John Kupferschmid, MD

Dr. Kup is fabulous with kids! From the moment he walked into the room, he treated my son like he was the main event. Many times doctors ignore the child and talk only the parent. I was truly blown away at how great he related to my son and made him feel completely comfortable. He explained things to him on his 7 year old level and asked questions about his life, not just the medical stuff. We were completely happy with Dr. Kup and would highly recommend him to anyone.

This doctor and his staff are extremely professional and caring. They truly care about you and your child/family. I never felt rushed out of the room or like my questions and concerns weren't being heard. I was always given 110% of their time and attention. Dr. Kup is a one of a kind doctor!! I would highly recommend this doctor and his staff to anyone I need of a cardiac thoracic surgeon.

I have had the honor and privilege to work with Dr. Kupferschmid for many, many years. He is relentless in patient care and maximization of patient care. He is very focused upon what is best for the patients well-being. Even his vacations involve helping other individuals as he participates in international travel to aid patients that would otherwise not receive medical care. His skills as a surgeon are beyond reproach and his bedside manner is extremely appreciable. Dr. K makes himself available to people on demand and he is sincere, direct and focused upon your overall health. I have personally witnessed him go out of his way to assist others around him well outside of the realm of his practice, simply for the measure of aiding others. He is a true gentleman, a scholar, and the best surgeon in South Texas with regards to cardiovascular surgery.
