Reproductive health and fertility services at UT Health Hill Country

Starting March 1, reproductive health and fertility services will be offered at UT Health Hill Country. Because we are an academic medical center, UT Health San Antonio's fertility services are more cost-efficient than other practices in our area. For more information, please contact Lynette Babilonia.

Your practice operations team is here to support all of you in your effort to provide exceptional care to UT Health San Antonio patients. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to your practice operations leaders: Casey Peterson, senior director of practice operations; Jeanette Hernandez, director of practice operations; Johnna Nerios, director of practice operations; and Dina Wright, director of practice operations.
