UT Southwestern physicians offer consultations and treatment in about 80 areas of medical specialization. Our ability to provide integrated, multidisciplinary care across a wide spectrum makes UTSW an exceptional choice for even the most difficult cases.
If you have a patient in need of referral, our staff will assist with the secure transfer of medical records and test results to UT Southwestern offices.
We’ll provide quality care in a manner consistent with your practice. And we’ll work collaboratively with you to ensure a smooth transition back to your practice when appropriate.
