Refer With Confidence

When you refer a patient with an orthopedic injury, you’re doing more than sending them for care—you’re putting your reputation on the line. You need to know they’ll be seen quickly, treated with compassion, and kept informed. And your patient needs to feel heard, seen, and taken seriously. That’s why providers across Lubbock trust The Center for Orthopedic Surgery.
