Maria Falcon-Cantrill, MD

Maria G. Falcon-Cantrill, MD is Board Certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology / Oncology and practices at Pediatric Specialists of Texas in San Antonio.

Dr. Falcon-Cantrill originally planned to practice obstetrics and gynecology, but found herself instinctively following the baby after delivery. Her mentor told her it was surely a sign that she needed to consider pediatrics instead. Since then, all signs indicate that pediatric hematology/oncology is truly her calling. Despite being apprehensive and emotional the night before her first rotation, by the end of the day she didn't want to leave the patients.

She has a Bachelor of Science degree from University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. She then studied medicine, and completed her residency in pediatrics and her fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She was recognized as Outstanding Resident in Pediatrics during the second and third years of her residency.

Dr. Falcon is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Texas Medical Association, Children's Oncology Group, American Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, and American Society of Hematology. She sees patients at Pediatric Specialists of Texas and Methodist Children’s Hospital.
