Pediatric Care
Our pediatric care covers preventive checkups, acute illness treatment, and chronic condition management. Board-certified providers use evidence-based practices to address developmental milestones, vaccinations, and behavioral health. Services include same-day appointments for urgent needs and long-term care plans tailored to each child's growth and family dynamics.
After-Hours Visits
Access urgent pediatric care during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Our after-hours services treat fevers, minor injuries, respiratory issues, and other acute concerns. Telemedicine and in-person options ensure timely care without resorting to ER visits, with a $30 fee for after-hours appointments.

Certified lactation consultants provide personalized guidance for breastfeeding challenges.

My family is fairly new to the Austin area, but I got super lucky with Southwest Pediatrics! My daughter just turned two and is pretty scared about going to the doctors office.but Dr. Gu and the medical assistant (I'm sorry, I forgot her name!) are quick and most of all, gentle! We've been so fortunate to have been seeing Dr. Gu for a year now and she never makes me feel like any concern is too small to be addressed. It's also important to note it's tough dealing with a squirming toddler, so props to Dr. Gu and staff for an awesome job!

We've worked with swpedi since they helped deliver our DD in 2012 and have always been happy with their doctors and staff. We've worked with Dr Jollett and Nurse York many times this year - in the second year of the pandemic, either after hours, with online appointments, or on demand to deal with acute issues and they're both always wonderful and patient with our family. Highly recommend!

This group of Doctors has always been avaliable for us and they really care about their patients. They are easy to communicate with. Dr. Chapa has been our pediatrician for 3 years and he is so kind and caring. We've occasionally seen Dr. Wagner and I also have a lot of confidence in him. There isn't a doctor there that I wouldn't want my kids to be seen by and we appreciate all of their hard work and long hours.

We had a great wellness visit with Dr. Gu. She was exceptional during the visit and provided us with growth charts and additional information on a card -easy to remember and save. The appointment started on time! No wait time in waiting room. Great service overall.
