About Heidi W. Busceme, MD, FAAP

  • After practicing in a small city in Northeast Texas, Dr. Busceme and her family relocated to Austin in January 2009. She loves every aspect of Austin including outdoor activities, festivals, and the theater. She enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, whether playing at the park, swimming, or just hanging out at home.

The greatest part of being a pediatrician is the opportunity to watch a child grow. My goal is to help parents raise their children to be happy, healthy, and productive adults. I believe in treating every child with respect, just as I would my own.

    All of our experiences have been smooth as possible with a baby getting shots. We even got called back earlier than our appointment time. We were in and out in under an hour even with having to do blood work in the lab.

    Love our doctor! She is so sweet and always makes me feel less worried about any situations with my kids.

    Dr. Busceme is above and beyond the best Doctor ever! She’s been our doctor since my children were infants and we have recommended her to do many people. I know when ever we go in that she cares for my children and I can not ask for anything better then that!!

    Better communication about when/how to schedule follow up appt I was asked multiple times if I brought vaccine records, but not asked for this in advance. I also wasn't left with any information about next steps I need to take to transfer shot records from previous doctor to ARC.
