Meet Dr. Emily Dewar
Emily Dewar, MD, IBCLC, firmly believes that working with children is the best possible job you can have. Dr. Dewar says, "There are very few other careers where you can regularly find giggles and knock-knock jokes at work, and the imaginations of children make every day joyful!"
A Fort Worth native, she spent her childhood seeing the same doctor that her father went to as a child, and got to see firsthand the life-long relationships that families build with their pediatrician. After graduating from Paschal High School, Dr. Dewar went on to complete her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin (hook 'em), and her medical degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. She returned to Austin for residency at the University of Texas Dell Medical School, during which time she was recognized with a teaching award for cultivating a positive learning environment for medical students. During her residency training, she also became certified as a lactation consultant to better support parents through the highs and lows of breastfeeding.
In addition to bonding with her patients, Dr. Dewar is passionate about creating lasting relationships with their families as well. She says, "Families come in all shapes and sizes, and it is important to me that parents and caregivers feel welcomed and supported in my office. Nothing makes me happier than connecting with people and helping to ease their concerns." Understanding your health is important, and she works hard to communicate effectively with children (and their grown-ups) so that they can be active participants in their own care.
When she is not working with her fabulous patients, Dr. Dewar enjoys spending time with her family, reading (a lot), trying her hand at DIY projects, and attempting to teach her dogs not to jump on strangers when they are excited.
