About

Cassandra Gurgiolo-Romero

Dr. Cassandra Romero has been practicing since 2015, with a focus on internal medicine and care for adults ages 18 and up. Her goal is to collaborate with each patient, using her medical knowledge to guide them so that everyone she sees can reach their fullest potential for holistic wellness. Dr. Romero creates a warm, relaxed environment and approaches care collaboratively, sharing the medical information her patients need and then making decisions together with them. Her clinical interests include diabetes, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, preventive medicine, cognitive preservation, and healthy aging. She is also fluent in Spanish. Dr. Romero completed her undergraduate studies in public health at Johns Hopkins University and earned her medical degree from the University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio in 2012. She completed her residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and University Hospital. She is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a member of the American College of Physicians. Patients are often surprised to learn that she is also a hospitalist at Methodist Hospital. A dedicated gardener, she has a special interest in native Texas plants and is currently transforming her yard into a natural ecosystem of symbiotic native species. She also loves swimming, kayaking, and spending time in and around water, whether at a lake, a river, or the beach. Above all, she treasures time with her husband and two children, their two dogs and cat, and her extended family in San Antonio.
