UT Neuroimmunology Division
Who Are We?
Our division includes two neuroimmunology physicians and an advanced practice provider. Dr Romero founded the clinic in 2011 with only 200 patients at the end of the year. Since then, we have seen tremendous success and growth treating over 2,000 patients with various neuroimmunologic disorders at UT Health at San Antonio.
