Jeffrey T. Meynig, MD

Dr. Jeffrey Meynig has been practicing surgery in Austin for over 27 years. He earned his medical degree at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. His surgical internship and residency were completed at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston where he received numerous honors and awards. His residency training included lengthy rotations at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and Brackenridge Hospital in Austin.

During his training at MD Anderson, Dr. Meynig learned a technique called lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy. He was one of the first surgeons to introduce this technique in Austin. This minimally invasive approach helps to accurately locate, remove, and evaluate the closest lymph node to the cancer to determine if the cancer has spread. It is used most often in breast cancer and melanoma.

As a patient you will clearly understand your condition, your treatment options, and your procedure with all your questions answered. Dr. Meynig is a Texas Monthly Super Doctor and has received The Patient’s Choice Award and The Compassionate Doctor Recognition Award.
