Seton Family of Doctors, the clinic umbrella of Seton Healthcare Family, has expanded its ambulatory clinic services in Northwest Austin.

On May 1, Seton acquired Balcones Woods Family Medicine, said Christa Soules, director under Seton Clinical Enterprise. Seton is continuing the internal medicine and pediatric services the clinic already offered and will hire two new physicians to offer integrative medicine in the fall.

“[Integrative medicine] is not just prevention,” Soules said. “It’s traditional internal medicine with a holistic approach, including the use of supplements.”

Dr. Koren Weston and family nurse practitioners Laurelin Mullins and Charis Bearden will continue to practice at the clinic. Soules said Seton also did not remodel clinic.

“We do [an acquisition] quietly so patients don’t see any disruptions,” she said. “Most patients don’t know the difference.”

Seton’s Balcones Woods clinic will also offer extended hours in the future as well as an on-site lab this fall.
