Welcome to the Physician Referral Home Page

Steven L. Bloom, M.D. Professor and Chairman

For more than 50 years, UT Southwestern’s obstetrician gynecologists have been acknowledged for their contributions to women’s health care and their commitment to the compassionate delivery of quality care to all patients.     We are recognized for our dedication to evidence-based medicine as well as our clinical research for the National Institutes of Health.      Our faculty members are responsible for the largest obstetrics and gynecology training program in the nation with approved positions for 80 residents and 17 subspecialty ABOG fellows.   We have lectured widely and authored several major OB/Gyn textbooks – including Williams Obstetrics, Williams Gynecology, and Essential Reproductive Medicine.

Our physicians are as devoted to helping women maintain optimal health and well being and treating their health-care problems as they are to helping our referring physicians provide optimal patient care. 

We offer both consultative and referral services that address the full spectrum of women’s health issues, including complex obstetrical and gynecological problems.

Outpatient care is delivered in a private-practice setting on the UT Southwestern campus.  Inpatient services are performed at UT Southwestern’s University Hospitals as well as at our affiliated partner hospitals, Parkland Memorial Hospital and Children’s Medical Center. 

SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR REFERRING PHYSICIANS

Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine faculty offer a maternal transport service at UT Southwestern University Hospital—St Paul.  With the 32-bed, level III neonatal intensive care unit on site and Children’s Medical Center located nearby, we have the resources and expertise to manage almost any perinatal complication.  Whether you need a telephone consult or a complete transfer of a patient’s care, we are available to assist you.

For the convenience of patients and physicians in northern Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties, we have a satellite office at Children’s Medical Center at Legacy and perform inpatient consultations at local area hospitals.
