Originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, Dr. Crystal Salinas ventured to different areas in her educational pursuits, only to finally settle close to home. As a first generation college attendee, home and family are of great importance to Dr. Salinas as these have been the motivation and support along her journey.

Dr. Salinas is a graduate of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. She received her Pediatric training with UT Southwestern Medical Center Austin at Dell Children’s Hospital in 2013, after 3 years of Pediatric residency and one year as a Chief Resident.

Dr. Salinas has had the privilege of practicing as a Pediatrician in the Round Rock area since 2013, and she is now looking forward to serving the families of Pflugerville at one of Austin Health Partners’ newest clinics, Neighborly MD. Her passion to inspire young minds and growing with her patients and their families is the reason she absolutely loves what she does. 

She enjoys running, baking, traveling, and spending time with her family. She and her husband have a daughter, twin boys, and a small dog that keep them plenty busy. She is also an avid moviegoer, loves the water, and enjoys making jewelry for fun.
