We’re dedicated to providing patients with the unmatched level of care for which UT Southwestern is known, in a welcoming and compassionate clinic conveniently located in the north Dallas suburbs.
Expert Care, Closer to Home

Our clinic offers a variety of services, including:
- Advanced imaging
- Infusion clinic offering immunotherapy and chemotherapy
- General clinical evaluation for new patients
- Lab work
- Oncology urgent care clinic for established patients
- On-site dietitian
- Counseling and therapy sessions by our on-site social worker
- Access to clinical trials at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, with full oversight by the team at the Richardson/Plano clinic.
"What I'm really excited about is being able to provide the North Dallas community access to the resources of UT Southwestern medicine closer to their own home."
