Texas Tech Physicians - Texas Tech Med Center

Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso is part of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine.

Our dedicated team of health care professionals and staff strive to provide patients with high-quality, safe health care services. Our health centers are located in central, northeast and west El Paso.

Receiving care in a medical school setting is unique in that attending physicians treating patients are also teachers. They must remain up to date on new treatments and diagnostics, not only to care for patients, but also to pass on that knowledge to resident physicians, physicians studying in fellowship and medical students.

Patients may be seen individually by a faculty member, attending physician, or in conjunction with resident physicians or students. Resident physicians are always accompanied and supervised by attending physicians.

Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso strives to be a nationally recognized medical practice in quality patient care, satisfaction and value.
