When it comes to caring for kids, Lizy Varughese, M.D. knows that being a pediatrician is more than medical care, it's about listening to parents and patients, talking to them about care and prevention, and helping them to feel comfortable about the decisions they make.
Being the mother of two has certainly taught her that pediatrics is not "all textbook" and flexibility to various cultures, habits and preferences are so important in creating an effective parent-doctor partnership.
One of her passions is meeting with new parents and walking with them through such a life changing event in their lives. She enjoys teaching the Newborn Basics Class and Infant CPR to help parents navigate those important first few months. She also volunteers as an educator for expectant parents at the Mid Cities Pregnancy Center.
Another one of her passions is food...and discussing healthy eating habits early in life with parents and kids. She will often share recipe ideas and tricks to getting toddlers up to teenagers to incorporate healthy foods into their diet. She treats many pediatric illnesses but emphasizes wellness care, allergy/asthma, obesity and ADHD.
Dr. Varughese grew up in Dallas, Texas. She received her B.S in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University and M.D from the University of Texas in Houston. She then went on to complete a residency program in Long Island, New York and was appointed as clinical professor of pediatrics at Stony Brook University Hospital teaching and supervising medical students and residents. After that, she was in private practice in Northern New Jersey working part time while raising her two small children. She moved back to her hometown of Dallas, TX in 2013 and joined Cook Children's Physician Network in Lewisville.
She is married to Dr. Shane Varughese and has two children, Noah and Sarah, who are the joy of her life. In her spare time, Dr. Varughese enjoys photography, yoga, and cooking. She is an active member of Countryside Bible Church and serves in their Sunday School program.?
Dr. Varughese is amazing with my child, always very sweet and nice. My daughter likes her a lot and enjoys coming to see her, she especially loves the princess stickers. We are very happy to have her as our pediatrician and we always feel very appreciated at her practice because everyone in her staff is very nice. – Mother of patient

Dr. Varughese is an excellent physician! My 13year old son has seen her since birth! She is trustworthy, sincere, and we will keep seeing her until he turns 18 and moves on to adult medicine. Thank you Doc for taking excellent care of us!

We always receive great care and detail from Dr. Varughese, we also love how attentive and friendly the Hispanic nurse we get every time we go for a visit. She even helps ease our daughter by speaking in Spanish to her.

Dr. Lizy Varughese has been our children's pediatrician for about 7 years and she is outstanding! We have moved and live further away from her office, but I refuse to go elsewhere b/c her bedside manner for my children is the best I have ever seen. She is certainly above the rest.

Dr Varughese and her staff! I can't say enough good things about them. They are absolutely the best and wonderful.

My daughter was sick and they got me in literally last minute end of the day. I apologized when I walked in for how late and last minute my appointment was and the girl at the front desk told me not to worry and let's get her seen. That put my at such ease knowing I wasn't an inconvenience. The nurse who took care of us prior to seeing the doctor was the sweetest! So kind and gentle with my daughter making sure she was comfortable. My daughter ended up having RSV and ear Infection and Dr Varughese was exceptional. Her and her staffs level of care and attention Is unmatched. I drive 45 mins to this office even though there's another cooks 10 mins from my house because of how well they treat patients.
