Real world impact on Patient Care
With our aim of dedicated support for our patients, we, at The Respire Institute, have incorporated Acute Care Nurse Practitioners as a part of our practice.
The extensive backgrounds, training, and abilities of our team provides a comprehensive approach to your care.

Fully Trained Nurse Practitioners
Our Nurse Practitioners are able to independently perform comprehensive health assessments, order and interpret the full spectrum of diagnostic tests and procedures, use a differential diagnosis to reach a medical diagnosis, and order, provide, and evaluate the outcomes of interventions.
In addition, our nurse practitioners are able to perform a variety of procedures in the various settings in which they practice. Our Nurse Practitioners work together with the medical and hospital staff in a multidisciplinary approach to care for our patients.
Our Nurse Practitioner Program
Dr. Jamal Razzack has been incorporating nurse practitioners into his practice since 2012; as his practice grew, so did the need for well trained and experienced nurse practitioners.
In 2017, as Medical Director of the Intensive Care Unit at Houston Methodist West, he started the Razzack and Associates Nurse Practitioner Program. Our Nurse Practitioners provide care and services 24 hours a day, every day of the year at Houston Methodist West and Continuing Care Hospital.
