About Marjan A. Linnell, MD

  • Dr. Linnell was born in Tehran, Iran, but grew up in Austin, TX from age six on. When she’s not working, she can be found outside with her husband, toddler, and dogs. Or in the kitchen, since “I absolutely love to cook (but I’m a terrible baker!).” Dr. Linnell’s favorite outdoor spot is Zilker Park,where she spent many enjoyable hours at Barton Springs with her friends while growing up, and now loves the weekend train rides on the Zilker Zephyr with her son.

I chose a career in pediatrics because there has always been something really special to me about the hope and joy in children’s hearts. As a pediatrician, I get to see this every day, while making sure they are growing up to be healthy, happy adults. The most important part of caring for a patient is taking the knowledge I’ve gained in my training and tailoring that to the patient and their family. The best care is evidence based, individualized care that a family is comfortable with and truly understands.

    Dr. Linnell, is always amazing! My kids feel at ease with her and are not afraid of their well child check ups. She explains things to our children in a way they understand. She has no problem taking the time to answer any of my questions or concerns as a parent. She also makes sure to refer us to specialist if it is an area of concern. So sweet!

  • February 11, 2023

    Every time that I go in to see Dr. Linnell, it is amazing. I have never felt so heard and cared her. I make the 30 minute drive past two other ARCs just to see her. The front office staff is always helpful and kind. The RN/RA/etc explained everything well and did the shots quickly! I love this ARC (Plum Creek in Kyle) the very most. Thank you!
