Joseph Perkinson, MD

Dr. Joseph Perkinson practices family medicine at Vector Health Plus in Magnolia, Texas, bringing more than 25 years of caring for patients across the state. He earned his medical degree from the University of South Carolina in 1992 and completed his family medicine residency at Baylor College of Medicine.

His early years in private practice were spent in south Texas, where in 2000 he built one of the first completely paperless medical offices in the state, working out systems for care that were both more efficient and more compassionate. A move to the north Houston area a decade later brought time in a group practice and a stint as medical director of a hormone replacement center that has since grown into a nationwide operation.

Direct patient care remained his real interest all along, and that pull is what led him to start Vector Health, built around finding real fixes for the flaws he sees in American healthcare.
