Meet Dr. Kathryn Wheeler
I grew up in Tyler, TX and was drawn to medicine at a very young age. My pediatrician growing up was my father's pediatrician, and I loved that we had that special connection. I liked the idea of primary care and having long standing relationships with my patients, but it wasn't until medical school where I fell in love with pediatrics. I did most of my pediatric rotations at Cook Children's and knew that it was perfect fit for me.
I'm a Texas girl through and through. I graduated from Texas A&M University (gig 'em) and attended medical school at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Ft. Worth. I made my way to Austin to complete my pediatric residency at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. Following residency, I had the opportunity to practice primary care in the Austin area, where I was recognized as a Top Doc for Kids 2021 in Austin Monthly Magazine.
I'm passionate about building a rapport with parents and patients as someone that they can trust. People often feel very vulnerable at the doctor's office, and I want my patients to feel heard and acknowledged with every interaction. I am an advocate for early childhood nutrition. I believe that starting healthy lifestyles early has a huge impact on physical, mental, and emotional health into adulthood. I am so honored to practice pediatrics, and love watching kids grow up. Just to be a piece of their lives is truly special.
When I'm not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and our two dogs. I like to cook, spin, and finding a good book when I'm not chasing a toddler. I also enjoy traveling and getting to explore new places. It has been so fun looking at the world through my daughter's eyes. Being a parent has given me the greatest insight in my practice, and love being able to connect with other families.

Dr wheeler is the absolute best! She always listens to me and brings me in to discuss things if she feels like I have concerns and is really good about getting me in same day. She always listens to what I have to say and is compassionate and doesn't disregard me or my opinions or decisions for second opinions etc. She always makes me feel like I'm not crazy and gives me reassurance. Always on top of everything with my two boys and is always being proactive about health situations with both of them.
