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.

I spent 7 m0nths trying to set up a procedure through other groups in the area.with no success. During that time I never was allowed to see one of the medical doctors. I got to see one nurse practitioner briefly but I could not get an appointment to have the procedure fro two or three months. I had bleed dowe to a hemoglobin of 9.1 and I was weak and short of breath. I was able to get some treatment for the anemia and then I went back to the Baylor Scott and White website, which Is not user friendly, and found Doctor Shah, A graduate of one of the finest medical schools In the world. I got an appointment very quickly and the procedure was setup within 9 days. Dr Shah and Baylor Scott White are both great!! Austin Is lucky to have them. .

And not looking for it to my next visit even though it may be a colonostomy but oh well I'm glad that seen that he seems to be a care and doctor
