Memorial Hermann Medical Group has announced it will open a satellite office in the Imperial Oaks Shopping Center, located at 2115 Rayford Road. The medical center is expected to open in May.

The group of doctors occupying the new medical facility will offer general practice services, said Brian Jarrard of Holcomb Properties, the developer of the shopping center.

Memorial Hermann will occupy 4,657 square feet of space in an end cap of a newly-constructed retail facility.

"I'm really excited for the move and to be able to accommodate my patients' busy schedules so close to their homes," said Dr. Gary Mueck. "It will be a welcome benefit for this community to have access to healthcare needs right here in their neighborhood."

Jarrard said Memorial Hermann has envisioned a satellite office in the Rayford Road corridor for several years.

The lease by Memorial Hermann fills the remaining vacant spots at the Imperial Oaks Shopping Center. Joining the medical center in the new building are Mooyah Burgers and Fries and Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt.
