Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
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. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients also share
The primary concern raised across multiple reviews is wait times and scheduling delays. Several patients mention that the ophthalmology department frequently runs behind schedule, with some experiencing waits of over an hour past their appointment time, which caused them to miss subsequent appointments. A few patients noted feeling rushed during their visits, with one mentioning that not all concerns were addressed. One patient commented on wishing for more humor to ease nervousness during the visit. Additionally, there are mentions of Dr. Dieckert's limited availability at certain clinic locations, which contributes to scheduling challenges, though patients still prefer this to traveling longer distances.
