I see Dr. Gladys Rodriguez at The Start Center. She is wonderful. She can direct you to a surgeon. Finding someon you are comfortable with is the most important step. Prayers for you journey.

Re: San Antonio, TX Doctor Recs??
The Start Center is terrific! I am a patient of Dr. S. Kalter and I like him very much. I have had the best possible care and advice. I continue to be checked regularly. My surgeon was Dr. Rosenthal who I also liked very much. Wouldn't change doctors for anything. They are both great. But the Start Center is filled with great doctors and is the center of some of the most important current BC research being done today. They are up on everything. Downstairs is MRI, etc. Google them.

Elizabeth Mittendorf is very involved with research on Her2 cancer.

If you are military, I'd recommend George Peoples at SAMMC.
