About Jacob A. Childers, MD

  • Dr. Childers only sees patients for same-day illness and injury visits. Patients should always follow up with their primary care physician (PCP) or advanced practice clinician (APC).


    Dr. Childers is married to his high school sweetheart, and they have two boys. He enjoys spending time with his family, exploring Austin, road biking, snow skiing, reading non-fiction, and watching sports. He moved back to Texas after his residency, and is happy to be in the Austin area.

I chose Family Medicine because I love the challenging variety, as well as the opportunity to touch lives in multiple ways. Each day brings new challenges and personalities, and is therefore never dull or monotonous. With Urgent Care medicine, I find that I really enjoy the opportunity to help fix whatever pressing need the patient brings to me.

  • July 2, 2025

    Dr Childers very communicative explained everything. Didn’t seem like in a hurry like several providers. Genuine caring follow up email etc. couldn’t recommend more. Wish he could be my primary!

  • June 26, 2025

    Good “bedside manner”. Thank you.

  • June 11, 2025

    Both the doctor and the nurse were helpful in educating me and supporting me. The only area for improvement was that the nurse did not provide the home care supplies as promised by the doctor. Overall, the visit was efficient and highly satisfactory.
