About Caritas Pediatrics and Wellness

Caritas Pediatrics was created to serve families in the Greater Austin Area, providing parents more health care options for their child.  We work alongside parents to make the best health decisions for their children, and treat them as a priority as if they were our own.

Caritas is Latin for "love of one's neighbor in charity".  Compassion, respect, and understanding are the hallmarks of patient care at Caritas Pediatrics and Wellness of Austin, where each child is valued as a unique individual.

Vaccinations:  We believe that the decision to vaccinate is an individual one. Although vaccinations are not carried in the office, Dr. Roeder can discuss the risks and benefits of immunizations to allow parents to make more informed decisions. 

We believe that the course of patient care and medical treatments are decisions that rest exclusively within the individual physician-patient relationship, not external corporate equity influence. To ensure patients receive the highest quality of care, our clinic works on a cash pay  and membership basis. WE DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. This enables Dr. Roeder to exercise medical judgement in the best interest of your child's health care needs, while offering price transparency. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, or bank draft withdrawal for payments. 

At Caritas Pediatrics and Wellness of Austin, we believe in establishing a relationship with the whole family. Wellness visits are designed to assess growth, development, and nutritional needs, as well as provide anticipatory guidance. Dr. Roeder provides recommendations for optimizing health and safety for your child, ensuring the child is meeting developmental milestones. Where needed, she works with you and your child to implement a comprehensive approach for not only medical conditions, but to promote long-term health and well being. 

 It is preferred that all pediatric patients have a wellness visit to establish care, thus providing a baseline health assessment with additional wellness visits according to pediatric guidelines.  After the initial visit, Dr. Roeder provides consultations for more in depth discussions regarding health care concerns.
