All physicians associated with Texas Orthobiologics are required by Texas law (SB 872, 2005) to disclose any ownership or financial interest in any health care facilities where our patients may receive care. We respect the rights of our patients to choose not only their surgeon but also where they wish to have any medical services provided for them.

Physicians in our practice have ownership in SurgCenter of Greater Dallas which is a private, state of the art surgery center.

We have taken these measures to ensure the quality of the medical care that we provide our patients.
We encourage our patients to discuss any concerns they have with us at the time of their office visit.
