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.
