About Ontai Family Medicine

My Philosophy

As Hippocrates said, "Let food be the medicine." The  majority of chronic disease in the western world results from what we eat, drink, breathe, and get on our skin.  It is often difficult to sift through opinions from professionals, publications, media, friends and family.  But the evidence is clear, which we see every day with our patients at Texas A&M/DeTar Family Medicine Center.  

What Risk Factors Drive Death and Disabilty in the United States?

In our Family Medicine training program, we address the root causes  of all the most important risk factors that cause sickness, disability and premature death in our country.  

My Experience

I programmed the first voice recognition based electronic medical record for Family Medicine in 1992.

I helped pioneer telemedicine in my solo, private rural West Texas family practice clinic a quarter century ago.  At our first telemedicine/telepharmacy clinic in Turkey, Texas, we were responsible for 20% of all the outpatient visits Medicare paid for throughout the entire United States in the year 2000. 

I also was involved in starting 4 different family medicine residency training programs in University of Southern California, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M, where I’ve taught physicians, medical students, nurse practitioners and physician assistants for  40 years

My Services

In 2016 Texas A&M University School of Medicine hired me to found the DeTar Family Medicine Residency Program in Victoria, TX to train 24 physicians to become board certified Family Medicine specialists. I continue to provide consultations on reversing diabetes, hardening of the arteries, autoimmune diseases, and most of the disease of modern excess through adopting whole food, plant based diets.
