Dr. Lyssa Ochoa is not your average surgeon. When she diagnoses medical conditions, she doesn’t just look at the person—she looks at the neighborhood that formed them. Dr. Ochoa primarily practices her lifesaving craft of heart surgery on San Antonio’s Southside and Westside. Her clinic, The SAVE Clinic, is “the only Medicare-accredited ambulatory surgery center south of downtown,” according to MYSA. Her work collaborating with elected officials, cities, and community organizations is pushing the needle on healthcare in San Antonio.
Her upbringing was in the Texas borderlands, but San Antonio is now her home. Dr. Ochoa completed her medical degree and training at Baylor College of Medicine. Go Bears!
