Dr. W. Pierre Robert III was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. Being the namesake son and grandson of two pediatricians proved to be a real challenge. It was only after completing college, obtaining a BBA in Finance at Lamar University, and working in the banking industry in the early 1980’s that he realized his true calling was in the medical field. He graduated from UTMB Galveston medical school in 1991 and completed a three-year residency in Pediatrics there. He is board certified in Pediatrics and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He joined Grapevine Pediatric Clinic in August 1994 and has been there in private practice ever since. He has four grown children and enjoys DIY projects around the house, playing golf and scuba diving in his spare time.
