Osteoporosis
Medical Weight Loss
Triglyceride is fat in the blood which, if elevated, has been associated with heart disease, especially if over 500 mg. High triglycerides are also associated with pancreatitis. Triglyceride levels over 150 mg/dl may be associated with problems other than heart disease. Ways to lower triglycerides: 1) weight reduction, if overweight; 2) reduce animal fats in the diet: eat more fish; 3) take certain medications your physician can prescribe; 4) get regular aerobic exercise; 5) decrease alcohol and sugar consumption—alcohol and sugar are not fats, but the body can convert them into fats then dump those fats into your blood stream 6) restrict calories - carbohydrates are converted to triglycerides when eaten to excess.
Rheumatology
Rheumatology is the diagnosis, treatment, and management of arthritis and related diseases. These health problems affect the joints, muscles, bones and sometimes other internal organs (e.g., kidneys, lungs, blood vessels, brain). Because these diseases are often complex, they benefit from the care of an expert in this field of medicine.
Pediatric Care
Primary Care
Our nephrologists also manage patients requiring acute dialysis in the hospital and chronic dialysis at an outpatient center such as Dialysis Specialists of Amarillo. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis facilities are available. Typically our nephrologists provide primary care for patients that require dialysis. Evaluation for kidney transplantation is carried out whenever appropriate
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
This site is designed to provide general information for existing Amarillo Medical Specialists, LLP patients. Viewing this site does not establish a doctor patient relationship. Non-patients who wish to view this site may do so; however no specific medical information, diagnosis, or treatment is provided for any reader. We do not provide any emergency services for readers of our site. If you have an emergency you should contact your personal physician by telephone or proceed immediately to an emergency room. For established patients, we have doctors on call for us nights and weekends who may be contacted by calling the direct number listed on our site for each doctor.
Infectious Diseases
Electrocardiogram

Gynecology
For gynecology services, including annual pelvic exams, family planning, pelvic pain, pelvic infections, menstrual disorders, and gynecologic surgery.
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
MonaLisa Touch® prevents and resolves estrogen drops in the vaginal tissue (typically occurring during menopause or after childbirth) by re-activating the production of new collagen and reestablishing the conditions that the vaginal mucosa once had.

Internal Medicine
Over the last few years Texas Monthly has named 12 of our doctors 'Texas Super Doctors' or 'Texas Rising Star', the most of any Internal Medicine group in West Texas.
Nephrology
Nephrology is the subspecialty of Internal Medicine dealing with kidney diseases and high blood pressure. Persons with kidney disease are typically referred by their family doctor or internal medicine doctor for consultation, however a referral is not required. Like most Internal Medicine sub-specialists, our nephrologists see general medicine patients on request.
Kidney Stones
Blood: Normally there is no blood in the urine. Blood can indicate an infection, kidney stones, trauma, or bleeding from a bladder or kidney tumor. The technician may indicate whether it is hemolyzed (dissolved blood) or non-hemolyzed (intact red blood cells). Rarely, muscle injury can cause myoglobin to appear in the urine which also causes the reagent pad to falsely indicate blood.
Urinary Tract Infection
Leukocyte esterase: Normally negative. Leukocytes are the white blood cells (or pus cells). This looks for white blood cells by reacting with an enzyme in the white cells. White blood cells in the urine suggests a urinary tract infection.

Neurology
In prior years, Dr. Lawrence Schaeffer (Neurology), Dr. Ed Dodson and Dr Stephen Usala (Endocrinology), Dr Janet Schwartzenberg (Rheumatology), Dr Milton Giron, Dr Georges Maliha (Kidney Diseases) and Dr Jesus Sahad (Pulmonary Medicine) have also been included on the Texas Monthly Super Doctors list, and Dr. Joanna Wilson (Primary Care Medicine) has been listed as a Texas Monthly Rising Star.

Psychiatry
Dr. Ruth Grant is available for children, and women. You can learn more at Bluebonnet Hill Psychiatry of Amarillo. Her phone number is 806-677-7610.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
The AMS Clinical Research team is headed by Dr. Biggs. We do clinical research in new medications, educational methods, and devices to improve the health of our patient population. Our work has been published in JAMA, Clinical Diabetes, and Diabetes Care medical journals.
Endocrinology
Amarillo Medical Specialists has the largest endocrinology staff in the region. Our on-site laboratory processes most of our endocrine studies, allowing us to have direct control of the quality assurance process, and rapid reporting to our staff and our patients via our integrated Electronic Medical Record system.
Hypothyroidism
Free T4: (FT4) This test directly measures the free T4 in the blood rather than estimating it like the FTI. Because it is a more reliable test that the Total T4, many labs such as ours do the Free T4 routinely rather than the Total T4. High levels suggest hyperthyroidism, and low levels are found in hypothyroidism and chronic illness.
Thyroid
Total T3: (TT3) This is usually not ordered as a screening test, but rather when thyroid disease is being evaluated. T3 is the more potent and shorter lived version of thyroid hormone. Some people with high thyroid levels secrete more T3 than T4. In these (overactive) hyperthyroid cases the T4 can be normal, the T3 high, and the TSH low. The Total T3 reports the total amount of T3 in the bloodstream, including T3 bound to carrier proteins plus freely circulating T3.
Thyroid Cancer
Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody also becomes elevated in some cases of autoimmune thyroiditis. It tends to be positive more frequently in Graves' Disease than Hashimotos. This test is also commonly used when following patients with thyroid cancer. In thyroid cancer patients, the Thyroglobulin test is used a marker for residual thyroid tissue. However if antibodies such as Antithyroglobulin Antibody are present, this makes the Thyroglobulin test uninterpretable.

Ultrasound
Dr. Biggs has had additional training in reading thyroid ultrasound, and thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration, and has been credentialed by the American College of Endocrinology with the Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound (ECNU). When necessary, fine needle aspirates are performed in our ultrasound suite which is usually more comfortable and lower cost than the hospital setting.
Radiology
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
AMS doctors accept most major insurance plans, and most patients do not need a referral to be evaluated in our offices. (Check with your plan on this.There are still some plans that require referrals for specialists or nuclear medicine testing. )

Hysterectomy
Gynecologists are trained in all modalities for the treatment of women's health problems, including surgery if necessary. Surgical procedures typically performed by gynecologists include hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, cancer surgery of the female organs, bladder suspension, diagnostic aspiration of breast lumps, and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical dysplasia.
Endometrial Ablation

Allergies
Dr. Biggs was born and raised in Amarillo and understands the local landscape and local allergens. She attended medical school and completed her Internal Medicine residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and completed her fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at Augusta University and the Medical College of Georgia. Medical College of Georgia is a nationally known and respected center for allergy treatment and research.
