“ 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.”
Personal Summary
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.
