We had Valencia today for our nurse and she is phenomenal at what she does. She is so kind with our baby and has a great personality!

Excellent doctors and staff. So caring and compassionate. We love Dr Kurz. highly recommended

We have been contemplating changing practices for a while now but when new needed our child to be seen and we were unable to go to our established practice, I decided this was the time to test out another option. The entire team at Wildflower Pediatrics was kind, patient with all of our questions and requests. We are medically high risk so I asked a ton of questions. Jennifer, the lovely person who answers the phone spoke with me multiple times and was so gracious. My son was cared for and they were very thorough. I have already recommended Wildflower to another friend who is looking for a new pediatrician for her child. There's something to be said for a small practice. More intimate. More hands on. You're not waiting forever or feel like a number. The fact that they pick up the phone versus having to push buttons to leave a message is amazing. I highly recommend this practice. read more

I've visited Wildflower Pediatrics twice and it was for my youngest daughter who is 1Y4M the first time we came and 1Y5M the second time. We couldn't find other places who had Moderna vaccine and had nurse or paramedics who was able to administer the shot as daughter is still little. I had my oldest (5Y) get those vaccines at a nearby HEB so that wasn't a problem. Wildflower Pediatrics' front desk staff is so willing to help, can check their schedule and your insurance right away. The environment is family friendly and I thought I was at a mini pumpkin patch the first time we visited. I felt so calm and welcomed and I'm sure the kids also sense the peacefulness here. The nurse spoke so gently and reassured my daughter it's okay. There are also toys in the exam room if your child needs to take a bit longer to recover from the shot/or other exams. I tend to go to our neighborhood pediatrician all the time because of convenience but I highly recommend visiting Wildflower Pediatrics if you are normally nervous (that's me!), or little one who tends to be stressed at visits. This place is wonderful and really, truly, feels like home. read more

See all

I'll start off by saying I'm really happy with our overall experience. HOWEVER, I'm writing this review to warn other first time moms researching options. We were 15min late for our first appointment. Leaving the house for the first time with a 3 day old baby, I was sleep deprived and still in significant pain from delivery. The receptionist was snarky to put it nicely. I'm 35 and my husband is 40 but she talked down to us like we were children. "Ohhh your appointment was at 1pm", obviously--that's why we're here at... "Ohhh you don't have insurance set up for her yet?! Maybe you should get on that", again she's 3 days old. When leaving, she gave us an innovative tip " if you pretend the appointment is at 12:50p you'll be on time!". We started with Megan as our baby girl's PCP. Turns out she's not actually a pediatrician but a nurse practitioner which they didn't mention when scheduling. Umm okay... do I get a discount on my $50 copay? I've been there probably 15x and have never actually seen a doctor. Not sure what exactly they do there... Megan was warm and very sweet with our LO, but quickly became an extreme alarmist causing me all kinds of guilt and anxiety. Babies are supposed to drop weight after birth then build it back up in the next week or so. Our girl was very sleepy so she didn't show any hunger cues and we had to wake her up every 2hr to eat. Because of this, she didn't gain the weight back as quickly. Megan then told us we needed to come in daily for weigh ins--to the tune of $50 copay a day--for a week. We switched to bottle only feeding to be able to know exactly how much she was getting. Still constantly having to wake her up and force it down, but she gained. We were then permitted to primarily breastfeed supplemented with bottles. Another week later she was gaining enough weight but slightly less than bottle only. This is when she crossed a line... She got very serious all the sudden and told me I needed to quit breastfeeding immediately because she was "burning too many calories". When I asked if she thought it would be permanent, she very flatly said yes. I burst into tears at the thought of ending our breastfeeding journey when she was only 3 weeks old. She said I could visit a lactation consultant to get an opinion, but insinuated that not only was it hopeless to try, but a selfish desire I'm prioritizing over here health and well being. "You need to think about what's best for Riley"--umm I've literally driven 30 minutes each way to bring her here 10/21 days of her life. "If you can't make enough milk supplement with formula" as she pushes yet another sample my way--umm remember the terrible reaction she had to the 1 ounce I tried to supplement with last week (projectile vomiting for 36hr) on the exact same formula??. What she failed to mention was how common all of this is. Literally 4/5 of my close mom friends all had the same weight issues with their baby girls. Non of them were instructed to quit breastfeeding for the sake of their daughter's health. With the LC Riley knocked it or off the park! She latched immediately and drank 5 while ounces when she normally only took 3-4 with the bottle. I also did great--after the 5oz, I pumped another 2.5oz. Then we both caught a cold. At 5 weeks old, we were combo feeding breast/bottle, but I did bottle only because it was easier for her while congested. Then we visited my mom for a week and it was so nice to have all the help that she got mostly bottles again. At this point, she's more used to the bottle than the breast and gets frustrated when she can't latch. That was 4 months ago. Since she's grown less and less interested in the breast and our breastfeeding journey is over. I'm just now writing this review because I had to process what happened. Needless to say, this was devastating. We were doing just fine--it can take a few weeks (or even months) for mama and baby to figure out breastfeeding. I know that from talking to other moms, but why did she never tell me that? Instead of trying to calm my nerves and reassure me my daughter was okay, she basically gaslighted me. now I'm holding back tears now thinking about it. I'm exhausted from writing this review but I need to draw attention to all the positive experiences I've had with everyone else, especially Rachel Lichtenberger, Riley's new PCP. And I really love the general vibe of their office--it feels very nostalgic, down to earth, personal--and again everyone is very friendly. Rachel is a physicians assistant vs a nurse practitioner. I don't know the specifics of the training/qualifications required for each, but Rachel seems much more experienced and knowledgeable about babies IRL. She is always positive, reassuring, and pulls from personal experience. Most importantly I leave their feeling like my daughter is going to be fine and we have the support we need. read more

