About

Riya Joseph, MD, earned her Doctor of Medicine degree at the Texas Tech Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso in 2015. She then relocated to Houston, where she completed both her internship and residency at the Methodist Hospital System Internal Medicine Residency program in 2018. Bilingual in English and Malayalam, Dr. Joseph joined Kelsey-Seybold as a board-certified internist in January 2026.
Finding medicine to be one of the few fields where curiosity and compassion work together, Dr. Joseph practices medicine to spend her time doing what she loves most — helping people, working in science, and solving problems. As a primary care physician for adults, she provides preventive medicine, such as well checks and immunizations, along with care for acute conditions like fever, flu, nausea and vomiting, and more. She also manages chronic medical conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, COPD, and asthma. Dr. Joseph’s favorite aspect of being a physician is how it provides opportunities to build relationships.

    The lack of communication does not pertain to Dr. Joseph. Occasionally, something gets lost between her message to me and/or between me to her. I do not consider this life-threatening, just frustrating and worrisome.

    DR JOSEPH HAS BEEN MORE THAN A PCP, DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, ETC. TO MY FAMILY. SHE HAS BEEN THE ONLY PHYSICIAN THAT HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL MEDICAL EXPECTATIONS. MY PARENTS SEE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF DOCTORS WEEKLY, FOR ALL TYPES OF MEDICAL REASONS. HOWEVER, DR. JOSEPH IS UNIQUE. SHE HAS SHOWN SO MUCH COMPASSION, CONCERN, AND ABOVE ALL HUMBLENESS TO MY PARENTS/FAMILY; FOR THIS ATTENTION AND CARE, I COULD NEVER REPAY HER.

    Dr. Joseph is very candid, kind and sympathetic. I believes she understands that I want to know why I'm advised to either add or subtract one of the many meds I take and I believes she knows her stuff if we aren't on the same track and lets me know why. I believe she appreciates I may know more about my own body and I believe she knows more about medicine and science than I do. So are discussions are informative and they encourage me to make changes she suggest I might not understand on my own. I appreciate her positive attitude a lot.
