Biography
Dr. Austin has enjoyed a thriving pediatric practice in Tyler since 1998. While interesting medical cases provide challenge, most enjoyment comes from the simple day to day relationships established with children and their parents. It is a great pleasure to partner with families in the care of their kids. Special interests include mental health and Dr. Austin has developed a reputation for excellent care in this area and takes great pride in assisting patients to live confidently with diagnoses such as ADHD, depression and anxiety. Over his two and a half decades in East Texas he has served on numerous hospital and community boards, volunteered in mission fields domestic and international, taught Sunday School, coached youth sports, and hosted hundreds of colleagues, neighbors and friends in his home. He has been named Tyler's Best Pediatrician in a community poll. In his free time, he enjoys time with his young adult children, his dogs Rocko and Francie, live music, Texas Rangers baseball, gardening, reading, cooking and swinging a golf club poorly.
