Who oversees your care in our clinic?
Mary Jo Decker NP
Mary Jo has decades of experience in the medical field from ICU nursing, travel medicine and Family medicine. I have worked with her for more than five years. She is thorough and will make sure our patients have the best care. Our practice in this clinic is that whenever possible, Dr. Turner steps in to learn about our patients and offer extra advice if needed to work together as a team along with you so that we all support your better health.
Dr. Rami Turner
Dr. Rami Turner is a graduate of Texas Osteopathic Medical School in Fort Worth and completed her Family Medicine Residency program in Texarkana with University of Arkansas Medical School in 2015. In 2019, her life was rearranged by a debilitating autoimmune condition that is rare and hard to treat. So along with her doctors, she found a mix of pharmaceuticals and lifestyle changes along with some nutritional supplements to now pass along to her patients.
Our Staff
The office can't run without these guys
Steven Turner
Steve was initially a computer science engineer. He is a fast learner and works in our back office for billing and helping to make appointments. He makes sure things stay on track. As all the rest of the staff, he is versatile while we get off the ground and does whatever necessary to help patients get what they need.
Hung Luong
Hung is our front man. He answers the phone, and also works as a medical assistant to bring you back to the room for your healthcare provider. He has worked in many fields and is also a very fast learner. He also answers the phone and helps patients get what they need.
Teamwork is the goal of our clinic. Working together, we have strength to ensure your well being.

Routine Doctor Visits
We are a Family Practice, providing general non-emergency medical services. Call us if you...
- Need an annual physical exam
- Need help with managing Type 2 diabetes
- Noticed an odd rash on your arm
- You just need a new Primary Care Physician
- Let's make one thing clear. You will never be pushed into taking a medication or vaccine you do not want. Although some medications may pose better benefit than risk, no one should have to agree to care they don't want in order to get care they need.
In this clinic, you will never be pushed into taking a medication or vaccine you do not want. Although some medications may pose better benefit than risk, no one should have to agree to care they don't want in order to get care they need.
In general, we can usually help anyone who walks in the door. But if you have a life threatening emergency then go to an Emergency Room.

Experience Compassionate Care at Devoted Family Medicine
At DR RAMI TURNER DO PLLC (dba Devoted Family Medicine), we understand that healthcare is more than just treating illness. It's about caring for the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. That's why we take a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on prevention, education, and wellness. Our team of compassionate healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your health goals.
I spent several years getting control of my own condition. I discovered that getting well meant that I had to change my whole lifestyle and mindset.
Health lifestyle: I had to eat healthy. No more fast food, no more quick store-bought meals and no more quick fixes. And who has time to cook? Nothing like buying healthy food only to throw it away. So, that to do? We have "healthy" food but how safe is it? Rumors and evidence of plastic and pesticides and even heavy metals are found in our food, and e.coli randomly showing up in our vegetables? E.coli lives in the guts of animals. So, the fight begins to examine our food, perhaps grow our own food and what to do when you aren't even home to eat? What to do when you are called to be on the road, and then you get hungry? I began an account with Juice Plus+© to fill in the gaps of my diet.
The Program
I can't believe this is happening.
Many who have visited my site know that I have worked very hard to conquer my own medical condition. I could not lift, had no endurance, the pain was incredible. I was supposed to get worse but instead, through the grace of God, I have indeed become so much better. I can do more than even before getting sick, except I still can't walk continuously very often. But the fact is that I have indeed walked about two miles straight on the beach, and I can run. (Although I look like a robot when running... and don't tell my doctor, she will be mad at me!)
And now we are opening an office! All my doctors know this and are glad to see this happening.
Mary Jo is still with me and ready to help take up the slack if things get crazy. But yes, the time has come to build the type of practice that puts the patient first.
Many have asked and I didn't think it was possible, but what can you do when everything starts falling into place with almost no effort? Friends, family and even strangers gather around to help put things together for me and it has been amazing to watch!
My gratitude is endless, I am humbled. Even some medical equipment was practically given to me from another doctor leaving his practice. A man I had never met who passed by and felt "moved" to step in and lend support. Wow.
Real World Experience and Formal Medical Training
Years of combined experience in the medical field: Mary Jo has over 30 years of experience as a nurse practitioner, and Dr. Turner was 45 before her medical training began. Both of us have seen both sides of the provider's desk. It seems that the bureaucracy of medicine has become an encumbrance to helping patients get better, and we just can't stand for that. So we are going to change to a radical plan and (here it comes)... listen to you! Then we find a plan that uses integrative medicine to help you attain your best overall health. Our goal is to replace strong medications, whenever possible and medically safe, for effective yet gentler options. Let's get healthy!
We are not a "cookie cutter" practice.
We are not a "cookie cutter" practice.
No one is a cookie cutter patient. All of us come with a mixture of insults and achievements in our health. Our goal is to find the secret sauce that you need to feel healthy in your body, your mind and your soul. In the process, we work with prescribed medications, multiple supplements, education, as well as general coaching and counseling. Our Integrative Medicine is through researched methods with no hidden costs.
Dr. Turner, upon receiving the devastating diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome, was forced to look "outside the box" in order to help her own body. Instead of getting progressively worse, as was expected, she has learned to manage her disease and improve her condition. In so doing, her challenges are met every day which is the nature of achieving good health. One must practice self-care every day.
We Listen to You
We Listen to You
We are not a "cookie cutter" practice.
You know your body best. You know what you can tolerate, and what is difficult for you. Proper evaluation and reassessments can take time. Sadly, getting adequate face-to-face time has been difficult for providers and patients alike. We have busy lives and, in the clinics, growing bureaucracy and endless regulations have taken bite after bite out of the time that providers can spend interacting directly with you. We are here to listen to your situation with an open mind, unencumbered by other deadlines and by too many appointments imposed by the corporate medicine machine. We control our time so that we can provide you with undivided attention during your appointment.
Our appointments are done via telemedicine, primarily for residents of Texas.
How's it going?
We Listen to You
How's it going?
Well, we are still here. Building a business is not an easy task. There are bumps in the road no matter what, we had to change our electronic health system TWICE!, our initial billing service was not helpful and the person we paid to get me credentialled didn't follow through. Fortunately, I did some applying between seeing patients, and made some progress. Even better, a wonderful knew we needed help and reached out to us. She's been great - shout out to Amanda! You may never meet her but she's been a big help for all of us!
