CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME

Dr. Robert Schutt

Welcome to the Texas Tech Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation. Our department prides itself on providing outstanding patient care, a rigorous curriculum for graduate medical education in orthopaedic surgery, and a strong commitment to produce high quality capable surgeons for the West Texas community. Our department is a recognized referral center. In addition to serving the Lubbock community, on a daily basis we accept and treat patients from Eastern New Mexico and throughout all of Texas. Not only do we provide the latest treatment options for routine orthopaedic conditions, but our faculty has expertise in several sub-specialty areas that allow our department to effectively treat and manage uncommon orthopaedic conditions. We are proud of our department and look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
