South Texas Renal Care Group

What South Texas Renal Care Group does

South Texas Renal Care Group, operating under the d/b/a Texas Kidney Care (STRCG), is a privately held, physician-owned multi-location nephrology practice founded in 2004 by Dr. M. Reza Mizani in San Antonio, Texas. The group operates 12 modern facilities across South Central Texas—seven in San Antonio and five in surrounding communities (Boerne, Hondo, Lytle, Pleasanton, Eagle Pass)—supported by approximately 120 physicians and clinical/administrative staff. Its service portfolio covers the full kidney-care continuum: chronic kidney disease (CKD) management across all five stages, in-center and at-home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, hypertension treatment, diabetic kidney disease care, pre- and post-kidney transplant coordination with Methodist Texas Transplant Institute and University Transplant Center, and clinical research trial participation. A wholly owned sub-brand, Total Vascular Care, operates an accredited ambulatory surgical center that handles dialysis-access creation and maintenance (fistulagrams, angioplasty, stent placement, thrombectomy, catheter services), allowing the practice to retain vascular procedures in-house.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for a community nephrology practice: state-of-the-art dialysis equipment across facilities, an electronic patient portal, online appointment scheduling via healow.com and leadingreach.com, downloadable physician referral forms, and Skype/FaceTime-based telehealth. There is no proprietary software platform, no AI/ML capability, and no disclosed patents; the practice competes on physician expertise, facility footprint, and care-coordination depth rather than technology differentiation. The patient mix is dominated by diabetic or pre-diabetic individuals (~80%) and Medicare beneficiaries (~70%), the latter a function of federal law mandating ESRD coverage.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from professional medical services—patient visits, dialysis treatments, vascular procedures, and ancillary services—billed through Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven: physician-to-physician referrals through a formal referral program, supplemented by patient self-referrals, community health-fair outreach, content marketing (blog, YouTube, social channels), and partnerships with entities such as Texas Kidney Foundation, Methodist Healthcare System, and H-E-B for nutrition education. The practice has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional investors; it appears entirely physician-owned and operated. No revenue, EBITDA, or valuation figures are publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• InterWell Health: A value-based kidney care provider formed by Fresenius, Cricket Health, and InterMountain, focused on CKD and ESRD population health management. Highly comparable to STRCG's aspiration toward integrated, value-based nephrology contracts.
• Concerto Renal Services: A specialist provider of dialysis services within skilled nursing facilities and acute-care settings, offering an alternative care-delivery model for ESRD patients that intersects with STRCG's vascular access and CKD management services.

Direct peers

• Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (DCI): A non-profit dialysis provider with a multi-state clinic network focused on high-quality outpatient dialysis and CKD care. Comparable to STRCG as a physician-aligned, multi-site kidney care operator.
• Satellite Healthcare: A non-profit dialysis and kidney disease provider operating multiple outpatient centers, focused on patient-centered CKD and ESRD care. Comparable to STRCG's integrated nephrology and dialysis model at similar regional scale.
• U.S. Renal Care: The third-largest US dialysis provider, focused primarily on outpatient hemodialysis and integrated nephrology services. Closely comparable to STRCG as a mid-sized multi-site kidney care operator with physician partnerships.
• American Renal Associates (now IRC): A regional dialysis provider acquired by Innovative Renal Care, operating multi-site outpatient dialysis centers with nephrologist partnerships. Comparable as a community-focused dialysis operator competing in similar suburban markets.

Regional players

• Kidney Specialists of South Texas: A smaller regional nephrology group operating in nearby South Texas markets, directly competing with STRCG for nephrologist referrals and CKD patient panels in the broader South Texas area.
• Renal Associates of San Antonio: A San Antonio-based nephrology practice providing CKD and dialysis care, the most direct local competitor for STRCG in its home market. Operates a comparable multi-physician nephrology model.

Broad incumbents

• DaVita Inc. One of the two largest dialysis providers in the US, operating thousands of outpatient dialysis centers. STRCG competes most directly with DaVita's San Antonio dialysis centers, while also being a regional alternative for patients seeking independent nephrology care.
• Fresenius Medical Care: The other dominant US dialysis incumbent with a comparable nationwide clinic footprint. Competes with STRCG on in-center dialysis and increasingly on home dialysis and integrated nephrology services.
