You don’t just move into Texas.  It moves into you” -Manny Fernandez

Dreaming about a low-cost of living, warm climate, clean, fresh air, and a ten-minute commute?  How about trading in close quarters for a large home with prime land, scenic lakes, and a solid reputation for hunting and fishing? Or maybe world class golf courses, tennis centers and a newly opened sprawling youth sports center is more your style.  Fortunately, you don’t have to choose. Abilene, Texas has it all. 

Our collaborative and established Physician practice, Abilene Sports Medicine & Orthopedics in West Texas is growing and ready to welcome a new Spine Surgeon into their practice.
