A few years into practice, she met the man who would become her husband and moved to South Texas. The two would take trips to the Hill Country and after a few more years of battling the South Texas heat, they finally moved to the Spring Branch area. Dr. Serafine and her husband have 3 dogs; Blue, Trip and Whiskey. For fun, they enjoy going to whiskey and wine tastings, target shooting with bows and guns, cooking and gardening. At work, Dr. Serafine especially enjoys bladder stone removal surgeries and dental procedures.
