Crockett joined Texas Children’s Hospital in March as a pediatric ophthalmologist and is currently leading the hospital’s new Urgent Care Eye Clinic, which opened in January and currently receives patients with urgent ophthalmological needs.

Prior to being brought on as a full member of the ophthalmology team, Crockett was a fellow at Texas Children’s Hospital. During her one-year fellowship, she studied pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus.

Crockett earned her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and, along with the fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital, completed an internship at the University of Texas at Houston.

In addition to her duties at Texas Children’s, Crockett is an assistant professor of ophthalmology at the Cullen Eye Institute and Baylor College of Medicine.

“The field of ophthalmology is fascinating,” Crockett said. “I love it and I love working with children and families.”
