About me

I am Julio Bracero, a bilingual (English+Spanish) pediatrician in Dallas, Texas. Currently, I work as a locum tenens pediatrician in the Dallas area.

I am a Puerto Rico native and always wanted to become a pediatrician! Besides my medical training, I have national-level experience in advocacy, medical education, and international health projects.

What does this mean for you? It means I know how to find the best resources available for your child, and I know how to reach out to them so they can help you. For example, if your child has a complex medical condition like ADHD, autism, or seizures, I know how to care for these conditions. I will help you find a specialist and keep in touch with you throughout the process. I am also comfortable in managing complex and/or long-term conditions like asthma, autism, speech delays, and other learning problems. I also work with families that have specific needs, such as foster children, international adoptees and/or refugees, and recent immigrants.

Lastly, my main goal is to help your family through our complicated healthcare system in the best way I can.

Here are other ways I am different from other doctors:

If you (or a sub-specialist) need your child’s medical records – I can send the documents to you via secure, HIPAA-compliant email.

If the school requires a letter for your child’s ADHD medication – I can provide all needed documents and send them to the school for you.

If you need to ask any questions after a medical visit – you can keep in touch with me via your smartphone.

Parents: to communicate with me directly, please sign up to the practice’s patient portal (just give your email address to the front desk). Once you are set up, we can communicate in a secure, HIPAA-compliant chat about anything except emergencies.

Do NOT ask for patient information via my email form. For appointments, call the office. For emergencies, call 9-11.

We are very blessed to have been referred to Dr. Bracero-Rodriguez. He is very patient and understanding, Dr. Bracero-Rodriguez spends time talking with my children before he treats them, he asks how their day was and how their grades are. He gives us a lot of information on their diagnosis and will bounce ideas back and forth with us on how to we can help them more in school and friends. If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would!!

After dealing with a doctor who gave us poor service for a few years, we found Dr. Bracero and decided to give him a try! BEST DECISION EVER!!!!He is so attentive to a parent’s concerns and so thorough to make sure we understand exactly what is happening to our kids, he is patient and adapts to each of my kids personality! The best part is that he is not hard to get in touch with and you can tell he loves his job and is not just doing it to file insurance claims!We have been seeing him for almost a year now and we are extremely happy with his services every time! Currently have a baby on the way and he will also be seen by Dr. Bracero!I highly recommend him! As far as I know all parents and kids love him!!!!!

I have 5 not 2 but 5 children. When I tell you he is the most amazing supporting Dr. We've ever had. He truly cares about the children! And he will meet every need for child want. He uses an amazing app, so if you have a scare or need emergency help he can talk to you directly. It's so helpful! He's the best. Take your children to him. He cares! The boys love him!

Dr. Bracero has been a awesome doctor to my children moreover not just a doctor to my children but a very concerned advisor toe as a parent. Dr. Bracero is very informative and goes the extra mile to give his patients and parents the best resources even outside of medicine.

I can't thank Dr. Bracero enough. Being a young mom with my first daughter is definitely harder than I thought but thanks to Dr. Bracero he has helped me with the many questions I have and has taken very good care of my daughter.

I moved here three months ago from Canada. Julio is Esther’s first doctor. Deaf-friendly! We love how to keep in Touch with Julio from the phone app. I feel that comfortable to text him more than phone call. Julio helped Esther to get better and get as well. Julio is a very nice man. I recommend you to have Julio as a doctor and you will not be regret. I’m deaf and Julio doesn’t feel like awkward to have a chat with me. He treat me like a normal.
