Texas Telehealth
Thoughtful Cannabinoid Medicine Consultations
Physician-led telemedicine consultations for the Texas Compassionate Use (CURT) Program
Franklin M. Rivers Jr., MD provides careful, individualized medical evaluations for Texas patients who may benefit from treatment available through the Texas Compassionate Use Program. Every patient is personally evaluated by Dr. Rivers. The practice is intentionally limited in size so that each consultation can receive the time, medical judgment, and personal attention it deserves.
Practicing Medicine begins with listening.
Dr. Rivers brings more than five decades of medical experience to a practice founded on a simple principle: each patient should be understood as an individual—not processed as an application or treated as a diagnosis alone. A consultation includes a thoughtful review of the patient’s medical history, current symptoms, previous treatment, medications, personal circumstances, and therapeutic goals. When treatment through the Texas Compassionate Use Program is medically appropriate, recommendations are individualized and accompanied by continuing physician oversight.
This is not a high-volume certification service. It is a small, physician-directed telemedicine practice created for patients who value experience, careful evaluation, accessibility, and continuity of care.
Could This Practice Be Appropriate for You?
The practice evaluates permanent Texas residents who have a medical condition permitted under the Texas Compassionate Use Program and who are seeking a careful, individualized physician assessment.
This practice may be especially suitable for patients who:
● Want their complete medical history and previous treatment considered.
● Prefer to be evaluated personally by an experienced physician.
● Value an unhurried consultation and the opportunity to ask questions.
● Want individualized recommendations rather than a standardized approach.
● Value continuity and appropriate follow-up after the initial consultation.
Eligibility depends on Texas law and Dr. Rivers’ independent medical judgment. An appointment does not guarantee that a patient will qualify or receive a prescription.
