Harvey is an emergency room physician and leader. He thrives on motivating teams by providing the most technologically advanced healthcare services to communities throughout the state of Texas. He believes in building sincere trust with patients, doctors, staff, and community leaders. And Harvey does this by consistently displaying compassion, care, and understanding.
Harvey graduated from the University of Texas Medical School at Galveston. He then completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He has been practicing Emergeny Medicine for about 16 years.

Healthcare Leaders Never Give Up and Never Stop Learning
Along the way, he completed his MBA and took on leadership and business roles. He started as a medical director. Then he devoted his energies as a smartphone medical app developer. However, he hit his stride as a freestanding emergency room founder and CEO. That business has now grown into a network of freestanding ERs and other healthcare facilities.
Harvey is the first in a series of guests who completed the UT Physician Executive MBA Program at the University of Tennessee.
Leveraging Medical Training and Entrepreneurial Skills
We covered a lot of ground. Harvey has effectively leveraged his emergency medicine training and entrepreneurial skills to build a remarkable business. And it has happened because of a desire to serve patients better. But it requires the ability to take more risk than the average physician does.
I sincerely think being an ER doctor… you tend to be a risk taker, and that kind of evolves into the business world.
He also believes that the best healthcare leaders never give up, but continuously strive for better quality, safety, and service to patients.
