Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Dr. Kallina operated on my right arm for tennis elbow in 2014 and it was a success. Now I'm back for tennis elbow on my left elbow. I'm so glad that I can continue to be seen by him because he is a great doctor/surgeon.

I was terrified because of my condition. The doctor and his physician's assistant were very helpful and explained everything to me in detail and in layman's terms and I was able to grasp it all. I am so happy I got referred to him. Treatment was a bit painful but today I am a little less in pain.. I love all my doctors I've seen so far with Baylor Scott & White..
