When it comes to pediatric medicine in Texas, we don’t just set the bar; we are the bar. This very reason is why 108 of our physicians are among the names recognized on Houstonia’s list of the Top Doctors 2025 in Houston.
The peer-nominated recognition of our doctors on this prestigious list is more than an honor. It’s a reflection of the extraordinary ways our doctors are redefining what’s possible for children’s and women’s health. Click here to see the complete list.
Each of our doctors on this list is carving their own path, pushing boundaries and setting new standards in their field. Their humble brilliance, compassionate care and team-oriented mindset are the driving forces behind our proud, 17-year legacy as Texas’ number one pediatric hospital.
One of our doctors on the list, Dr. Ankhi Dutta in the Infectious Disease department, shared she wouldn’t be where she is today without the support of her team members.
“I have been at Texas Children’s for 20 years now,” Ankhi said. “And what I am is because of Texas Children’s. My mentors have taught me how to be presentable, how to be kind, how to be compassionate and show empathy, and to be a good listener (to my patients).”
Our remarkable doctors on the list also find new ways to connect with patients and their families by stepping out of their comfort zones. Doing this allow those they care for and interact with to feel secure, heard and truly understood.
Another doctor on the list, Dr. Shannon DiCarlo in the Neurology department, said she engages in karaoke to get out of her comfort zone. “I love karaoke,” Shannon said. “Doing that…getting out of your comfort zone and interacting with people in that way is really helpful to work on building that rapport with people…making sure everybody is happy and taken care of.”
