About Geshia Austin, MD

  • Dr. Austin enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. Together they like to explore the city, especially the outdoors. She also enjoys running and reading.

As a pediatrician, the best part of my job is watching children grow and reach their full potential. My philosophy of care is focused on educating my patients and their families to promote healthy emotional and physical development.

  • March 19, 2024

    Always happy with the care and service we receive from ARC.

    Dr. Austin is the best!

  • March 8, 2024

    I am so thankful that Dr. Austin was generous with her time to talk through a difficult situation. I am grateful that she has been our pediatrician for the last 9 years. She goes above and beyond and frankly, I wish I could build the same relationship with adult PCPs- but it’s either impossible to book or I find a doctor I relate well to but they only work after hours.
