Meet Dr. William Paruolo
Dr. Paruolo has been a pediatrician for nearly 25 years. He has loved every single day of it and has never regretted it once. Some people say he was born to be a pediatrician...others say it is more that he has the same sense of humor as most of his patients. Either way, this is the only thing that he has ever wanted to do, and has been lucky enough to be able to do so.
He went to Baylor University where he attained his BS in Biology. He then went on to University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School, and after did his residency at Children's Hospital of Oklahoma City for the University of Oklahoma.
The simple reason that Bill is a pediatrician is that he loves children and just wants to help. He wants to help them and he wants to help the parents navigate through raising their children. He likes to joke to the parents of his patients that he will help with everything about raising their child short of changing their diapers. (And he has even done that on occasion, but let's not make that an expectation!)
While not in the office playing with the kiddos, he is at home with his beautiful wife and however many of his children are still at home (he has six in various stages of career, college and grade school! Perhaps that's why he spends so much time at the office?) He loves spending time with his family on vacations to the mountains, or staying home dreaming that he was in the mountains. Reading, hiking and fishing are his hobbies.

We are so grateful to the front desk staff who let us wait outside the front door instead of in the lobby since our sick toddler did not want to wear the mask.

We just can't trust his care to anyone else!

I can't remember the nurse's name that spoke with us before the doctor but she was so kind, encouraging and great with my daughter. She was helpful with instructions on helping my daughter get the flu shot successfully during the visit. And as always Dr. Paruolo was fantastic as usual. Even if it's a year since visiting him he remembers us on a personal level. My children actually look forward to going to the Dr because of the excellent care Dr. Paruolo provides.

We just love Dr. Bill Paruolo. He and all members of his practice go above and beyond to help my children. I trust him and his recommendations. My children and I feel 'heard' every time we have seen him and know that he really cares about his patients. The nurses also are so fast on getting back to us with any follow-up questions or needs. Heck, if I could be a patient of Dr. Bill Paruolo, I would! It will be sad when my children eventually age out.
