The orthopedic surgeons in the Sports Medicine Clinic of North Texas are required by Texas law (SB 872, 2005) to disclose any ownership or financial interest in any health care facilities where our patients may receive care. We respect the rights of our patients to choose not only their surgeon but also where they wish to have their surgery done.
The surgeons in our practice have some ownership in Pine Creek Medical Center which is a private, state of the art physician owned and operated full service hospital founded in 2003. The hospital is owned by many health care providers interested in bettering the health of the community thru a more efficient and personalized delivery of health care. The hospital is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations (JCAHO) and by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Pine Creek Medical Center serves the entire Dallas Fort Worth metroplex with a population of over 3 million people.
The surgeons of SMCNT also have an ownership interest in the digital radiography (X-Ray) and MRI facilities used at our clinic. We maintain quality, state of the art diagnostic equipment at our clinic so that we may quickly and accurately diagnose our patients' injuries and institute treatment programs. We lease time at advanced imaging centers in the community so that we may obtain the most sensitive tests for our patients in a timely fashion with the goal of returning our patients to their usual state of health as quickly as possible.
We encourage our patients to discuss any concerns they have with us at the time of their office visit.
We encourage our patients to visit our website at www.smcnt.com for further information on Pine Creek Medical Center under the “OUR FACILITIES” link at the top of the home page.
