Jason R. Coffman, MD

Assistant Professor/Clinical

Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery

Department of Orthopaedics

Dr. Coffman is a native Texan born and raised in Amarillo, Texas where he graduated from Tascosa High School. He then attended Texas A&M University for both his undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Medical School. He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Rounding off his Texas medical training he completed a Hand and Upper Extremity fellowship at the Hand Center of the San Antonio with one of the fathers of hand surgery, Dr. David Green. While in college he met his beautiful and caring wife Kimberly, who also has a passion for medicine, and is in the middle of her Interventional Radiology residency at UT Health San Antonio. They recently celebrated 10 years of marriage and have a four-year-old son, Aiden. She is a native to the San Antonio area having grown up in Pleasanton, Texas. The decision to stay in Texas to practice was an easy choice for him as he has a heart for the residents of Texas, particularly the underserved. During his medical training he and his wife traveled to Lima, Peru on medical mission trips over the course of five consecutive years to provide medical care in conjunction with the local community.

Dr. Coffman has an affinity for teaching and has dedicated significant time to teaching students throughout his educational years including student athletes, medical students, and residents, and was awarded the Resident Teaching Award during his residency. Thus, the opportunity to build a career at an institution where resident teaching is a critical component towards overall patient care aligns with his passions. He specializes in common and complex maladies of the hand, wrist, and elbow including traumatic or chronic conditions. He has a particular interest in compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity, arthritic conditions of the hand and wrist, as well various fractures of the arm. The need for physicians has grown significantly as the city of San Antonio has expanded and Drs. Coffman are looking forward to putting down roots, growing their family, and experiencing the rich culture that San Antonio has to offer. During their free time the Coffmans enjoy spending time with their extended family in the Texas Hill Country, including camping at state parks. Their son is also already a thrill seeker and loves spending the weekend at Fiesta Texas and will ride any roller coaster he meets the height requirement for.
