Meet Dr. Erika Brucks
Hi! I'm Dr. Brucks. Early on, I knew I enjoyed working with children and gained experience through babysitting, leading after-school programs, volunteering as a camp counselor and tutoring. I also had a strong interest in science, especially fields focused on the human body. During medical school, I realized pediatrics was the perfect fit for me. One of the things I love most about being a pediatrician-aside from having the cutest patients in the world-is building trusting relationships with children and their families.
A Fort Worth native, I graduated from Crowley High School and earned my undergraduate degree in nutritional sciences from Texas Tech University. I then attended the University of North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I graduated with honors before moving to Austin to complete my pediatric training. I'm thrilled to be back home, serving my community by caring for Cowtown's youngest members.
As a mom to an active toddler, I understand both the joys and challenges that come with raising a child. I'm dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to every patient and believe strongly in partnering with families to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, and dog, watching baseball or documentaries, baking, and trying my hand at gardening.

We were about 5 minutes late. But they still let us come in. I'm sure any wait time we experienced was because we showed up late.
