Dr. Melissa Asgaonkar
MD, FAAP, IBCLC
Dr. Melissa Asgaonkar (“Dr. A”) is a friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated pediatrician who believes in personalized and consistent care that is easy, fast and convenient for patients and their families. “What we offer isn’t just personalized or quality pediatric care; it’s confidence that when your child isn’t feeling well or is injured, you can easily reach me. Through the relationship we have built, I know your child and their history.”
Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, Dr. A graduated from Wayne State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She went on to receive her medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine. After completing her pediatric residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Dr. A practiced in Louisville, Kentucky and South Bend, Indiana before relocating her family to North Texas in 2010.
Dr. A is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and recently completed her certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She is excited to offer specialized services to new moms.
Outside of medicine, Dr. A loves spending time with her husband, two children and the family dogs. She enjoys traveling, watching football, going to the movies, sewing and everything Disney.
Your child’s healthcare is our specialty.
Pediatricians specialize in the care of children and adolescents from birth through college. We also provide parents with support and advice with issues such as growth and development, safety and prevention, nutrition, and emotional wellness to foster a lifetime of good health.
Well Child Visits
Well child visits are a vital part of your child’s health care, and they typically follow this schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
During a check-up, we evaluate growth, development, vision, speech and hearing. These visits also provide an opportunity to discuss child safety, nutrition, accident prevention and anticipated changes in behavior and development. During some visits your child will receive immunizations and screening tests of blood and urine.
We encourage parents to keep a list of questions they may have and bring the list to the visit. Please contact the office in advance to schedule an appointment on the date and time that best fits your needs.
Same-Day Sick Visits
We understand that children can become ill quickly and unexpectedly, which is why we reserve a portion of our daily schedule for sick children. When at all possible, we try to schedule same-day sick appointments.
We do require an appointment for your child to be seen. To schedule a sick visit, please contact us early in the day. This will help us to see your child during office hours and before pharmacies close. If you would like us to see more than one child, you must schedule both of them when you make your appointment.
Pediatric Services
- We understand there is more to your child’s healthcare than sick visits. In addition to caring for your children when they are sick, our providers have expertise in:
- Wellness Care & Immunizations
- Newborn Care
- Chronic Condition ManagementSuch as ADHD, ASD, asthma, and allergies
- Adolescent Medicine
- School, Camp, Sports & Travel Physicals
Your Hometown Pediatrician
As a small, private practice envisioned by local pediatrician and fellow mom, Dr. Asgaonkar (“Dr. A”), we set out to strengthen the relationship between families and their pediatrician.
Arbor Pediatrics is locally owned, locally operated, and locally loved in the Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Trophy Club and Keller communities.
