Brief Intro

Inspired by his father, an obstetrician/gynecologist who practiced medicine for 30 years, Dr. Rabinowitz is still driven by his deep commitment to his patients. “I saw the type of relationships my father had with his patients, and I kept that in mind during my formative years in medicine. And today, I continue that approach by focusing on my patient as person—not an organ system,” says Dr. Rabinowitz. Dr. Rabinowitz is used to seeing patients who bring long lists of questions to their appointments, and is proud to spend as much time as necessary to understand their concerns. “I try to integrate everything the patient tells me—even if their symptoms don’t appear to relate to the cardiovascular system. I like being a detective!” he says. As one of the first three cardiologists in San Antonio to be trained in angioplasty, Dr. Rabinowitz has witnessed recent advances in technology with great appreciation. He is actively involved in clinical trials to investigate some of these new technologies, including a clinical trial for bioabsorbable coronary stents. These advances help Dr. Rabinowitz treat patients not only with blocked coronary arteries, but also those with poor circulation to the arteries of the legs, kidneys, carotids and other peripheral sites. He has been trained in the very latest interventional techniques, including vascular stenting of legs, arms, kidneys, and carotids, laser and rotational atherectomy, intravascular ultrasound, intracardiac ultrasound, and percutaneous repair of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defects. Dr. Rabinowitz has been in practice in San Antonio and served as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center since 1981. He is board certified in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. Dr. Rabinowitz has served as chief of cardiology at St. Luke's and San Antonio Regional hospitals, chief of staff at St. Luke's, and director of the Cardiac Cath Lab at Methodist. He also serves as chairman of the board for Methodist Texsan Hospital, a campus of Methodist Hospital. Dr. Rabinowitz has been elected a fellow with the Clinical Council of the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, the Society of Cardiovascular Angiographers and Interventionalists, and the American College of Physicians. He has been honored by being chosen as the top cardiologist in San Antonio by "A San Antonio Nurses' Guide for Physicians" and as a top physician in his field by other physicians as published in all of the national editions of "A Guide to Top Doctors." A survey conducted by Texas Monthly magazine selected Dr. Rabinowitz as a "Texas Super Doctor." And, he was named in USA Today as one of the most influential physicians in America.
