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.

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!

Our first time here and we were originally coming in for a follow up visit from the hospital because my child had pneumonia. They seemed to really care and showed concern for her well being and asked all the right questions and let me ask all the questions I had even though I felt like I had a lot. All and all I found my daughter's new primary care physician with no hesitation on the matter!
