Education
Dr. Christopher Serrano is a native of Galveston and moved to San Antonio at age 3. He graduated from Churchill High School and then attended The University of Texas at Austin where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with Special Honors for his undergraduate research thesis. He continued his education at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, recieving his Medical Degree in 1990.
He pursued additional training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Loma Linda University Medical Center and completed his Residency in 1994. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Serrano is certified as a DaVinci Robotic Surgeon. He is a member of the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Association, the Bexar County Medical Society and the Society of Robotic Surgeons. He has served as Chief of service for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at CHRISTUS St. Mary Hospital in Port Arthur, Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Park Place Medical Center and Chairman of the Department at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas.
18 Years Experience
In 1994, Dr. Serrano and his wife, Cristina, moved from California to the Texas Gulf Coast to begin a solo practice in Port Arthur, which proved to be a wonderful city to live and work as he delivered more than 3,000 babies in the community. In November 2009, Dr. Serrano and his family moved to San Antonio to open a second private practice in Stone Oak after two hurricanes made him reevaluate living 5 feet above sea level.
Hurricanes
Hurricane Rita was a direct hit on Port Arthur in September 2005. The city was without electrical power for three weeks and closed for six weeks. Dr. Serrano’s family was temporarily relocated to San Antonio schools while they waited for the Port Arthur Hospitals to reopen.
Hurricane Ike struck three years later in September 2008. Once again the family was evacuated and the city was closed. Dr. Serrano’s home and office building survived both hurricanes with remarkably little damage. However, the two storms made him realize that he and his family could be happy leaving their oasis home in Port Arthur for San Antonio where he and his wife have extended family.
A New Beginning
The Methodist Stone Oak Hospital and North Central Baptist Hospital offer Dr. Serrano the opportunity to recreate his small-town lifestyle in a big city. Dr. Serrano lives and works close to both hospitals to speed his access to both facilities day and night.
21st Century Technology
Serrano OB/GYN offers 21st century technologies including DAVINCI ROBOTIC SURGERY which decreases scarring, pain and time away from routine activities. We have state-of-the-art 4D ultrasound to see the unborn in greater detail. In 2005 we began using Greenway Primesuite, a quality high-end EMR. This electronic medical record has allowed Dr. Serrano eight years of unfettered access to his patient''s information from the hospital, home, car or phone. In addition we have an HL-7 connection with Labcorp and Pathology Reference Lab, so that we have immediate access to labwork results and Pap/Biopsy results. In addition, PRL allows patients the opportunity to check their own normal pap and biopsy results through a secure telephone portal just 3 short days after their office visit. New advances to this Web site, www.Serrano-obgyn.com, will allow patients better access to their own medical information through our secure Web-based portal.
