Growing up in Albuquerquethe sonofanorthopedicsurgeon, Kyle Altman always hadan interest in amedical career
“I wasnaturally drawntoorthopedics,but triedtokeep an open mind andexplore my options” he said,addingwitha laugh: “Infact, Idid everythingI couldtostayawayfromorthopedics.But Iguess Iloved it toomuch.”
Today, theorthopedicsurgeon specializes in hipand knee replacementswithSportsMedicineAssociates, whichhas sixlocations in theSan Antonioarea.
Before becoming adoctor, however, he wasanaccomplishedsoccerplayer, both in Albuquerqueand at Trinity University,where he wasa pre-med undergraduateand played on the school team
“I wanted to go somewherethat wouldfurther my academic ambitions butwhere Icould also play high-level soccer,”explained Altman. “Trinity checkedboththose boxes.”
Playingbothdefense andmidfield, Altman helped lead Trinitytothe national championship game in 2007 He wasalsoa two-time,first team AllAmerican,twice namedconference defensiveplayerofthe year andan academic All-American
He played soccerprofessionally for five yearsbeforeretiringtoattend medicalschool at theUniversityof TexasHealthScience Center at San Antonio.
Altman acknowledges that his experience as aprofessional athlete helped inform hisdecisiontospecializeinorthopedics
“A lotofpeoplewho go into the fieldtendtohavea sports background,” he said.“They’refamiliarwithbiomechanics, theway thebodyworks.It’s kind of anatural segue. ”
Aftergetting hismedical degree, he joined Sports Medicine Associates in 2023,inpartbecause thegroup’s founder, Dave Schmidt, wasthe Trinity team doctor while he played there.
Atypical dayfor Altman involves workingwithpatientsinboththe office andthe operatingroom.
“I’llsee anywhere between 25 and35 people in clinic andthendotwo to five surgeries,”hesaid.
He also takescalls across town to coverany consults or emergenciesthat come in

Dr.Kyle Altman
Altman said hisNo. 1request of patients whomight notwanttomeet himina hospital emergencyroom wouldbetoavoid playingpickleball— or at leasttotakesomeprecautions before stepping on thecourt
“Aspickleballhas become increasinglypopular,I’vedefinitelyseen an uptick in wrist, elbowand shoulder fractures,”hesaid. “You need to understand your limitsand do cross training to avoidinjuries.”
Maintainingstrongand healthy legs,for example, will help preventthe tripsand falls that bedevilsomanynew pickleball players.
He also treats alot of patients with arthritisand says thebestway to avoid thecondition,oratleast reduce the pain,istostayactive.
“Exerciseisprobablythe best thing youcan do forthe long-termhealthof your joints andbones,” said Altman who, hasthree children, ages 7years to 20 months,withhis wife Hunter,a pediatrician.“People maythink rest is best,but it’s better to keep moving.”
Thesedays, Altman is sure to take hisown advice,limitinghis soccer playingtokicking theballaroundwith histwo olderkids.
“I no longer play competitively,”he said.“My body can’thandlethatanymore.Thatshiphas sailed.” ★

WhenDr. NivedithaBalakumar arrivedinSan Antonio, she only plannedtostayfor ayear. It wasJuly2020, in themidst of the COVID-19 pandemic,whenshe arrived to startworkatChristusChildren’s Hospital
“I told myself,I’m goingtogive myself oneyearhere,”she said Five yearslater,she’s still caring for SanAntonio’s sickestchildren, with no planstoleave.
“I don’tsee myself moving anywhere anytimesoon,” shesaid.
BalakumarcametoTexas afterstops on theEastCoast:She completedmedicalschool in India, then pediatrics residencyinNew York City anda fellowship in critical care in Miami.
Shechose pediatrics becauseshe likesseeing patients from newborns and toddlerstoteenagers,“almost like you’re growingupwiththem.”
As themedical director of thehospital’spediatric intensivecareunit, Balakumarisseeingchildren—andtheir families— in theirmostchallenging moments.
“Theycomeinextremely sick and fragile andvulnerable,”she said.“You make decisionsina matterofmoments andseconds that change theentire course of achild’s life.”
She’salsofocused on constantly improvingthe care childrenreceive by reviewingdataand implementing changeswithher team
Oneofthose projects is part of a nationwide critical care initiative,aimed at aiding patients’recoveryand transition outofintensive care
“The patientcomes to theICU,and oftentimes we don’tknowhow much life alters aftertheir stay in theICU,” Balakumarsaid. To addressthat, the projectincludesassessing medication, rehabilitationefforts, earlymobility exercisesand othereffortsduringtheir stay that canhelppatientsafter they leave.
Balakumarisalsothe medicaldirectorofthe hospital’s AllKidzTransport program, whichworks to safely move childrentoreceive specialized care
“Insimplewords,it’slikea mobile ICU,”she said
An ongoingfocus is workingto transportpatientsthatare usingheartlung machines fora treatmentcalled extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or “ECMO.”

