Bill Wallace, MD
Dr.
Wallace was born in California, but don’t hold
that against him since his family moved to the Houston area
when he was in the first grade and he has lived in Texas ever
since. He received his BA from the University
of Texas at Austin and MD from the University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston. After completing his residency at the
county hospital in Ft. Worth (John Peter Smith), he and his family
moved to Tyler in 1993 where he has practiced emergency medicine
full-time. His wife, Karen, is active in the community and they
have two teenagers, Ben and Annie. When not at work Bill enjoys
sports, home projects, adventuresome vacations, and time with
his family.
Brad Robertson, MD
Dr. Robertson was born and raised in West Texas and claims
he has adjusted to the humidity here just fine. He attended Texas
A & M and received his MD from the University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston. He also completed his residency at John
Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth and moved to Tyler in 1992
where he has practiced emergency medicine full-time. His wife,
Anne, stays busy with church and school activities and their
three children, Mary Kate, Matthew, and Maggie. Brad is an
avid golfer and outdoorsman as well as a dedicated father who
cherishes his family time.
Bill and Brad met when they started medical school in 1985.
Despite the Longhorn-Aggie rivalry, they have remained close
friends and co-workers. In 1989 emergency medicine as a specialty
was in its infancy and many older physicians spoke of John Peter
Smith (a family practice residency program) as “the only
place” for ER training due to its high volume and hands-on
experience. Thus, Dr. Robertson and Dr. Wallace are both board
certified in Family Medicine although almost all of their experience,
interest, and continuing education lies in the field of emergency
medicine. They both feel strongly about accurate diagnosis and
treatment and strive to combine the warmth of a family doctor
with the benefits of modern medicine.
