Dell Children's Medical Group pediatricians

Board-certified pediatricians with Dell Children’s Medical Group in Central Texas provide primary care for infants, children and teens. Each appointment starts with a conversation between you, your child and your child’s pediatrician. Your child’s doctor takes the time to get to know your child and family. Then, we deliver care that’s right for your child. Our pediatricians care for the whole child, including newborn care, regular checkups and vaccinations, care when your child is sick, and care for mental and emotional health. And if your child needs advanced specialty care, your child’s pediatrician connects you with the right pediatric specialists at Dell Children’s. Dell Children’s Medical Group pediatricians work closely with Dell Children’s specialists, surgeons, nurses, therapists, child life specialists and more – so that your child’s care is always connected.

Prenatal consultations

If you are an expecting parent, you may want to choose your baby’s pediatrician before they are born. At Dell Children's, we provide prenatal consultations so that you can select the best pediatrician and care team for your new family. Together, we can discuss any concerns you may have and what to expect once your baby is born. And, you can start a trusted relationship with a Dell Children’s Medical Group pediatrician that continues as your baby grows.

Primary care for children

Your child’s pediatrician is often your first stop for getting preventive and ongoing care for your child. Pediatric primary care includes:

  • Annual well-child visits
  • Physicals for school, camp and sports
  • Sick child visits
  • Mental and emotional health care
  • Referrals to pediatric specialists
  • Management of chronic conditions
  • Vaccinations and screenings
  • Newborn care
  • Prenatal consultations

Same-day and next-day appointments

If it’s not an emergency and your child’s doctor’s office is open, that’s the right place to start for minor illnesses. If your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911. Talk to your child’s pediatrician about any concerning symptoms such as:

  • Body aches or chills
  • Cough
  • Diarrhea
  • Ear pain
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Rash
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Sore throat
  • Stomach pain
  • Vomiting
