Meet Dr. Wuroh Timbo
Most pediatricians will tell you they have the best job in the world, and they're right. Personally, my interests in Pediatrics started at a very young age. I have a very large family (I have over 50 aunts and uncles!), which means when growing up, I got to interact with cousins of all age ranges. I always loved playing with and when necessary, taking of care my younger cousins. So, when I decided I wanted to go into medicine, pediatrics was a natural fit. Pediatrics is such a broad field spanning from infancy to the beginnings of adulthood, and I enjoy being a part of every step along that transition for my patients.
I've called many parts of this country home. I was born in South Carolina; grew up in Maryland, where I spent most of my life; went to college at the University of Delaware; attended Medical School at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; and finally, completed my Pediatrics training during Residency at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. So, I've seen a little bit of everything but I'm very excited to be calling Texas my new home, and to begin building my practice and my life here.
I have always viewed medicine as a collaborative endeavor. It is important to me that my patients and their families feel as though they are heard during our appointments. No one should ever leave with the nagging thought that any part of their concerns were not fully addressed.
Outside of work, my two biggest interests are music and sports (Go Ravens!). I enjoy all forms of music and appreciate a good performance just as much in a small coffee shop as I do in a large stadium. Currently, I am working on learning the guitar.
Although I am well past my glory days of playing competitive sports, I enjoy keeping up with all the major sports and engaging in various forms of exercising (weight training, hiking, yoga, etc.) I especially love living vicariously through my patients when they tell me about their athletic exploits.
When there are no songs to listen to or sports to watch, I am honing my culinary skills. I enjoy learning new recipes and perfecting the ones that I really like. When I am tired of being in the kitchen, which happens often, I love exploring new restaurants and different cuisines. So, if you have any suggestions of must-try restaurants (or hikes, for that matter), I'm all ears.
I am looking forward to beginning this journey of Pediatric Medicine with you and your family. See you in the office!

Everyone was amazing. But I'd like to say how much we appreciate Dr Timbo. First child, first appt, first time outside of the house with baby - he was kind, polite, respectful, and understanding. He allowed me to speak my entirety before responding/answering questions, eased my anxiety about small things, and the best part, although numbers and counts of things are important for newborns, he asked about them but specifically stated to follow my baby's cues and what she needs. Which made both me and her father leaving feeling that he took time to understand our daughter as an individual and not another number/compared to norms. It has currently given us full confidence in him providing care to our daughter.
