What Baylor Scott & White Medical Center does

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Uptown is a privately held surgical specialty hospital in Dallas, Texas, operated as a joint venture between Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH), United Surgical Partners International (USPI), and local physician investors. Founded in 1963 and now employing 251–500 staff, the facility is dedicated primarily to orthopedic and spine surgery, including total joint replacement, sports medicine, and spinal fusion, with adjacent service lines in bariatrics, general surgery, otolaryngology, pain management, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and surgical oncology. The hospital complements these surgical lines with a 3-bed 24/7 Emergency Department and a comprehensive imaging suite (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Arthrogram).

The facility's clinical platform is anchored by three advanced robotic surgery systems: the Da Vinci Surgical System for minimally invasive procedures, the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted system for CT-planned joint replacement, and the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution for knee replacement. It holds Advanced Total Knee and Hip Certification from The Joint Commission, MBSAQIP accreditation for bariatrics, and 2025 Blue Distinction Center designations for spine surgery and knee/hip replacement. Revenue is generated through surgical procedure fees, ED visits, imaging, and inpatient/outpatient services billed to commercial insurance, HMO/PPO plans, Medicare, Workers Compensation, and self-pay patients, with mandated price transparency and financial assistance programs in place. Patient acquisition runs through physician referral networks, direct intake, community support groups (e.g., bariatrics), and a multi-channel digital presence including the bayloruptown.com website, patient portal, Facebook, and live chat with physicians.
