Annual Pediatric Checkup
Comprehensive wellness exams track growth and development while addressing parental concerns. Our providers perform age-appropriate screenings, administer recommended vaccines, and offer guidance on nutrition, behavior, and safety. These visits establish baseline health metrics and foster long-term patient-doctor relationships critical for preventive care.
Allergy Testing
We identify environmental allergens through skin prick testing and blood analysis. Our specialists develop customized treatment plans including avoidance strategies, medication management, and immunotherapy options. Summer months provide optimal conditions for diagnosing seasonal allergy patterns affecting children.

Dr. Mirop is the most kind and loving physician we have ever had. He is gentle, super smart and never in a rush. Our son loves visiting his office because he has taken so much care to make it a joyful place.

My kids have been coming to Pediatric Associates of Austin for 14 years. Ever since my youngest was born. Good doctors however bit dismissive. Especially regarding our massive sleep issues with my now 14 year old who recently had to be admitted. Eventually they kicked us out of their practice because we are off schedule for vaccines. Both my kids have nervous system issues and I needed to be cautious and make informed decisions regarding vaccines.
I'm sad to say goodbye to this practice, my kids love the staff and doctors. There were long term relationships built here. I do wish they would listen to parents a bit more since we are the ones spending day and night with our kids. Not the most wholistic approach to medical care.

Dr Mirrop is a wonderful caring pediatrician and has an amazing rapport with his patients and their parents. Sick or well, they look forward to seeing him and know that he personally cares about their well-being. Often he and his office staff have gone over and beyond in so many circumstances that enough good things can not be listed.

Emily is an AMAZING Nurse Practitioner and all around wonderful human being. She was such a comfort to my husband, myself and most importantly our daughter by explaining everything she was doing, answering all questions and making our daughter laugh like they were old buds! She really made this visit fun and I can honestly say I've never said that about a Dr visit. We are so so happy that our daughter is a patient here and especially happy and grateful that we were seen by Emily today. Thank you Pediatric Associates of Austin for employing such a wonderful and caring staff.

Love this place! They always have last minute openings for anything that comes up. Every pediatrician we've seen has been very through in explaining everything. They're very knowledgeable! Everyone is so nice and caring! Each room has a theme and it's always fun to see what room we get. Would recommend this place to anyone!

My son loves Dr. Gonzales. He's 16 and really enjoys knowing she's a mom of teens as well. This makes these appointments feel compassionate and on point. Thanks again for being a trusted source for both of our teens!
