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. Lauritsen has changed my life! He identified not only a solution to my ongoing migraine issues, but a connection with another medication I was on that was causing extreme side effects. I can honestly say he is the BEST physician I have ever had across all specialties. Baylor is VERY lucky to have him!!
