Patient resources
Plain English, no scare tactics, and transparent about every option — including the ones we don’t offer. Start with the questions patients ask us most.
All Knee & Joints Women’s Health Hemorrhoids Your Visit
It’s the most common phrase patients bring into our office — and the start of the wrong conversation. What an X-ray can tell you, what it can’t, and the questions worth asking before anyone schedules a joint replacement.
A heavy pelvic ache that’s worse by evening and better lying down. Why it takes women years to get a diagnosis, how it’s ruled in, and the one-hour in-office procedure that treats it — home the same day, back to work the next.
A board-certified family nurse practitioner with ten years in nursing, four of them in a busy San Antonio internal medicine practice, and most recently pain management. She sees patients in English or Spanish.
If the only choices you’ve been given are a hysterectomy or living with it, there is a third. UFE treats every fibroid at once through a pinhole, in our office, and you go home the same day with your uterus.
Home the same day, back to your normal routine in less than a week. The first night brings cramps much like your period — and we treat them with three medications that work three different ways, including a new non-narcotic.
One word, two conditions. How to tell them apart, what the four grades mean, and the treatment for each — including hemorrhoid artery embolization, the non-surgical treatment we perform for internal hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding.
Knee arthritis care was built with two settings — manage it, or replace the joint. Most patients plateau somewhere in between, and that middle now has a treatment with a decade of evidence behind it.
One in five knee replacements leaves the patient still hurting. When the implant is sound, the pain usually has an address — and an address can be treated.
The outpatient procedure that treats the inflammation behind knee arthritis pain — through a pinhole, not an incision.
Blind injections miss their target more often than you’d think. Here’s what changes when the needle is guided in real time.
Hysterectomy, myomectomy, medication, embolization — what each one actually involves, and who each is right for.
The condition behind years of “bad periods” no one could explain, and the uterus-sparing treatment most women never hear about.
What randomized trials show about pregnancy after fibroid embolization — and what we tell women who want to keep that option open.
A quiet explanation of hemorrhoid artery embolization: no cutting, no banding, and nothing that ever enters the anal canal.
A doctor reviews your imaging, examines you, and tells you plainly whether we can help. How to prepare and what to bring.
