Dr. Tim

Dr. Tim Porter is a board certified pediatrician and the Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Modern Pediatrics. He received his B.S. from the University of Iowa and his M.D. from the University of Rochester in New York, before completing residency training at Northwestern University in Chicago. He worked in private practice in Chicago for five years before pursuing his dream of co-founding his own practice, Modern Pediatrics, and moving to Austin in early 2020.

Having devoted his career to family advocacy, Dr. Tim’s mission is to deliver compassionate care to children and concierge-level service to the people who love them, all at an affordable price.

Dr. Tim also teaches a free newborn prep curriculum to new parents to ease their minds and help them through their parenting journey.

Dr. Tim lives in South Austin with his wife, Mary, and their daughter, Grace, and they are excited to welcome a baby brother in early 2026. They love Austin, their black lab, Ruth, and searching for the city’s best fried chicken sandwich. If you have any suggestions, they'd love to hear it!
