Overview
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) focuses on optimizing function and the quality of life through excellence and innovation in patient care, research, and education.
PM&R physicians, also known as physiatrists, treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. We focus on non-surgical diagnosis and management of conditions to improve our patients’ mobility and lessen difficulties in cognition and communication. Inherent in our training, PM&R physicians focus on compassionate, holistic care.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive rehabilitative care across the continuum, including acute inpatient care in hospital, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient clinics, and procedures.
We provide services at facilities across UTSW Medical Center campuses, including UT Southwestern University Hospitals, Parkland Health and Hospital Systems, Children’s Health℠, Scottish Rite for Children as well as the VA North Texas Health Care System. Our affiliations include Texas Health Dallas and other post-acute care sites. Our Inpatient Rehabilitation program is located at Zale Lipshy Pavilion – William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital.
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is part of the Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute at UT Southwestern. This empowers us to excel at research and education to provide unique programs and care for our patients. Together, we are a dedicated and dynamic department at the forefront of physiatry.
