Medicare with a supplement Yes — within a few hours We verify your insurance first. You need both Part A and Part B — Part B is the part that covers a doctor's visit, so without it payment is due at the time of the visit, by cash or card.
Medicare Advantage with a PPO
WellMed, BCBS, Aetna, Anthem, Cigna HealthSprings, Humana and other Medicare Advantage plans
Yes — within a few hours, on working days We verify your insurance first. A Medicare Advantage HMO is the next two rows — what matters is whose name is on the card.
Medicare Advantage HMO, with Dr. Katari already named on your card
A commercial HMO follows the same rule
Yes — within a few hours We verify your insurance first. This applies as long as you have not been seeing another primary care physician and have not changed the name on your card.
Medicare Advantage HMO, without Dr. Katari on your card
A commercial HMO follows the same rule
Not same day One of three things has to happen first: your insurer approves the visit in advance, or you obtain a prior-authorization code from your insurer and give it to our staff, or you have Dr. Katari named as your primary care physician on the card. A name change takes effect on the first of a following month — see below.
Any private plan with a PPO
BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare and other major carriers
Yes — within a few hours, on working days We verify your insurance first.
EPO or POS Not guaranteed These work like an HMO, not like a PPO. Call us and we will check where you stand before you drive over.
Self-pay Yes — within a few hours, on working days Nothing to verify. Payment is due at the time of the visit. As a Good Faith Estimate that is about $170 for a new patient and $120 for a follow-up — an estimate, not a fixed price; ask us for it in writing when you book. If you expect to need care regularly, ask about the Direct Primary Care membership — yearly plans with predictable pricing. Membership is not insurance.
Which plan do you have?
Your planSeen on the scheduled day?What has to happen first
Medicare with a supplement Yes — usually within one to two weeks We verify your insurance first. You need both Part A and Part B — Part B is the part that covers a doctor's visit, so without it payment is due at the time of the visit, by cash or card. If something cannot wait for the next scheduled visit, we can often arrange an urgent same-day tele-visit. For a true emergency — chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, a bad fall — call 911 first.
Medicare Advantage with a PPO
WellMed, BCBS, Aetna, Anthem, Cigna HealthSprings, Humana and other Medicare Advantage plans
Yes — on the scheduled day We verify your insurance first. A Medicare Advantage HMO is the next two rows — what matters is whose name is on the card. An urgent tele-visit can be arranged sooner if it is needed.
Medicare Advantage HMO, with Dr. Katari already named on the card
A commercial HMO follows the same rule
Yes — on the scheduled day We verify your insurance first.
Medicare Advantage HMO, without Dr. Katari on the card
A commercial HMO follows the same rule
Not until it is authorized Your insurer approves the visit in advance, or a prior-authorization code is obtained, or Dr. Katari is named as the primary care physician on the card.
Any private plan with a PPO Yes — on the scheduled day We verify your insurance first.
Self-pay Yes — on the scheduled day Nothing to verify. Payment is due at the time of the visit. As a Good Faith Estimate that is about $170 for a new patient and $120 for a follow-up — an estimate, not a fixed price; ask us for it in writing. If the resident needs care regularly, ask about the Direct Primary Care membership. Membership is not insurance.

On an HMO and need to be seen sooner? Call us at (214) 884-2774. Insurers will sometimes issue a priority or prior-authorization number that lets us see you right away, and we will ask on your behalf. Your insurer gives us a reference number for it, which we have to have before your visit.

Getting Dr. Katari named on your HMO card. Ask your insurer to list him as your primary care physician. The change takes effect on the first of a following month rather than straight away, so allow one to two calendar months — and ask as early in the month as you can, because a request made late in the month usually will not take effect until the month after next. Once his name is on the card, you can be seen the same day like any other patient.

If this is an emergency — chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, a serious injury — go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Do not wait for an appointment.

2. A wellness visit is not a sick visit, and not a problem visit either

A wellness visit is a prevention-planning appointment: your history, your screenings, your medications and a plan for the year ahead. Two different kinds of appointment are not covered by it — a sick visit for something new like a cough, a cold or an infection, and a problem visit to manage an ongoing condition like diabetes or high blood pressure. Each needs its own time.

If you need both, say so when you book and we will schedule the time for it. They are separate services and may be billed separately.

If you are 65 or over, this is your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit.

If you are under 65, the equivalent is an annual physical or wellness visit through your commercial plan — a different service with different rules, set out in the next point.

On Medicare, the Annual Wellness Visit runs on a rolling clock — at least 11 full months after your last one — so it is not tied to a particular month. Commercial plans differ: some cover one preventive visit per calendar year, others require a full year between visits. We check your plan's rule when we verify your insurance.

Please book it as the right kind of visit. If you book for an acute problem, we can deal with the acute problem — but we cannot turn that appointment into your annual visit on the day. Booking the wrong one is the usual reason an insurer refuses to pay, so tell us which you need and we will put the right time aside.

3. Under 65? Your annual physical follows your commercial plan's rules

It is billed once a year, per patient — and only one doctor can bill it. If another provider has already billed a physical this cycle, your plan will not pay for a second one, however the appointment was labeled.

It must stay preventive. The visit is for someone without new symptoms: screenings, counseling and the year's prevention plan. Raise a new problem or need a new prescription during it, and that becomes an additional service on the day, billed separately under your plan's rules.

