Family partnership
Children are more than a chart or checklist. We listen to the people who know them best, answer questions, and agree on a clear plan together.

Praveena Tallapureddy, MD
Founder and pediatrician
Board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics
Hello, and welcome to Luma Pediatrics!
I'm Dr. Praveena Tallapureddy, a mom of two and proud Aggie. Being both a doctor and a parent shapes how I care for families.
I founded Luma Pediatrics to create a practice where parents have time to ask questions and children can build a lasting relationship with their pediatrician.
My goal is simple: listen carefully, explain the options, and make sure families leave with a clear plan.