Themachine pumpsblood outside thebodytodothe work of theheart and lungs. Christus is workingtoprovide mobile ECMO —transportingchildren while they’reundergoingthe treatment.
“I’m really excitedfor that to roll out,” Balakumarsaid.
Seeing kids in bedconnected to thosekinds of machines andtubes is “one of thehardest things youcan see, ” shesaid— butinthose moments, she’s oftenthinkingabout theirlives outside thehospitalroom
Parentsoften decorate theirchildren’s roomswithpicturesfromwhen they were healthy, whichserve as a visual reminder of what theICU team is workingtoward.
“Let’s seehow we canget that child better, to getthatsmile back again, so they cangohomewiththeir family,” Balakumarsaid. “That’sthe onething that keepsmeand allofmyteammembers going, is workingtowardgetting that child home.” ★

WALK IT OFF. SUCK IT UP.NOPAIN, NO GAIN
We’vebeentaughttoignorepain. Or that pain is good.Why? Pain is ourbody’swarning siren, alerting us to aproblem. Insteadofwriting it off,weshouldbe listeningtoit.
Even mild discomfort canimpactour qualityoflife— distractingusduringa meetingorour kid’sfootballgame. It doesn’thavetobethatway.Understanding thecause of your pain is thefirststeptowardgetting back to the importantthings in life
Olivia knew this pain alltoo well.Asa momofthree,she’s been juggling summer activities,getting heryoungestoffto college, andkeeping hersmall business running. Plus,she’s been dealingwithpersistentpaininher left ankleand foot for awhile.
Herpodiatristdiagnosedher with posteriortibialtendon dysfunction, more commonly knownasflatfoot.Heprescribed over-the-counter anti-inflammatory meds,referredher to a physical therapist, andrecommended sheget an MRItorule outanythingmoreserious.Oliviafollowedhis advice on the first twobut worriedthe scan wasbeyondher budget.She’s not aloneinthatconcern:Fourin10U.S.adultshavedelayed or avoidedseeking medicalcarebecause of thecost, accordingto KFF, anonpartisan health policyresearchnonprofit.
Over thesummer, though,the aching in Olivia’s foot expanded to herhipsand knees. Herdaily walkswithMabel,the family’s border collie,weren’t so much funassufferfests. Sherealizedit wastimetoreconsiderher options.
Olivia took acloserlookatAmericanHealthImaging,the outpatient medicalimaging companyshe foundonline. AHI wasin-networkwithher health insurance(in fact,it’saligned with 99 percentofmajor health insuranceplans)and,she discovered,anMRI at AHIwould cost up to 60 percentless than at thelocal hospital.
Olivia realized shewas only acoupleofhundred bucksfrom
reaching herdeductible. Plus,she hadsomemoney available throughtheir Health SavingsAccount (HSA)meaning heroutof-pocketcontributionwould be minimal.
Cost wasn’t theonlybenefitOliviadiscoveredwhenshe contactedAHI.With6convenientlocations throughout theSan Antonioarea, AHIalsohas earlymorning,evening,and even weekendavailability, whichmadeiteasyfor Olivia to schedule somethingaroundher hectic calendar.
Afew days afterher MRI, Olivia received atext messagetoviewan interactive,patient-friendly versionofher imaging report.AsOlivia read, medical terms were translated into plain language, diagrams helped explain where there were tissue issues in her ankle as her doctor had suspected. She wouldn’thave had any of this information at her fingertips had she opted to get her imaging done at ahospital. Thanks to AHI, she had the basic answers she needed and was prepared with specific questions for the surgeon when they met.


Olivia’sscans revealed that she needs atenosynovectomy, aprocedure to clean and remove inflamed tissue around the tendon. She’ll have to wear abrace for afew weeks after the treatment,but within three months, she should be back to lowkey walks with Mabel…and back to her normal busy lifeminus all the pain.
If the pain ever returns, she knows American Health Imaging will be there to help her see what’shappening inside her body and get the answers she needs to get back to her life —without breaking the bank.
