August Pediatrics

My husband stays busy with the Knights of Columbus (a charity organization) and faith formation classes. I am an officer in the Catholic Daughters, which is an organization of Catholic women who serve their Church, families and community through faith, unity and charitable projects. I am also a Eucharistic Minister in our Church. My faith is very important to me and has shaped the way I practice medicine. I believe that mental and spiritual health are just as important as physical health for any child or adult.

I serve on several of the Wise Health System committees, including Ethics and Credentialing, Medical Executive, and Physician Health and Wellness. I participate in these committees to ensure that patients receive the best possible care while they are at our hospital. I have been a member of the Decatur Junior Women’s Club, an organization whose main purpose is to raise funds for selected local charities, such as Spirit of Christmas, CASA, Wise County Pregnancy Resource Center, WARM, Wise Christian Counseling, etc.

My husband and I also stay very busy with our three children and all of their activities. As a family we like travelling, camping, and biking, cooking and gardening.

I am board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. I am a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, member of the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Pediatric Society, and the local medical society. I attend conferences every year to receive continuing medical education, to ensure that I can provide my patients with the most up-to-date and comprehensive pediatric care from birth through adolescence.

I look forward to meeting you and your family and continue “building a healthy and happy community, one child at a time”.

Dr. Lovette

I went on to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where I obtained my medical degree, and Children’s Medical Center, where I was well-trained as a resident in general pediatrics. I worked for several years as a physician in a practice north of Dallas before coming to Decatur to start up my own medical clinic. I have been here since April of 2005 and have been privileged and blessed to watch and help a new generation of children grow and reach wonderful potential.

Decatur and Wise County are my home and it is my joy to care for this community. In addition to medical care, I teach physician assistants and nurse practitioner students the art of pediatric medical care at my office, with the goal to encourage a new generation of health caregivers in not only the practical aspects of pediatrics, but also the emotional and personal aspects of that care. I volunteer on the board of CASA of Wise and Jack County, an organization dedicated to being the voices and advocates of abused and neglected children in the community and through the legal system. I am a member of the Child Fatality Review Team, which reviews child deaths with the aim of discovering how we as a community can decrease the chances of such tragic deaths from happening again. I am a member of the Junior Women’s Club, an organization whose main purpose is to raise funds for selected charities, supporting and giving back to the community in which we live.

I am a member of the Texas Medical Association, and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am board certified in Pediatrics through the American Board of Pediatrics. I strive daily to keep up my education in the latest pediatric practices and trends, to provide the most up-to-date care possible.

I met my future husband Trent on eHarmony in January of 2003, and we were married in 2004. We have been on many an adventure, not the least of which is the raising of our two boys, Ethan and Joshua, and catering to their wide variety of interests, including football, baseball, and lacrosse. We as a family also enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, and snowboarding when we can get to the mountains!
