Services
Well-Child Exams
Comprehensive wellness visits monitor growth, development, and overall health. Our physicians conduct thorough physical exams, administer age-appropriate screenings, and provide guidance for maintaining optimal health between visits. These appointments ensure early detection of potential issues while establishing baseline health metrics for growing children.
Immunizations
We offer complete immunization schedules following CDC guidelines. Our team educates families about vaccine safety while administering required shots for disease prevention. Regular vaccination appointments protect children against common illnesses and meet school enrollment requirements through documented immunization records.
Sick Visits
Same-day appointments address urgent medical concerns like fevers, infections, or injuries. Our providers diagnose conditions promptly and create targeted treatment plans. We differentiate between minor illnesses and emergencies requiring immediate intervention while offering follow-up care for recovering patients.
School Physicals
Pre-participation exams evaluate students' readiness for athletic activities. We complete required forms documenting cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, and general fitness levels. These assessments identify potential risks while certifying students for safe participation in school sports programs.
After-Hours Care
24/7 on-call service connects families with medical professionals during office closures. A dedicated nurse triage line handles urgent questions while ensuring physician availability for critical situations. This system provides continuous healthcare access while reserving emergency room visits for life-threatening conditions.

Report
We were patients with this practice before we left Austin 4 years ago and it speaks to the quality of the practice that when we returned back to Austin we were more than happy to reestablish with them again. We see Dr. Glazener and I like his laid back common sense approach with treatment. He has a lot of experience and always ends every suggestion or discussion with "Is there anything else on your mind?" He makes sure the parents have thoroughly reviewed everything they needed to and gives them the space and time to do so. in this fast paced world, I enjoy Dr. Glazener's relaxed non neurotic approach to pediatric care. we highly recommend Austex Pediatrics!

I can not say enough good things about Austex Pediatrics Doctors and staff. They are always willing to help and never seem annoyed with a million questions parents may have. They really seem like a family there who cares wholeheartedly about our own.

Dr. Melody Cassels went above and beyond for our sick child last spring during a very scary and uncertain time. I was humbled and appreciated this attention when we were so vulnerable. Dr. Glazener is a very compassionate and concerned doctor as well and we are comfortable seeing all the doctors there. Nurse Barbara goes the extra mile!
