About Us

Modern Pediatrics (MP) is a primary care pediatrics practice that was founded on the singular goal of creating the very best possible experience imaginable for children and their families. Following this goal as our North Star, we developed a unique care model that includes the following:

• All well-child and illness care occurs in the patient’s home
• 24/7 accessibility through virtual care (text message, phone, video visit)
• High-quality, evidence-based care, using the most up to date research available
• Thoughtful, empathic relationship building, which creates a profound depth of connection with our families
• Membership pricing which makes this service available to the broadest range of families possible, not just the wealthy
• Tech-forward approach to everything we do for our patients and families

Since our 2020 launch in Austin, we've found that families absolutely love this model of care! You can find some of our patient reviews here to get a better feel.
