About Joyce H. Yi, MD

  • Dr. Yi grew up in South Korea until grade school, then moved to Houston, TX. When she is not working, Dr. Yi loves spending quality time with friends and family, trying different restaurants (always on the search for the best matcha!), reading, and attempting to garden and golf. Among her favorite local spots are Juiceland and Austin’s hiking trails and parks, especially Eastwoods Park, which is where her husband proposed.

I have always loved working with children! Once I became interested in medicine, through various volunteer opportunities and while an EMT in college, I knew I wanted to be a pediatrician. I feel incredibly privileged to play an active role in my patient’s development and growth. Medicine is constantly evolving, so it is important for me to continue learning to provide evidence-based care. My passion is to empower my patients and their families through open communication, trust, and education.

OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

4.8out of 5

    Dr. Yi was absolutely amazing. She and the nurses removed a large piece of ear wax stuck in my 3 year old’s ear. Dr. Yi was confident, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. My daughter is back to her normal self and feels so much better now.

    Dr. Yi was very thorough with my son, and very personable

    I went in with as much information regarding my daughter’s illness and my daughter clearly had auditory wheezing and visually enlarged tonsils. Classic strep-redness, itchy and scratchy throat, soreness, hurt to swallow, fatigue, myalgias all that came on quickly. A low grade temp-“I still think your office needs new temp probes” And yet-the physician was leaning more towards a URI which is viral no abx other than otc meds at home. The physician was going to end the visit but I requested a strep test due to the nature of the symptoms my daughter was experiencing. I am disappointed in the visit and I wish I could rate this visit based on personification but being a “nice” physician doesn’t cure strep.

    Dr. Yi was so kind to my daughter in today's visit. She spoke directly to my teen, answered questions and made her feel very comfortable. I know this should be a given but unfortunately it is not. She was attune to when i needed to ask a question. Her energy was so light and she was just overall so pleasant.
