Some history
Bee Caves Pediatrics has served the Westlake and Austin communities for more than 40 years. Dr. David Ruiz and Dr. Jerry Hudson founded the practice in 1978, which at the time consisted of a small two-room office in southwest Austin. By 1982 the practice had grown considerably and was relocated to Bee Caves Road in Westlake, giving the practice its current name.
In 2006 Bee Caves Pediatrics once again relocated to its current location on South Capital Texas Highway (Loop 360) to better serve not only the Westlake community but all of Austin.

GENERATIONS OF CARE
Since our founding in 1978, we have cared for two generations of families with our first patients now bringing their own children. As we are now treating a second generation of patients, Bee Caves Pediatrics has also transitioned into a second generation of doctors, Dr. Elena Ruiz and Dr. Lydia Norton, who have taken over the reins of the founding physicians.
Dr. Elena Ruiz and Dr. Lydia Norton continually deliver improved services to their patients by incorporating modern technologies and up-to-date evidence-based medicine, while at the same time honoring the founders’ philosophies of providing the highest quality of care with empathy and
devotion to our patients and their families. This is a
philosophy shared by every physician at Bee Caves Pediatrics.
