D Magazine surveys thousands of doctors practicing in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Tarrant and Denton Counties, inviting them to nominate their peers.  The votes are vetted by an anonymous panel of esteemed physicians that changes yearly to ensure impartial consideration.  Editors from D Magazine finalize the award winners by verifying each physician’s medical license, board certification and disciplinary status.  The entire list of award winners can be found here: https://directory.dmagazine.com/doctors.

A major differentiator for Highland Springs is the convenient on-side medical center staffed by experienced medical professionals who serve residents only.  This allows Dr. Norman, Dr. Studley and the entire team to know residents on an individual basis and help them achieve personal health and wellness goals.  Appointments can be made in advance or on the same day, blocked in half-hour increments to ensure residents receive the time and attention they deserve.
