About

At E. Barrow Medical Group, three internists deliver comprehensive, prevention-focused care from their Dallas office on the campus of Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. Dr. Dirk Frater founded the practice in 2008. He built it as the first concierge internal medicine practice in the city.

The practice takes its name from Dr. Ethel Barrow, a physician born in 1904 whose career exemplified intellect, compassion, and diligent attention to detail. Those qualities guide the clinical philosophy here. Prevention, Early Detection, and Ready Response shape every aspect of care. Dr. Frater leads the team alongside Dr. James Ampil and Dr. Stephen Burgher. Each physician brings deep experience in internal medicine and emergency settings. The practice emphasizes medical excellence over exclusivity. Members receive a comprehensive annual wellness examination, same-day visits, on-site lab and x-ray, and direct 24/7 access to their physician.
