Traffic Advisory: UT Austin commencement events will take place May 8-10. We anticipate heavier than usual traffic volumes in and around campus during this time. Patients should plan to arrive earlier than usual to account for significant traffic delays and parking. For those using public transportation, CapMetro stop #866 is conveniently located in front of our clinic.
