Raymond H. Hernandez III, M.D.

A San Antonio native, Dr. Hernandez graduated from Clark High School with numerous academic awards, including a National Merit Scholarship. He was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by his father and uncle, both local physicians. Growing up, he became fascinated by the field of archeology after discovering arrowheads, artifacts, and bison teeth at his father’s ranch in Bandera county. He furthered this interest by earning a degree in anthropology at Texas A&M University. Dr. Hernandez then moved to California to study medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. He subsequently completed an internship in San Antonio, then entered residency in ophthalmology at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. Following residency, he moved to Chicago for a fellowship in glaucoma at Northwestern University School of Medicine. He returned home to San Antonio in 1996 to enter private practice and is board certified in Ophthalmology.
