Full-Time W-2 | In-Person (hybrid) | Austin, TX
Kiddo Psychiatry is an independent, physician-led outpatient psychiatry practice serving children, adolescents, young adults, and families.
We are building Kiddo around thoughtful patient care, physician well-being, and the belief that psychiatrists should have the flexibility and autonomy to practice good medicine. We are not a large corporate or private-equity-owned practice.
