Macie Medical Celebrates One Year of Personalized Healthcare in Katy
As Macie Medical gears up to celebrate its one-year anniversary this October, the clinic has swiftly established itself as a vital resource for personalized healthcare in Katy. Founded by Dr. Judith Aniekwena, a board-certified internist and obesity medicine specialist, Macie Medical offers a range of services designed to address the unique health needs of local families.
Dr. Aniekwena's path to founding Macie Medical is both inspiring and deeply rooted in her commitment to community care. Originally from Nigeria, she moved to the United States to pursue her medical career. After working as a hospitalist physician with Memorial Hermann Health System for four years, she recognized the gaps in hospital-based care.

Macie Medical allows us to serve a diverse, growing community that needs accessible healthcare,” she said. This vision led her to open Macie Medical in September 2023 in Katy, an area she has grown to love.
Choosing Katy as the clinic's location was intentional. Dr. Aniekwena explained, “Katy is full of families and individuals who can benefit from the type of primary care and personalized weight loss services we provide. We want to be at the heart of the community, offering our services conveniently.” Macie Medical focuses on a holistic approach, emphasizing not just treatment, but also prevention and wellness. The clinic provides comprehensive primary care services, including chronic disease management, wellness screenings, vaccinations, and customized medically-assisted weight loss programs.

What sets Macie Medical apart is its commitment to building long-term relationships with patients. “At Macie Medical, patients aren’t just numbers; they’re individuals with unique health journeys,” Dr. Aniekwena noted. The clinic integrates the latest technologies to enhance patient experiences, including in-house diagnostic services like EKGs and pulmonary function tests. The recently introduced InBody 580 body composition analyzer allows for detailed health metrics that enable customized care, making it easier for patients to achieve their health goals in one location.
Dr. Aniekwena's commitment to community well-being extends beyond the clinic. She actively participates in local events and initiatives, believing that community engagement is crucial for fostering a healthier environment. Recently, she gave a presentation on high blood pressure to her local church, demonstrating her dedication to educating the community about health issues. “In my free time, I love staying active and promoting health initiatives,” she shared, reinforcing her belief that a healthy lifestyle is attainable for everyone.

Dr. Aniekwena expressed her excitement about joining the Chamber, saying, “I wanted Macie Medical to be actively involved in the local business community, to help support local initiatives, and to build partnerships that benefit our patients and neighbors.” This collaboration aims to enhance access to quality healthcare for all Katy residents.
Looking ahead, Macie Medical is thrilled to celebrate its first anniversary on October 12, 2024. The grand opening event will not only commemorate this milestone but also give Dr. Aniekwena and her staff the opportunity to express gratitude to the community that has supported them over the past year. “I hope to foster lasting relationships with our patients and empower them to take charge of their health,” Dr. Aniekwena said, emphasizing her goal of creating a welcoming space where patients feel heard and understood.
