have ad space reserved for you! Every time you are published, your information reaches 1000’s of physicians
in every recognized area of practice throughout Bexar and surrounding contiguous counties.

Email Just for You

services, announcements, invitations, specials, etc., to a complete physician demographic. There is no other
organization or marketing firm through which you can do this.
