Gregg Rice, MD has been practicing medicine using ultrasound as a Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologist for 18 years in combination with the other diagnostic medical imaging modalities including CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine, and plain film radiography. Dr. Rice sees the tremendous value that point of care ultrasound brings to patient care, particularly in the context of telemedicine. He grew up in Lubbock and graduated from Monterey High School and Texas Tech University and then attended UT Southwestern Medical School and completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency and Nuclear Medicine fellowship at UTSW. Dr. Rice is grateful to have built quality relationships at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and is delighted with the opportunity to bring differentiated experience and collaborative thought leading as a team member with Dr. Billy Philips at the F. Marie Hall Institute of Rural and Community Health and contribute to the care of West Texans.
