 | Brooke Burgess, MD | Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine | Helotes, Texas | I’m a San Antonio native and grew up as part of an Air Force family, so the heavily veteran-based patient population here is very special to me. After spending time in various cities including Fort Worth for undergrad (TCU), D.C. for graduate school (Georgetown), Dallas during medical school (Texas A&M), and Miami for my internship, I am so grateful to be home for dermatology residency. Outside of medicine I love to spend time with my husband and our family, exercise, watch documentaries, and travel/experience other cultures anytime I get the chance. | Surgical dermatology/cutaneous oncology, complex medical dermatology, manifestations of disease in skin of color |
 | Julie Hancock, MD | University of Cincinnati College of Medicine | Barrington, IL | I’ve lived all over including Nashville, Scotland, Poland, Austin, and Cincinnati but I’ll always consider Chicago my hometown! Here in SA, I love to bike the River Walk trails with my husband, walk our dog Nick throughout Southtown, and meet up for happy hour with friends. We try to visit our families in the Midwest as much as possible, and enjoy trips across the country and world. | TBD |
 | Katherine Smith, MD | UT Health San Antonio | San Antonio, TX | I was born and raised here in San Antonio! I went to SMU in Dallas for undergrad and moved back home to San Antonio for both medical school and now residency. My significant other is a current Urology resident and we love to spend time with our fur baby Remington, go on hikes and be outdoors and eat a lot of good food throughout San Antonio! I enjoy cooking, happy hours and game nights with my friends and co-residents, and spending time with my twin sister and family. | Pediatric dermatology, surgical and procedural dermatology, and complex medical dermatology |