It runs on your plan's rules, not ours. What is included, what codes as preventive and what you pay for the extras is decided by your commercial plan — we will tell you honestly what we can see from our side, but the plan documents govern.

4. Your time is requested. The appointment is not confirmed yet.

Whichever time you pick, the appointment is not confirmed until two things are settled: your insurance is verified, and the slot is actually available. Our staff check both and call you back — usually the same business day. If either does not work out we will call you and move it, rather than let you find out at the front desk.

Please give us the phone number that is registered with us — and when you call, call from it. The practice receives a steady stream of junk calls, and the registered number is how our staff recognize you and know whom to call back.

Have your insurance card with you when you book. We need the plan name, member ID and group number to check what your visit is covered for before you are seen.

A credit card is kept on file to hold clinic appointments. You give it on the secure new-patient packet you sign electronically — never typed into this website, and never over email or text. It is charged only for balances you have authorized: the $100 no-show fee for an appointment missed without notice, and anything left after your insurance has processed the claim. Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead and no fee applies. An unfilled slot is a patient who could have been seen.

5. Follow-ups, refills and what counts as a separate visit

A wellness visit or annual physical covers preventive care only: screening and counseling aimed at preventing infection, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Anything outside that is its own appointment.

A new problem or a new prescription is a separate visit. If you raise something new during a preventive visit, it becomes a second service on the day and your plan will usually charge for it separately — commonly in the region of $50 to $100, though what you actually pay depends on your plan.

Follow-up visits are for one or two problems. That is what the time is booked for, and trying to cover everything in one appointment is how visits end up rushed. If you have a longer list, tell us when you book and we will find the time for it.

Chronic medications are prescribed for 90 days. Book your follow-up every three months so a refill never runs out while you are waiting for an appointment. Going away for 91 days or more — a long trip, a season abroad? Book an appointment in the month before you leave, so your prescriptions cover the time you are gone.

Antibiotics usually need an exam or a rapid test first — prescribing without one is how the wrong drug gets given. For established patients whose condition we already know well — for example those in our chronic care and remote monitoring program — some decisions can safely be made by phone or tele-visit between appointments. Dr. Katari decides case by case; new infections usually still need to be seen.

Controlled substances are case by case and are never guaranteed. Depending on what you need, the right person to manage it may be a pain specialist or a psychiatrist, and we will tell you honestly if that is so.

Before we can visit a resident

The new patient packet has to be signed. Every new patient signs it, and it goes out electronically through DocuSign — we will send the link when you get in touch. It covers consent along with the financial power of attorney and medical power of attorney details we need on file. An out-of-hospital DNR is a separate document; tell us if one is in place. Please do not send any of these through this website.

We come on your community's scheduled day. Dr. Katari visits each community on a set day, generally once every two weeks, rather than on request. If something cannot wait for the next scheduled visit, call us at (214) 884-2774 — for many residents we can arrange an urgent tele-visit the same day. For a true emergency, call 911 first.

Please keep a four-hour window for the visit. Dr. Katari sees residents at several communities on the same day, so we give a window rather than a fixed time — this applies to assisted and independent living alike. Coming to you saves the resident the drive, the waiting room and a second person's time, and in return we ask for that flexibility. Because we come on the scheduled day, the $100 no-show fee for missed clinic appointments does not apply to visits at your community; it does apply to a clinic appointment, including one made for an independent-living resident.

Every November we check your insurance again. Plans change at the turn of the year, and a plan that changes without us knowing is how a visit stops being covered. We email every resident and family each November to confirm what is current — please reply to it even if nothing has changed.

We strongly recommend chronic care and remote monitoring for every resident. Chronic care is the phone contact between visits, where medication for something like high blood pressure or diabetes is reviewed and adjusted without waiting for the next round. Remote monitoring is the equipment that tracks blood pressure and blood sugar, so we see the readings as they happen. In Medicare's own evaluations of chronic care management, enrolled patients ended up in hospital less often; families get an update every month, and regular reviews often simplify the medication list. Individual results vary.

Where can we reach you?

Our staff confirm every booking by phone, and the new-patient forms are signed electronically through DocuSign — we need both to hold your time.

Are you on Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan?

This decides which new-patient packet we send you. The Medicare packet includes the care-management consents, which apply only to Medicare plans — and which you are free to leave unsigned.

Please give the phone number that is registered with us. The email is where the DocuSign forms go — nothing about your health is sent to it.

Tell us where to come

Residents, family members and community staff can all send this. Give us the community and a phone number and we will call to arrange the visit and sort out the insurance side before Dr. Katari comes out.

Contact details only, please — no dates of birth, plan numbers, symptoms or diagnoses. We will collect what we need on the phone.

Include an email and we will send the DocuSign new-patient forms to it straight away — they must be signed before the first visit.

Just so we know whether to send you the DocuSign form. Do not attach or type any of the documents here.

Type your name and the date to confirm you have read the five points above and the practice's policies and procedures, which are updated periodically. We cannot book an appointment without it.

Signature (optional)

If you like, add a drawn signature with your finger or your mouse — your typed name above is enough on its own.

We keep a copy of what you have read, together with your name, the date and any signature you draw, and the practice can view it. Please do not enter anything about your health here. The consent and new-patient forms are signed separately through DocuSign.
