About

At Blue Monarch Pediatrics in Lakeway, Texas, two board-certified pediatricians deliver whole-child care without the time limits that define most clinical settings. Dr. Elissa Gonzalez founded the practice with a clear goal: make quality pediatric care accessible when families actually need it. Dr. Tim Whitaker joined her, bringing more than 20 years of pediatric experience across newborn, emergency, urgent, and outpatient settings.

The practice serves patients from 3 to 5 days after birth through age 19. Appointments average 60 minutes, and members reach their physician by text, phone, email, or video at any hour. Dr. Gonzalez holds certification as a Certified Integrative Pediatrician and uses the Wheel of Health framework to blend conventional and complementary therapies. The practice specializes in complex conditions including PANS/PANDAS, ADHD, autism, autoimmune disorders, and mold toxicity. House calls, telemedicine, same-day visits, prenatal consultations, and an extensive in-office procedure menu keep most families out of urgent care and the ER. Space stays limited to preserve the quality of each relationship.
