About Daniel C. Bradford, MD, JD

  • Dr. Bradford grew up in Fairborn, OH, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but moved to Austin in 1999, “where generations of my family were educated to serve their community.” When he is not working, Dr. Bradford and his husband love hanging out with friends, tending to their garden, catching a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse, or planning a future hiking adventure. Being “fully a creature of Austin,” his favorite local areas are Barton Springs and the Greenbelt’s trails.

My path to medicine is unconventional, as I practiced law before pursuing it, and there are myriad reasons for my career change. But the most essential reason is that I find nothing more satisfying than helping people live happier and healthier lives, especially when those people are little humans and their parents. I ground my advice in the science of medicine and the humility of living in a complicated world.

    He spent time going over things to help her feel better and didn’t make us feel rushed.

  • December 15, 2025

    This was such an easy and helpful visit. Everyone exceeded my expectations. Dr. Bradford was very caring, and communicated well with my teen. Thank you!

  • December 11, 2025

    This was our first time seeing this particular doctor. He was excellent! I really love the way that he explained different things and gave us insight into different developmental changes. Further, the MA was so sweet with our two kids and the nurse that administered the shot made it as painless and quick as possible.Yet again we are so impressed with the staff at ARC.

    They worked me in to be seen, and could have told me to reschedule, but did their best… it made a huge impact. Doctor was patient & had an EXCELLENT bedside manner with my talkative 4 year old. Thank you for your kindness & expertise!

  • December 9, 2025

    Took the time to really made my son feel like ease. He didn’t rush to the appointment and I felt like he was thoroughly looked over and all my concerns were addressed.

  • December 6, 2025

    The doctor was very nice and able to connect with my daughter on her level. He spoke to her and asked questions which I really liked and then spoke to me for confirmation of clarity. We’ve been looking into a new pediatrician and he is one we would consider.