We started coming to Wildflower Pediatrics after attending their newborn class. Right away, I could tell that they were understanding, kind, and knowledgeable. It wasn't until our daughter arrived that I got to understand how patient, efficient, and once again, KIND they are. My daughter has been in Daycare since she was very young, and she's had almost everything under the sun. I can make same day, even same afternoon/morning appointments with them and be seen VERY quickly. I recommend them to any and everyone! read more

We established care for our daughter at Wildflower Pediatrics and we were so grateful for Dr. Dudley and her staff. Everyone was so kind and professional and we received answers for some health concerns we have had recently. Thank you! read more

Dr. Dudley is an exceptional doctor, but three stars for our experience at Wildflower Pediatrics and here's why: 1. I have always been pro-vaccine but since the inception of the COVID vaccine, I've started researching reasoning behind vaccines, CDC guidelines, etc. My first and only discussion about vaccines with Dr. Dudley quickly turned contentious and one-sided. Later, I found that I was labeled as "vaccine hesitant" in my child's medical records. 2. We declined giving our child the flu shot and PA Rachael Lichtenberger told us 200 children die every year from the flu. We felt she was using scare tactics and our choice as parents felt questioned. 3. Our medical records were held hostage when we switched to a new pediatrician. When I called to request that our records get sent to the new doc, the receptionist asked if I wanted to settle my bill first. I said that our insurance told us we didn't owe anything and the insurance company was working on resolving the issue directly with WFP. Luckily, I had downloaded my child's medical records from the patient portal because the next time I tried to login, my access to the medical records had been cut off. When we had our first appt with the new pediatrician a few weeks later, they still hadn't received our child's medical records. This review is for all the new parents out there. Whether you are pro-vaxx or anti-vaxx or somewhere in-between, never let a medical professional bully you into a decision. YOU know your child best and what's right for your family. Dr. Dudley, I hope you take our feedback into consideration when you read this. Thank you. read more

My 2 children have been patients of Dr Dudley's for about 4 years now and we have had a wonderful experience. The nurses are great and very informed. I am very picky when it comes to healthcare professionals because I am one myself. I can assure you that Dr Dudley and her team will treat you with respect and ethical treatments. This office does a good job on checking in with new mommy's at newborn checks as well and that for me was so huge when I was battling PPD. I can say they truly love and care for my children. Thank you for caring for my most precious gifts. read more

Dr. Karl Kurtz is awesome! We just changed pediatricians and love his approach. My kiddos range from 13-18 so I have teenagers and I appreciate that he talks to them with that one on one focus. Non judgmental, and has a great attitude that conquers their fears and puts them at ease. Highly recommend! read more

Arrived 20 mins early to complete paperwork. The ask you to send images and immunizations to an undeliverable email. Then was taken to the exam room and told the dr would be right in, 36 mins later no one came into the room. Upon leaving I was asked "are you sure you don't want to wait any longer". I was the only person in the waiting room. Not one apology of the dr is running behind, I'm sorry that no one came in, nothing. Will not be going back. read more

We are so happy we followed our pediatrics to Wildflower, we love Dr Kurz but even more so the office is warm and inviting. We even have had to make same day appointments for sick kids and they are so great to fit you in. read more

Had the most horrible experience here. I went to get my 6 year old checked for ear pain. They saw wax and decided to use the irrigation. The doctor was dr Eliza Gonzales. The nurse did a very careless job to remove wax. My little girls ears were bleeding I had to take my kid to another doctor to make sure her ears were not damaged. The doctor was shocked at what she saw. To the reviewer who was turned away for ear cleaning because of vaccination... I would say thank your stars. This place does not know how to remove wax and would damage your kids ear drum. How can you trust them with anything if they can't remove wax from ear. read more

The best pediatric team! From the front desk, the nurses, the PA's and the doctors, everyone is wonderful. I'm definitely one of those worry moms and they are always so helpful and understanding every single time I call (which is a lot). My children even enjoy going there which speaks volumes to me. I've recommended this team to numerous families and each family is so beyond thrilled with this team. Phenomenal! read more

I highly recommend this practice cause there are amazing and helpful so 5 stars for u guys yall amazing also i also go here so don't think i am just putting this out i am a kid who goes here and highly reccomeded ! read more

Wildflower Pediatrics - thumbs up - Pediatricians Near Me - Austin, Texas

My 3 children have been patients of Dr. Dudley's since birth and we just adore her! She takes time to check in with mom during the well checks especially in those early visits which is a huge plus to me. She talks to my kids when they're in for appointments which I think makes it less scary for them and her nurses and Dr. Estrada are knowledgeable, upbeat and friendly! read more

This practice will not see patients unless they are fully immunized with all the vaccinations scheduled. No exceptions.

