Network of community clinics continues to grow

More places, more specialties for convenient referrals

The UT Southwestern clinical network continues to grow by physically expanding to new parts of North Texas and adding new specialties to the existing clinics to serve an ever-broader patient population. 

Over the past five years, UT Southwestern has expanded beyond its main campus in the Southwestern Medical District to three specialty Clinical Centers in Richardson/Plano, the Park Cities, and Las Colinas, and to an otolaryngology/plastic surgery clinic in Frisco. An additional facility, opening in June, will bring UT Southwestern to Fort Worth as well.

“The goal of these specialty locations is to provide patients – and their referring physicians – access to UT Southwestern expertise and resources right in their own neighborhood,” says Seth Toomay, M.D., Associate Professor of Radiology and acting Chief Medical Officer of Ambulatory Services at UT Southwestern.

Most providers at UT Southwestern Clinical Centers have same-week availability. Here are the recent developments and services for each Clinical Center:
