Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. 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.

Dr. Littrell assessed my situation and almost immediately explained why I should NOT go-through with an expected procedure. He explained his position both in dialogue and through illustrations, and was very sincere and candid in his evaluation. Rare qualities these days with many in the medical field, but Baylor seems to find the most-experienced physicians possible.

My wife had her first consultation for a procedure with Dr. Littrell on this initial visit. I thought his explanation of the considerations for having or not having the procedure were very well explained, balanced and extremely helpful in making the right decision for us. We elected to have the procedure and were very confident in the whole decision process.
