Personal Statement
Dr. Tabarrok is a pediatric emergency medicine physician. He uses current evidence-based practice in all clinical situations that present in a pediatric emergency center, ranging from routing acute care to critical care. He has been practicing in Austin for 12 years at the Level 1 trauma center as well as lecturing at the Dell Children's Medical Center and Dell Medical School for residents, fellows and nursing staff.
From Dr. Tabarrok:
I love taking care of children in the Emergency Center. Parents are often scared, frustrated, concerned, worried and usually somewhere in between. To be an advocate for the child while helping families navigate what is often an overwhelming situation is one of the most important things we do. It is vital to me to be there for each family to the best of my ability, whether it be giving reassurance to a worried family member or being a comforting presence for a family in the worst moment of their life. At the end of the day, we are all there for the same reason which is to help the children and families that have chosen us for their medical care.
