Meet Dr. Kari Galipp
According to her family, it was obvious that Kari Galipp, D.O., was destined to be in medicine even as an infant. To be exact, it was at her nine-month-old well child check when she repeatedly echoed the word "temperature" after hearing the nurse. At the age of 5, after the difficult decision to abandon her brief dreams of becoming a cowgirl or the President, Dr. Galipp settled on pursuing a career as a pediatrician and never looked back.
Dr. Galipp grew up in the small central Texas town of Giddings, and attended Texas A&M University where her premedical studies focused on nutritional sciences and biology. She attended medical school at UNTHSC-TCOM in Fort Worth, where she met her husband. She completed many of her pediatric rotations at Cook Children's, further solidifying her love of caring for kids. Dr. Galipp completed her pediatric residency at the University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, as well as a pediatric hematology and oncology fellowship. She and her family have been looking forward to getting back to their Texas roots and closer to their families!
Despite being trained in hematology and oncology, Dr. Galipp has always remained passionate about primary care in pediatrics as a foundation for helping children grow and reach their full potentials. She finds joy in developing meaningful partnerships with her patients and their families, and creating a long-lasting relationship of trust and confidence.
During her spare time, Dr. Galipp enjoys spending time with her husband Eric and son Miles, her furry children – German shorthair pointers Riley and Finn, and additional family and friends. Dr. Galipp loves cheering on her favorite sports teams, including the Texas Aggies, Dallas Cowboys, and San Antonio Spurs. She loves experiencing foodie finds with Eric, participating in trivia and enjoys many right-brain activities such as baking, cooking, crafting and gardening.

What our families say

Even though Dr. Galipp was running late, we were immediately notified of this by the front office staff, and they continued to communicate wait times with us which was very appreciated.

Dr. Galipp herself... I know it was a long and busy day and she fell behind, but being her last patient on this specific day, she definitely gave us 110% of herself if not more, and did not rush my family one bit. She showed kindness and compassion towards my kiddo and our situation, and approached our concerns from many angles. Dr. Galipp is wonderful and we are so thankful she took the time to address our concerns even well after the clinic closed.

Dr. Galipp- she has been an excellent doctor for my daughter. She is very communicative and shares resources, answers concerns, and she is in tune with her patients. She shows real concern for my daughter, and always goes above and beyond on visits. I never feel rushed, or leave with questions. We love this doctor very much.

Dr. Gallip is amazing! She made the kids feel comfortable after losing the only pediatrician the knew to retirement from Cook's. She didn't force issues with my son (complete physical exam), as well as calmed his concerns over things he heard Dr. Gallip and I talking about. Great bedside manner, outstanding knowledge! Everything I look for in a pediatrician.

Dr. Galipp is exceptional. She takes my daughter's concerns very seriously; treats her with extreme respect. She talks TO and WITH my daughter while including me, the mom. The quality of Dr. Galipp's approach to a sensitive subject is immeasurable. My daughter went from being feeling embarrassed and she regarding the reason for her appointment, to feeling assured and safe and truly cared for.

Dr Galipp was amazing! I loved how she has spoken to my son about privates, asking for consent, talking with him about what is appropriate and what is not, and who can and can't touch them, and where to go to for help if someone is touching them inappropriately and that nothing will happen if they tell. . Kids can handle certain topics and we have these conversations in our home and it helps when another adult is saying the same thing. I was blown away as our previous provider never did.

Yes! Dr. Galipp! She made my son feel comfortable in talking about what may be an uncomfortable or embarrassing topic. I really liked how she directed most, if not all, questions and conversation to him, as he is an adolescent and should learn to speak about his body on his own. The front office staff was also great! I can't remember who checked us in. She was efficient, friendly, and helped answer any questions about billing/insurance which I had.

Kari Galipp goes above and beyond for my son every time we see her. She takes the time to explain things. She actually looks at my son's previous medical history in the office with me before making her suggestion or treatment. She makes great effort to make my son feel calm and safe when he's getting upset and high anxiety. Overall, my husband me are very happy with her being our son's pediatrician!
