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. Dr. Paruolo is always so efficient, patient, and kind with our child at each visit. Although we have moved further away, we will continue to come to him for anything our child needs. 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.

My van died on the way to our appointment. My kids and I walked the last mile to his office in 25ish (feels like 19) degree weather. We arrived 15 - 20 minutes late, but Dr. Bills whole staff was nothing but supportive and compassionate! They were prepared to see us whenever we were able to get there! WOW! Talk about top caliber service! My heart is overflowing!
-
January 16, 2024
We LOVE Dr. Bill! We were nervous to see him transition to join Cook's Children's. We were worried he would lose autonomy to continue the amazing care we'd become accustomed to receiving. Thankfully, it seems like the move only helped him have less stress / business worries (app services, billing, etc.) and keep doing what he does best! We are blessed to have Dr. Bill for our kids! He relates so well to each one of them (15, 12, and 6). I admire how easily he works to build a relationship with them anytime he sees them. He shows them he cares by listening to them fully, puts their cares / issues first, and talks to them very honestly and compassionately. I absolutely love that many of the things he tells our children align perfectly with what / how we explain things to them. We cannot sing his praises loudly enough!
