Physician - Pediatrics

Temple / Central Texas

General outpatient pediatrics for a young, healthy, insured population.

Before you rule out the location, Temple is worth a closer look. It's a growing Central Texas healthcare market where your income generally goes much further than it would in Austin. You can live in Temple, Belton, Salado, or Harker Heights, have a manageable commute, and still be within reach of Austin and Waco. The area offers lakes, outdoor recreation, affordable housing, and a stable military and medical economy.

For someone who wants meaningful work without paying big-city prices or sitting in big-city traffic, it can be a very attractive quality-of-life move.

Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS) – about 1 hour 15 minutes from the facility;
Waco Regional (ACT) is about 50 minutes.

You will practice at a large, full-service medical center in Central Texas — a teaching hospital campus with inpatient and outpatient services, on-site imaging, laboratory, pharmacy, and a broad multispecialty medical staff. Support is built in: scheduling, nursing, and ancillary teams handle the administrative load so your day stays clinical. The patient population is stable, insured, and largely young to middle-aged families and working adults.
