🧠 Did You Know?

Your child’s immune system is incredible! 💪
Kids come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens every single day — from playgrounds, classrooms, and everywhere in between. 🛝

That’s why good hygiene habits like hand washing, covering coughs, and keeping play areas clean are so important! 🧼👐

🍂 November just gives cozy family vibes, doesn’t it? 🤎
We came across this Family November Bucket List and thought it was the sweetest reminder to slow down and enjoy the little moments.

Nothing fancy.
Just blankets, fresh air, baking together, laughing, and being present. 💛

💨 RSV Season is Here

RSV is common this time of year and can cause cold-like symptoms — but in little ones, it can sometimes lead to breathing trouble. 👶

Watch for coughing, wheezing, fast breathing, or trouble feeding, and call August Pediatrics if you’re concerned. 💛

Wash hands often, sanitize toys, and keep sick visitors at a distance to help protect your little ones this season. 🧼✨

November is all about gratitude, and we’re so thankful for our August Pediatrics families!
Every smile, hug, and high-five from our patients reminds us why we love what we do. 🥰
We’re grateful to serve Wise County and be a small part of your child’s story. 💛

Our Story...

Dr. August

We lived in Houston, Dallas, Denton, and spent some time abroad in Mexico. It was during this period of time that I became fully fluent in Spanish. I was about nine years old when I decided I wanted to be a doctor. I never wavered and did everything I could to make that dream come true.

I graduated from a magnet school in Houston, Texas-the High School for Health Professions. I then attended the University of Texas at Austin where I was Pre-Med and graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. My college sweetheart and I were married in June 1992 and soon moved to Galveston, Texas so I could begin my medical training at the University of Texas Medical School-Galveston. During my fourth year of medical school training, my husband Dan and I were blessed with the birth of our first son, Anthony. I received my medical degree in 1996 and began my pediatric residency training at the Children’s Hospital in Galveston. My second son, Patrick was born in 1998 towards the end of my pediatric residency. Needless to say, I became great at multitasking and juggling work, family, and friends. I completed my pediatric training in 1999 and moved to Temple, Texas where I practiced General Pediatrics for two years. My husband worked as a software developer. My daughter Emily was born in May 2001, and has kept us all in line (especially her Daddy) since then.

A few months later, I was recruited by Wise Regional Hospital in Decatur, Texas. My husband, children and I have made Wise County our home since August 2001. It has been my privilege to serve the medical needs of the children of Wise and surrounding counties for the last 15 years. Some of the patients I first saw as young school agers are now graduating from High School and going off to college or joining our Armed Forces. Some of my past patients have started families and are now bringing their children to our clinic. That is the biggest compliment I can receive as a pediatrician. I feel blessed to have been part of their childhood and now share in the joy of watching them fulfill their full potential within their families and in our community. My husband and I are very active at the ABVM Catholic Church in Decatur.

My husband stays busy with the Knights of Columbus (a charity organization) and faith formation classes. I am an officer in the Catholic Daughters, which is an organization of Catholic women who serve their Church, families and community through faith, unity and charitable projects. I am also a Eucharistic Minister in our Church. My faith is very important to me and has shaped the way I practice medicine. I believe that mental and spiritual health are just as important as physical health for any child or adult.

I serve on several of the Wise Health System committees, including Ethics and Credentialing, Medical Executive, and Physician Health and Wellness. I participate in these committees to ensure that patients receive the best possible care while they are at our hospital. I have been a member of the Decatur Junior Women’s Club, an organization whose main purpose is to raise funds for selected local charities, such as Spirit of Christmas, CASA, Wise County Pregnancy Resource Center, WARM, Wise Christian Counseling, etc.

My husband and I also stay very busy with our three children and all of their activities. As a family we like travelling, camping, and biking, cooking and gardening.

I am board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. I am a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, member of the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Pediatric Society, and the local medical society. I attend conferences every year to receive continuing medical education, to ensure that I can provide my patients with the most up-to-date and comprehensive pediatric care from birth through adolescence.

I look forward to meeting you and your family and continue “building a healthy and happy community, one child at a time”.

Dr. Lovette

I went on to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where I obtained my medical degree, and Children’s Medical Center, where I was well-trained as a resident in general pediatrics. I worked for several years as a physician in a practice north of Dallas before coming to Decatur to start up my own medical clinic. I have been here since April of 2005 and have been privileged and blessed to watch and help a new generation of children grow and reach wonderful potential.

Decatur and Wise County are my home and it is my joy to care for this community. In addition to medical care, I teach physician assistants and nurse practitioner students the art of pediatric medical care at my office, with the goal to encourage a new generation of health caregivers in not only the practical aspects of pediatrics, but also the emotional and personal aspects of that care. I volunteer on the board of CASA of Wise and Jack County, an organization dedicated to being the voices and advocates of abused and neglected children in the community and through the legal system. I am a member of the Child Fatality Review Team, which reviews child deaths with the aim of discovering how we as a community can decrease the chances of such tragic deaths from happening again. I am a member of the Junior Women’s Club, an organization whose main purpose is to raise funds for selected charities, supporting and giving back to the community in which we live.

I am a member of the Texas Medical Association, and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am board certified in Pediatrics through the American Board of Pediatrics. I strive daily to keep up my education in the latest pediatric practices and trends, to provide the most up-to-date care possible.

I met my future husband Trent on eHarmony in January of 2003, and we were married in 2004. We have been on many an adventure, not the least of which is the raising of our two boys, Ethan and Joshua, and catering to their wide variety of interests, including football, baseball, and lacrosse. We as a family also enjoy hiking, camping, skiing, and snowboarding when we can get to the mountains!
