Here, they had the chance to personally meet some of our orthopedic providers and see the space exclusively designed with our patients in mind. This intimate encounter with our orthopedic services provided a firsthand glimpse of the specialized care and expertise offered at UTHealth Houston/UT Physicians Department of Orthopedic Surgery.

The grand opening was not only a celebration of ATH’s commitment to excellence but also a recognition of the strong bond between our healthcare providers and the Pearland community.
