About San Gabriel Pediatrics

The physicians at San Gabriel did not accidentally become pediatricians. We made a conscious and dedicated choice early in life to become doctors. Then we spent many years in school. After becoming a doctor, we spent three extra years becoming pediatricians.

When you visit San Gabriel Pediatrics, we want you to have as pleasant as experience as possible. Our staff at the front desk prides itself on efficient, courteous service. We strive to provide you with a positive experience.

Dr. Doris Hossalla started San Gabriel Pediatrics immdiately after finishing her residency where she was fortunate enough to be Chief Resident. In 1983, she was the first pediatrician in Georgetown, Georgetown Women's Center was the frist OBGYN, and the hospital was using all the voluntary medical talent in town to keep it running. They and others welcomed her into the medical community and into the town. You see her at San Gabriel Pediatrics with her red stethoscope.

Dr. Hossalla started San Gabriel Pediatrics and was soon joined by Ellie Herrera, a respected pediatric nurse practitioner. Dr. Gipson arrived soon after finishing her residency at the Dallas Children's Hospital where she was selected to be the Chief Resident. She has been at San Gabriel for more than a dozen years now. We are fortunate to have such talent in the Georgetown area.

All San Gabriel doctors are pediatricians, and all are board certified. Board certification is the medical professional standard for excellence, requiring repeated rigorous testing. Professional standing requires continuing medical education which a conscientious physician meets or exceeds annually. Dr. Hossalla and Dr Gipson take pride in going above and beyond their Continuing Medical Education requirements.
