Cedar Park is seeing significant updates in its health care scene, with several new practices, procedures, and specialists being introduced. Baylor Scott & White Health is expanding its Cedar Park clinic, adding several new full-time specialists in cardiology, orthopedics, and podiatry.

Baylor Scott & White Expansion

The expansion includes 12 new exam rooms, expanded treatment space, a full-time cardiologist, a full-time orthopedist, a full-time podiatrist, nurses, medical assistants, and other support staff. Additionally, an allergy shot service will be available.

Ally Medical Emergency Room will also open a new location along the Austin-Cedar Park line this summer. The facility will be staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by board-certified emergency physicians and experienced clinical staff to treat both adults and children for a full range of emergencies.

Ascension Seton Cedar Park Innovation

Ascension Seton Cedar Park has performed the Austin area’s first single-port robotic-assisted colorectal procedure. Dr. Amar Shah, a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon, performed the surgery, which was made possible by recently approved technology for rectal and transabdominal procedures.
