📢 Important Refill Update! 📢

Starting now, we will no longer process prescription refill requests sent from pharmacies. We’ve been getting too many outdated or incorrect requests that slow things down and cause confusion.

✅ Need a refill? Just call our office directly so we can review and refill safely and accurately.

We know this is a change, but it helps us give your child the best care possible. 💙

Thanks for understanding!

New data from the CDC shows an increase in children with autism spectrum disorder. The numbers are increasing because of better and earlier screening, identification and access to autism evaluations. This is encouraging because when children are identified early, appropriate supports and services can be better tailored to their needs. Pediatricians want all children to thrive, including autistic children, and they are here to help families navigate screenings and diagnoses. Autistic children demonstrate behaviors that are different from some of their peers, but they are children who deserve love and belonging like all children.

MMR vaccines are available at many local pharmacies, the health department, or your doctor’s office!

With the growing number (48 reported) of measles cases in west Texas I’ve started getting questions about the need for a vaccine booster. I pulled out this image from the last outbreak that might be helpful. Even more helpful is this article about why or why not boosters might be needed:

And, this article that tells where in Texas the cases are located:
