Fain Robert H Jr, Md

Dr. Fain is as good as it gets. He was the NFL team physician for the Houston Oilers back in the day, and he’s been practicing for… well… maybe longer than I have been alive.
His office is located at Memorial Hermann in the medical center. and he recently expanded his practice to a location in Kingwood.
He’s everything you want in a doctor. He’s very kind, funny, encouraging– yet very honest. He draws a lot of pictures to show you exactly what’s up with your knees, and explains your injury thoroughly and answers questions about any doubts you may have. He’s not afraid to make jokes, and let me tell you, his office has a fantastic view of Houston that you can stare at while waiting.
It was also fun to hear him explain how I got injured by explaining how football players get injured. He made a lot of football analogies, like, «say you are a running back and you just got tackled from the left…» and surprisingly it made things a little easier to handle to imagine that I was an NFL player. Yes, likely, I know.
I was scheduled to get X-​Rayed in the same building before my appointment, and Dr. Fain’s office made sure to give me a courtesy call to check in to see if things were going smoothly and if I needed to push back my appointment in case the X-​Rays were late. Fortunately, everything was on time. Dr. Fain was punctual and left me with a clear idea of what I needed to do on my road to recovery. Also, when I realized that I needed a refill prescription, Dr. Fain called me back after hours during his dinner time to make absolute sure that I got what I needed. He made some pharmacy calls and reassured me when I thanked him, «I’m your doctor. Don’t worry, it’s my job to take care of you.»
