About Dr. Snyder
McAllen's Premier Orthopedic Surgeon

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bill Snyder began his private practice in McAllen in 1994 and quickly determined that he wanted to specialize in the treatment of sports injuries, particularly of the shoulder and knee. His interest in this area means that as a patient you have the advantage of an orthopedic surgeon that knows how to gently and properly treat shoulder and knee pain caused by injuries and other conditions. His vision at this facility is to have a place where you are taken care of from beginning to end with the most advanced equipment and highly trained staff available. This is unique in the Rio Grande Valley.
