Sprawling across 8,000 square feet, the new facility at 3753 Earl Campbell Parkway is strategically designed to meet the growing healthcare needs of families in the area.

“We chose this location because it sits at the center of Tyler’s rapid growth along the western corridor,” stated G. Todd Hill, CEO of UT Health East Texas Physicians. “As our community expands, we’re investing in facilities that make it easier for families to get the care they need, when they need it.”
The new urgent care center promises to be a beacon of health for the community, offering extended hours and walk-in treatment options for a range of minor illnesses and injuries – from fevers and colds to flu symptoms and cuts that require stitches.
Complementing the urgent care services are the adjoining pediatric and family medicine clinics that provide both preventive care and ongoing health management for patients of all ages. Dr. Mike Lamanteer of UT Health East Texas emphasized the necessity of this expansion, saying, “We knew it was the right time to expand here to meet the needs of families and businesses in this part of the city.”
Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Steven Cox, President of the University Practice Plan, said, “This new clinic will make it simpler for busy families to get quality care right in their neighborhood.”
