About Lee R. Dockray, MD, FAAP

  • Dr. Dockray grew up in El Paso, TX, and Alamogordo, New Mexico. When he’s not working, he enjoys doing his own yard work, and soon, getting back to playing the piano. He and his wife enjoy spending time with their three daughters, all of whom live in Austin, and trying to keep up with their four grandsons and one granddaughter! Dr. Dockray’s favorite Central Texas locales are the areas around Fredericksburg and Comfort, where they have close friends.

I remember wanting to be a doctor since elementary school, as I was the oldest of four children and played an important role in caring for my siblings. My job as a pediatrician is to help guide parents through the maze of raising happy, healthy, well-adjusted children who live up to their maximum potential. My approach is that children are well until proven otherwise. I identify the problems that exist so they can be treated, but I am careful not to intervene more than necessary. Like everything in life, balance is important.

OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"

4.7out of 5
  • November 2, 2024

    Loved the entire experience. Staff was very friendly. Doctor took the time to discuss all concerns and was very reassuring.

  • October 18, 2024

    He shouldn’t ignore the patient and their relatives concern. Clinics and hospitals are places which should have the best physicians who can diagnose to the best of their ability and reassure the patient and family. I had a very bad experience with ARC I will never like to consult anyone here nor will I refer anyone.My child had been having strep throat for past three four months, he had the seventh episode now. And the people who are in the clinics are not even thoroughly willing to examine him.
