Hello

Could anyone recommend a rheumatologist in San Antonio ? Thank You

My wife uses Dr. Emily Marx (part of the Rheumatology Associates of South Texas). Her office is on Stone Oak Parkway and she also has a Thursday office on Wiseman in Westover Hills.

My mom sees Kempf. She also really likes his partner, Dr. Allen I believe.

Who do you see?

I just sent you a message. Didn't catch the name of the group you use at first. Mine is in the same group. Hope it's not him...

I've been going to Dr. Allen at Rheumatology Associates of South Texas since I moved here 7 years ago. Love him and the office. Always on time and great bedside manners.
