Pediatric Surgery

We are a ten-person pediatric surgery group with academic affiliation that provides the full spectrum of pediatric surgical care to the Central Texas area. We are the pediatric and neonatal surgeons for two hospital systems currently treating children in the region. We provide pediatric surgical services at Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, a Level I American College of Surgeons Verified Trauma Center and Level 1 Children's Surgery Verification hospital.

This is a rapidly expanding 299 bed, free standing pediatric facility serving a large portion of Central Texas with a full complement of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialists. The hospital provides neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care and ECMO services. Dell Children’s recently opened another hospital in the north part of Austin with 36 hospital beds as a Level III trauma center with pediatric surgical services where we provide care.

In addition, we provide pediatric and neonatal surgical coverage for two HCA hospitals in the Austin area, including a level 4 NICU. We are looking for eager, young pediatric surgeons who want to be clinically busy, are interested in early administrative opportunities and leadership, surgical program development, and have an interest in academic pursuits.

We are closely aligned with the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas - Austin with opportunities for clinical research and teaching. We are a NSQIP and PHIS participating hospital with a dedication to excellent patient care. Dell Children’s has a pediatric residency program, and general surgery residents and medical students rotate on our service at both hospital systems. Our main office building is conveniently located adjacent to the Dell Children’s hospital.

Some of our surgeons are co-founders of an Austin based international surgical outreach program that provides opportunities to get involved in surgical trips to developing nations.

Austin is the state capital and is consistently ranked as one of the best US cities in which to live. It is home to the University of Texas and is known as the “live music capital of the world.” The subtropical climate affords the opportunity for year-round outdoor activities and our location at the foothills of the Texas Hill Country enable great access to hiking, biking, fishing, and water sports.

We offer a competitive compensation package with a short track to partnership and a collegial work environment in the setting of this beautiful and rapidly growing area.

Sincerely,
