“Fear of failure” isn’t a new concept among kids and teenagers. Mounting academic pressures combined with a more dominant social media culture have exacerbated this “need for perfection” over recent years.

Child Neurology Consultants of Austin's new and expanded Central Austin clinic and Pediatric Infusion Center will open on Monday, September. 21, 2020. We can’t wait to show you our "new digs"!

Congratulations are in order for Child Neurology Consultants' Dr. Dilip Karnik. He has recently been named as a SuperDoctors Legacy Member to its Hall of Fame Doctor Circle for the 15th year in a row.

Child Neurology Consultants of Austin is thrilled to celebrate our trio of SuperDoctors Rising Stars 2020 recently revealed in the July issue of Texas Monthly magazine.

For the health and safety of our patients and providers and in adherence with Texas Medical Board guidelines, all persons 10 years old or older must continue to wear a mask or face covering when visiting our clinics.

Dr. Dilip Karnik will address questions regarding COVID-19 and ADHD in our next Facebook live series on May 6 at 5 pm. We encourage you to submit questions in advance via Facebook messenger or join live!

To help support our families during this time, we are launching a series of video broadcasts to be streamed live on Facebook about various topics that impact our patient families. Dr. Jeffrey Kane, Medical Director for Child Neurology Consultants of Austin, will lead the first one on April 15 at 5 pm.

We know times are uncertain and even scary right now with the ongoing escalation of the coronavirus. As parents, let’s admit, the thought of several weeks ahead at home with no school, sports, or other structured activities can be scary too. Here are some things to help keep kids busy:

The health and safety of our patients and staff is our highest priority, and we are closely monitoring and following the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) guidance provided by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Once again, several of our board-certified pediatric neurologists (and a certain special rheumatologist) from Child Neurology Consultants of Austin were named “SuperDoctors” and “TopDoctors” from Texas Monthly and Austin Monthly respectively.
