Situated between Tarrytown and Rosedale neighborhoods, Pediatric Associates of Austin is conveniently located in the heart of Austin, Texas. Since the practice first opened in 1974, the doctors and nurses here have treated many of the city’s children. Some of their former patients have even brought their own children to the practice, creating a family legacy at Pediatric Associates of Austin.
All of the doctors at Pediatric Associates of Austin are board-certified pediatricians. Many of them are also fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Between all of the doctors, the team has a diverse array of specialties and experiences that help them provide excellent, comprehensive pediatric care.
The full list of doctors at the practice include:
In addition to our physicians, Pediatric Associates of Austin also employs highly qualified Advanced Practice Providers (APP's), including Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (CPNP’s) and Certified Physician Assistants (PA-C's). Nurse practitioners have been working alongside our PAA physicians for over 10 years, serving at our After Hours Kids Clinic, our SportsSafe Concussion Clinic, and in our daytime office. Each of our nurse practitioners brings extensive varied experiences from various work environments including ENT, neurology, urgent care, hematology, infectious disease, and primary care. All pediatric nurse practitioners have a master’s degree in nursing and certification by a national pediatric nursing board. Our nurse practitioners are all CPNP-PC’s. This means each is certified specifically in the area of pediatric primary care; allowing them to care for infants from birth through 21 years of age. PNP’s not only diagnose and treat common illnesses, but also focus on health education and illness prevention. In Texas, PNP’s are supervised by a physician; ours are so fortunate to receive training and be mentored by the wonderful physicians at Pediatric Associates of Austin.
Many of the providers at Pediatric Associates of Austin also provide care through SportsSafe: Concussion. Brain. Body. and After Hours Kids, which are both located in the same building.
SportsSafe: Concussion. Brain. Body. Provides baseline testing, concussion evaluations, and concussion education for student-athletes. After Hours Kids provides medical care for children during evenings and on weekends.
In addition to these extension programs, Pediatric Associates of Austin also has an on-site lab. This lets them expedite blood work when needed.
We provide exceptional medical care for children from birth through college. At Pediatric Associates of Austin, we offer personal, comprehensive service including on-site laboratory and digital imaging. All of our nurses are Registered Nurses who have a vast knowledge of pediatric medicine. Our physicians are all Board-Certified Pediatricians.

In this post Dr. Diane Arnaout, a Pediatrician at Cook Children's discusses a topic we must keep at top of mind at all times, especially in the summer when swimming is such a common activity to keep us out of the Texas heat.
Dr. Mowry was such an amazing part of our PAA family and we wish her all her family all the best in Denver, CO. She wanted her patients to know how much she treasured the relationships she had with each of you. Her farewell letter is below.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive, high quality medical care to your family. We are honored to be your family’s medical home.

AFTER HOURS KIDS is a pediatric care clinic staffed by Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Certified Physician Assistants as an after hours extension to Pediatric Associates of Austin. It is common for problems to present themselves after regular hours for children 18 years and younger. We have an on-site lab available, and we are open to the general public.
AFTER HOURS KIDS is not a Primary Care Provider and does not accept patients for on-going primary care.
Ear Piercing available at After Hours Kids
Since a newborn’s ears are not fully developed and they typically have not received their first two tetanus vaccines, ear piercing in children under 4 months is not recommended. We advise piercings to be done between 4 to 6 months or after 12 years of age. However, some exceptions can be made. Click here for more information.
