Cathleen Lane PUBLISHER San Antonio ............................................... clane@mdnews.com 210-859-1232 ............................................... @MDNewsSanAntTX Greetings, and welcome to MD News San Antonio. With some robotic procedures now having more than two decades of accumulated data regarding outcomes, robotic surgery can no longer be described as a fledgling technology. Surgeons who embrace robotic surgery cite the pinpoint precision that robotic surgery allows, the three-dimensional views of the surgical field and the greater flexibility of the instruments to work on hard-to-reach places in the body. In our cover story, we take a closer look at how physicians with UT Health San Antonio using robotic procedures to benefit patients. A lso in this issue, we introduce readers to Jabrail Kasperkhan, MD, internist and geriatrician, who recently moved his practice to Franklin Park TPC Parkway Senior Living Campus. Here, Dr. Kasperkhan provides primary care to residents of the campus, as well as to other com- munity members. In other articles, we help physicians understand the complexities of prescribing medical cannabis and we try and explain some of the complexities of the Tax Cuts and Job Act to physicians who may still be overwhelmed. You can leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share information about your organization's capabilities and advanced technologies with referring physicians.
