About Ricky C. Mehta, MD

  • When he is not working, Dr. Mehta enjoys working out, running, trail hiking, being on the lakes, sports, spending time with friends and family, and then, “good old Netflix!” Being relatively new to Central Texas, Dr. Mehta looks forward to exploring all the area has to offer.

I chose Rheumatology because it’s an evolving field of medicine that has made great strides in treatments available for various rheumatology diseases. It is a very rewarding, but at the same time, very humbling specialty, where I make very close connections with patients. I practice good patient care by listening to patients, followed by a thorough physical exam, labs, and imaging studies to support a diagnosis and treatment plan.

    This is my first visit with Dr.Mehta and by the time my visit was over I knew I would be happy to be his patient. He explained everything to me as scary as the news was. He's a very knowledgeable doctor and I know he'll do the best to help me. From one to ten I give him a twelve.

    Did my in-office visit, my lab blood draw and 2 monthly arthritis Injections in 35 minutes! The lab results were my best yet! I arrived early and they took me right in. Nothing to complain about….. Dr. Mehta is gentle and always answers my questions and concerns. I hope he never retires, and yes, I recommend him to any person w arthritis who asks.

    My experience was truly perfect!! The best medically related experience since moving here 5 yrs ago. The check in was a breeze, barely sat down before my name was called, the patient room experience was great-she listened to what I told her and was very kind. And Dr. Mehta-a gem!!! Very personable, reviewed my labs explaining why one is elevated and one not. Explained findings on my physical exam. Addressed every complaint and gave a potential solution to the problem. I left having my concerns addressed, and wishing he was my PCP. I am a retired RN who really appreciated great care!
