“Perinatal Associates of San Antonio opened its doors in 2000 in the Remington Oaks Building under the name Perinatal and Fertility Specialists of San Antonio. Our practice’s goal was to help patients with chronic health conditions, challenging pregnancies, and complex fertility issues to have successful, healthy pregnancies. Since then, we have undergone growth of patients, staff, and office space. We’ve moved to a larger location and even changed our name, all while establishing lasting relationships with doctors and patients throughout the San Antonio area. Many women feel relaxed and comfortable in the care of our team. We are blessed to say that, not unlike the families of our many satisfied patients, our practice’s family is growing every day” as stated on their website.
