UT Health San Antonio Cardiothoracic Surgery

We love our patients!

Dr. Calhoon,
My gratitude to you & your team simply can't be expressed in words! You diagnosed a condition that I've lived with for 66 years, presented a path forward, explained the risks, executed the plan with confidence & precision, and have put me on the path of a healthier heart. Your team of Doctors & Nurses are world class Health Care Professionals. The treatment & care that I received at University Hospital made my recovery inevitable. I feel like the best younger version of my older self!!

On June 30th, we completed our first case at the new UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital. The only University of Texas hospital in the region, we are ushering in a new era of hope and healing through advanced procedures and precision cancer therapies grounded in innovative research.
We have an excellent team who collaborate to ensure the highest quality of care.

The venue for the J. Bradley Aust Surgical Society 52nd Annual Meeting for 2026 is the historic Pearl Brewery along the San Antonio River Walk. The Friday evening banquet, the Saturday Symposium, and the Saturday evening festivities will be held at the Hotel Emma. The Hotel Emma is a history-rich boutique hotel, located in the original Pearl brewhouse.
