Meet Dr. Eric E. Hopkins
Eric Hopkins, M.D., began his journey toward becoming a pediatrician as a child, going with his great uncle on his physician rounds in Lincoln, Nebraska. He marveled at how this man "made people feel better." As a teen, his own pediatrician encouraged him to volunteer at Texas Children's Hospital. He did, and at age 14 he logged 330 volunteer hours, the most ever recorded by a junior volunteer. The following year, he surpassed his previous record and logged over 480 volunteer hours. By 16 he was a patient care assistant cleaning rooms, doing anything he could and he loved it. He majored in chemistry in college and before attending medical school at The University of Texas Health & Sciences Center in San Antonio, he worked as a nurse and doctors assistant for eight years.
The mark of a great pediatrician is someone who truly cares about kids and works closely with parents to ensure that every child is as happy and healthy as possible. Eric Hopkins, M.D., knows that when a family chooses him as a pediatrician they're entrusting their child to his care. For Dr. Hopkins, the most important thing he can do is talk to, and listen his patients and their parents, letting them ask questions - and answering them. He's also known to tell a joke or two and make the kids (and moms and dads) laugh.
"In many cases, you're going to be with the family for 18 years, and that's an honor. To see the changes is wonderful. You have such an influence. You become a member of each family."
Dr. Hopkins lives with his wife and two children. He has a passion for sports cars, enjoys listening to classic rock, biking, gardening with his wife and kung fu.
I would like to recognize Dr. Eric Hopkins. He is amazing. He is always extremely caring and extremely involved with the kids, and he is so knowledgeable and always right on with identifying what's wrong and helping them get better. So I just wanted to say thank you. He's an amazing amazing pediatrician. Thank you. – Patient family

Dr. Eric Hopkins is the most amazing, caring, and genuine pediatrician ever. He has been our boys' pediatrician since birth (visiting at the hospital and even checking in on me to make sure I was okay), and they love him, including us. He is attentive to them and us (parents) as well. He is always engaged, always informative, and consistently excellent!Dr. Hopkins not only remembers specifics about each of our boys (I know he sees so many kiddos daily, so that is amazing), but he remembers specifics about us (parents) - for example, he remembered that I (mom) am finishing my BSW and wanted to know how it was going and mentioned how excited he was for me. Those are the connections all physicians need to have with their patients. We seriously could not ask for a better pediatrician. I am so thankful that my OBGYN referred us to him six years ago because he is not just our kids' pediatrician; he's like family! Oh, he also has the best and corniest jokes ever, and we try to top his on our each visits but let's be honest, no one will have better jokes than him :)

This was our first visit (we recently changed pediatricians after an extensive search). Our 4 month old LOVED Dr. Hopkins. I have never seen him so talkative and comfortable with a stranger/in a new environment. Dr. Hopkins not only answered all our questions but took time to explain things! It was night and day from our previous pediatrician. You can tell he genuinely loves the child and listens to the parents and lets them be the decision makers. We drive all the way from downtown Dallas and would drive even further because we are so happy with our experience!!!

Both Dr Hopkins and the MA/ nurse who assisted in swabbing & testing the little patient. She was so patient and spoke to my child so gently as she was very anxious & feared being swabbed & it hurting. MA was gentle, sweet, & very empathetic. We loved her and of course adore Dr Hopkins who ALWAYS is so sweet, respectful, & treats his patients with patience, loving empathy, & speaks about their treatment in a very gentle & dignified manner. We cannot stress how much we love and appreciate him. He makes our visits seamless & enjoyable. My little one forgets about being sick when she sees Dr Hopkins & she's always happy to know when we are going to see him. She cannot wait to hear his jokes! :))

Dr. Hopkins is a tremendous blessing as a pediatrician, I have seen him since 2005 with all three of my sons and he remembers me by name and the first time we met. Every single time we are in, he puts me and my son at ease and I feel so comfortable with his judgement and his recommendations. He has been more than accommodating in helping us to sort out (patient's) medication needs has been a consistent source of support and encouragement in this entire process, for us as parents and for my son as well. I would recommend him (and Andrea and the whole staff) to anyone looking for a pediatrician, he is truly one of the very best.