Dr. Dudley has treated our children for over 11 years. She is a kind, brilliant human being who happens to also be a fabulous pediatrician. She spends time with each patient and LISTENS! She has the best interest of each child at heart. We are so grateful to have her in our lives and caring for our children. God bless her! read more

Refused to clean my child ear because she doesn't have vaccines. And those people calls they self doctors - so big shame.

This practice will not see patients unless they are fully immunized with all the vaccinations scheduled. No exceptions.

We absolutely love Dr. Carl Kurz! We have followed him to this practice. He's so patient with the children so they aren't anxious which puts me at ease. He's also a father so he treats them as though they are one of his own! Blessed beyond believe to have found him as their doctor! read more

We've been with Wildflower several years now and couldn't be happier. My son is a very tall, special-needs teenager, so he's not the typical patient but they still take great care of him! read more

From the moment I called to make the appointment(which they accommodated in a hurry for my child, same day), the paperwork prior to our arrival and the satisfaction of how throrough and detailed the office was for our appointment is an understatement. If you are looking for a doctor's office and doctor who will take the time to get to know you/your child, tend to thebneeds of the kid and give 10/10 service; look no further wildflower peds is the place for you. Very satisfied and will continue to bring my child to the wonderful people there at wildflower. We couldn't be more please with the care and service we received. We have found our forever pediatrician. Thank you wildflower pediatrics for making us feel like family. read more

My two children have been seeing Dr. Dudley since birth and we honestly wouldn't have it any other way! Dr. Dudley always takes the time to make sure we are fully comfortable with everything going on and also answers all of my questions, no matter how crazy they may seem! My kids are now 10 and 6 and feel fully comfortable each time we have to go to the office. We recently saw Dr. Estrada, the newest addition to Wildflower, and know exactly why she was brought in to the family. She is just as warm and caring as Dr. Dudley! I'm so thankful I have these wonderful people looking after the health and safety of my children! read more

Dr. Dudley has been our almost 2 year old's doctor since she was a newborn at the hospital and we couldn't be happier! The office itself feels very welcoming and is always decorated nicely in a way that appeals to both adults and children alike. The front desk receptionist is very kind and always helpful on the phone and all of the hardworking nurses there are great with our daughter and have the knowledge and experience that makes communicating our questions and concerns with them a breeze. When we have come in for emergency visits we sometimes see Dr. Estrada who is as amazing with children as she is knowledgeable about her field. Dr. Dudley herself is a one of a kind doctor who is patient with a mom like me who always has a million questions and remains thorough in her explanations and advice. Both doctors and all of the staff at this office are truly exceptional and we wouldn't take our child anywhere else! read more

Dr Dudley and staff are wonderful. They are terrific people, great with kids. They are friendly and helpful, every time I call. Dr. Dudley is very committed to children's health, I am glad that she doesn't accept patients that aren't vaccinated, it would be dangerous to the newborns that are always in the office. I am proud that she is committed to her ideals, and committed to community health. read more

Dr. Estrada and the staff at Wildflower are simply amazing. I appreciate the warmth, nurturing, and patience that they have for my 2 year old toddler that has been traumatized through previous experiences and is rebuilding trust. This mother also appreciates that she treats the whole-child and I feel like Dr. Estrada and I have a collaborative relationship where I also feel supported as a mother and not judged. read more

I have never met a more warm personable front desk receptionist as I have at wildflower pediatrics. Jennifer is wonderful. As a new patient she makes sure all of the necessary paperwork and insurance information is collected for a good first visit experience. Dr. Dudley and Dr. Estrada are genuine individuals that deeply care for their patients and the entire family. Look nowhere else for a consistently exceptional small private practice experience. read more

Dr. Dudley and Dr. Estrada are amazing! So kind and caring. We love this office and have been patients of Dr. Dudley's for a long time. Wouldn't take my three kids any where else! read more

Dr. Dudley is an amazing doctor! She cares for her patients, knows her stuff, and is wonderfully down to earth. Our family has been going to her for 11 years and she has been a blessing. I highly recommend Wildflower Pediatrics! read more

I believe dr. Dudley is a good doctor. So good so the office even don't try to have a new patience in there. I couldn't even make an appointment! The receptionist lady wasn't nice and created a lot of problem with previous doctor's medical records. That never happened before. The whole conversation I felt like my call is very irritating to her. I'm very disappointed. read more
