Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Patients consistently praise Dr. Arnold for his exceptional communication skills, knowledge, and bedside manner. Many reviewers highlight his ability to explain medical conditions and procedures in clear, understandable terms, and his willingness to walk patients through both the pros and cons of their treatment options. He is frequently described as compassionate, caring, and a good listener who takes time to address patient concerns and ensure they leave appointments with their questions answered. Several patients also commend his surgical outcomes, with multiple repeat patients expressing strong confidence in his abilities as a surgeon. His staff is also frequently noted as friendly and professional.
Patients also share
A small number of reviewers noted areas where the experience could have been better. One patient felt that the discussion of surgical risks could have been more thorough during their consultation. Another mentioned concerns about pain management following surgery, and one noted that their pre-operative meeting felt quite brief. These represent isolated observations rather than recurring themes across the reviews.
