Arthur S. Centeno, M.D.,

Antonio, Texas. He treats prostate cancer patients through surgery,
brachytherapy, and cryosurgery.
"I decided I wanted to be a doctor when I
was 12 years old and was visiting my grandfather in the hospital. I realized I
wanted to help people. My philosophy of medicine has evolved over the years. I
have learned it is important that doctors be more than medical
technologists--they must also be empathetic to patients and families. This
became so clear to me when my wife died of breast cancer three years ago. I
teach my medical students that we are dealing with people, not just
diseases."
Dr. Centeno is a graduate of the University of
Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, where he is now a clinical
associate professor in the Division of Urology. He completed his surgical
internship and residency in urology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in
Galveston, Texas, and earned a Master of Medical Sciences degree at that
institution's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Centeno is a member of
the American Urological Association and Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society,
and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
