About Antonio Serna, M.D.
About
Antonio Serna IV, M.D. can pinpoint the exact moment he knew he wanted to be a doctor, “I was in high school and shadowed a physician for career day. We were helping people and I enjoyed the experience. That day, I knew that this is what I wanted to do.”
Dr. Serna then went on to pursue his dream, completing his Medical Doctorate at the University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, as well as his Fellowship in Gastroenterology at the University of New Mexico Health Science Center. After that, he chose the sub-specialty of gastroenterology due to the diversity of the field. He says, “GI involves so many organs and organ systems. The work is interesting and diverse – we problem solve and do procedures.”
When Dr. Serna is not practicing medicine, he is involved in the local community, such as dedicating time as a volunteer at camps for children suffering for Crohn’s and colitis. Dr. Serna has been heavily involved in campaigns in order to promote colon cancer awareness and prevention. In addition to these efforts, his involvement has even extended to features on local television programming.
Dr. Serna’s motivation comes from his patients. They are what makes practicing medicine so enjoyable. In his own words, “The patients have to come first. When we put our patients first, we make a real difference, even when we can’t offer a cure.”

Reviews
Attentive staff.
Overall positive experience. I really like Dr. Serna! I do think they should work on better time management. I had a 10 minute procedure, but had to wait 3.5 hours.
Dr Serna is very attentive and an excellent diagnostician. I’m fortunate to be his patient. Also, his staff is very nice.
Thank you. Dr.Serna, for everything you do. And your staff . Thank you Arthur for explaining everything to me. Dr.Serna has for a long time. He is great very nice. Thank you so much.
I came from New York here to San Antonio and had the opportunity to go to San Antonio Gastrology and I finally got to get with Dr Antonio Serna after doctor Steven Ramos retired and I have found nothing but great help they explain everything to me and they've been a blessing since I've been here I recommend them to everyone I know
