He replaces David Mouton, M.D., who established and led the Nuclear Medicine team at Kelsey-Seybold for 45 years, after a two-year transition process.

Dr. Longoria earned his medical degree at The University of Texas-Southwestern Medical School. After graduating, Dr. Longoria spent five years at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where he served as Chief Resident of Radiology in his last year.
