We are a primary care practice whose physicians are double board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics (med-peds). We specialize in caring for individuals and families across the lifespan – from newborns to adults and all ages in between. Our mission is to provide high-quality, comprehensive, and personalized medical care, using state-of-the-art equipment and technology, to ensure the very best outcomes for you and your family.

Highlights of our care include:

Newborn and Infant Care

  • Routine well-child examinations, addressing behavior and developmental concerns, acute infections, and immunizations

General Pediatrics

  • Routine well-child examinations, sports and camp physicals, acute infections, immunizations, and diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions

Teen and Young Adults

  • Sports physicals, immunizations, sexually transmitted infection screening and prevention, and birth control counseling

Adult and Geriatric Medicine

  • Preventive medicine, chronic disease management, pre-operative assessment, and consultations

Treating conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, asthma and other lung diseases, sinus and allergy problems, thyroid disease, and obesity

Team-Based Care

In order to provide the best care, we work in teams that include our faculty physicians, resident physicians, nurses, and medical assistants. Our faculty physicians deliver care both independently and as supervising physicians for our internal medicine-pediatrics residents. Social workers and pharmacists are also on hand to assist when needed. As a team, we work to provide comprehensive care, managing your acute and chronic medical needs.

Appointments and Contacting Us

Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow time for registration, insurance verification, and completion of questionnaires. This also allows plenty of time for parking and navigating traffic around the Medical Center. Please bring a list of your medications or your medicine bottles with you. If you have recently visited a doctor, urgent care clinic, emergency room, or hospital outside of the UT Southwestern system, please bring a copy of the treatment plan and test results you received upon discharge.

If you are sick on a day when your regular physician is unavailable, you can feel confident knowing our team of physicians is here to help. We offer same-day or next-day appointments to evaluate and treat urgent conditions. If you’re sick, please call our clinic at 214-645-1460 to schedule an appointment or speak with one of our nurses.

We understand that health concerns don’t always happen during regular office hours. Although weekday business hours allow us to provide the most comprehensive support, a med-peds physician is always available on call from home during evenings, nights, and on weekends to assist with urgent or immediate issues.

After-hours call is used for:

  • Simple, straightforward concerns that need immediate action – meaning those that cannot wait to be answered during weekday clinic hours

After-hours call is NOT used for:

  • Emergencies
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Requests for new or existing prescription refills
  • Complex concerns, multiple concerns, or lengthy concerns
  • Questions from a recent appointment that can wait until the next day

If you have a true emergency, call 911. If you have an urgent need during office hours, please call the clinic directly at 214-645-1460.

Our after-hours call service uses a nursing triage approach to make sure you receive the right level of care. We’ll provide guidance for managing symptoms at home or help you decide if emergency care is needed. Above all, our focus is on keeping you and your loved ones safe.

Please note that after-hours calls are documented as part of your permanent medical record.

While we are always here to support you by phone, in-person clinic visits remain the most effective way to communicate and address medical concerns.

Please call the clinic or use MyChart to make, cancel, or change an appointment. If you are trying to make a same-day urgent care appointment or are canceling an appointment scheduled for later that day, please call the clinic. Do not use MyChart for same-day scheduling or canceling.

Using the MyChart Electronic Patient Portal

We strongly encourage you to sign up for and use our MyChart electronic patient portal for easy access to your health information.

MyChart is most effectively used for non-urgent matters, such as:

  • Refill requests
  • Appointment requests or cancellations
  • Clarification of prescriptions or instructions from prior visits
  • Simple questions about one medical problem or concern previously discussed with your doctor
  • Reviewing your labs or imaging records and receiving results of new tests
  • Vaccine questions or updates

MyChart is NEVER used for emergencies and is NOT a good tool for:

  • Requests for same-day appointments
  • Long concerns, multiple concerns, a string of back-to-back messages, or time-intensive messages
  • New concerns or concerns that have not been addressed during an office visit within the past 30 days
  • Written requests for callbacks from the clinic; if you send a MyChart message, we will respond with a MyChart message

MyChart is a permanent part of your medical record and can be viewed by most staff within the UTSW network. Please be courteous and professional.
