TSAOG Orthopaedics is the first in Texas to offer Stryker’s robotic-arm assisted knee application for use with its Mako System in an outpatient surgery center. This latest advancement in joint replacement surgery transforms the way joint replacements are performed.
Dr. Stephen S. Burkhart – shoulder specialist and long time member of TSAOG – will be retiring from private practice, effective January 31st, 2020.
Current patients of Dr. Burkhart will have the option of transferring their care to another TSAOG physician or any other physician of their choice. If you are a current patient with Dr. Burkhart and have any questions about your medical records or continued care, please contact our main office at (210) 804-5400.
Dr. Burkhart joined TSAOG in 1981 and has served as an important leader in our practice for 38 years. According to TSAOG CEO Sani Mirza, “Dr. Burkhart has led TSAOG Orthopaedics as he has lived his life – with humility, decency, and honesty. His leadership is the reason this organization has grown from six physicians to over forty and continues to attract the very best. His legacy is not only this Group, but all it represents: unequalled patient care, innovation, compassion, and integrity.
I am honored to call Steve Burkhart my friend and, while I wish him well in retirement, I hope he visits us often to ensure we continue to be the type of practice that he built and would be proud to call home.“
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Burkhart on an incredible career which has benefited so many people around the world. We will all miss him very much. Happy retirement, Dr. Burkhart!

Andrea is from Somerset, TX, a small town just south of San Antonio. She completed her undergraduate degree at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY. Four years and a bachelor’s degree later she decided the snow, subzero temperature and lack of Mexican food was just too much for her and she moved back home to San Antonio!
In 2019, she started working for TSAOG as a Reception Specialist at our Mission Trails Clinic. Later, she joined the Human Resources department initially as an HR Assistant but continued her growth to her current role as the Human Resources Generalist!
Director of Human Resources
Cyndee White has worked in Human Resources for many years mainly in the restaurant and adult alcohol beverage industry prior to joining TSAOG in 2020.
Cyndee earned her degree in Human Resources in 2011 and earned her license in 2012 as a Professional in Human Resources. She grew up all over the country, New York and Indiana and settled in Texas in 2003. I guess you would call her a natural Texan now! Cyndee has four kids and four dogs so her life is always busy. She loves football, traveling and swimming or sitting on the back porch and relaxing every now and then.
Why does Cyndee love working for TSAOG? “Because it pushes me out of my comfort zone and allows me to explore new opportunities in an industry, I haven’t previously worked in. The culture and atmosphere are busy, crazy busy, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I get to meet new people every day, get to help people every day and get to experience healthcare in a new way. I love engaging with my boss, my peers and my team.“

In 2018 she started working as a Reception Specialist at the OI location. She immediately fell in love with TSAOG. Everything from the work environment to my coworkers, to decorating for Halloween and decorating for every Holiday for that matter. I knew at that moment I had found my work home.
About a year later Ericka started working as a Human Resource Assistant where she learned so much more about the Company and all the fun stuff TSAOG has to offer. A little while later she transitioned to a Recruiter role as the, “Talent Acquisition Specialist” where she gets to recruit for the surgery center positions and radiography.

When the position of Talent Acquisition Coordinator became available in February of 2022 Angela was beyond excited for the opportunity to recruit for the company that had always supported her over the years. She felt this was her chance to help grow our TSAOG family.
Angela loves spending time with her family. She has a passion for Art and painting. She also loves making celebration baskets for loved ones and friends.
Being part of the HR department makes it possible to meet and learn more about our employees (aka my TSAOG family) and I am grateful to be part of such a wonderful team.
