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.
