Biography

Michelle Caraballo, M.D., is a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist at Children’s Health℠.

After earning her medical degree and completing her pediatric residency at UT Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Caraballo completed fellowships in pediatric pulmonology and sleep medicine at the University of Colorado Denver.

"My favorite thing about being a doctor is that, every single day, I feel like my job matters," Dr. Caraballo says. "I feel like the time I spend away from my family is well worth it because I can help other children be their healthiest and happiest selves. This is rewarding as both a physician and a mother."

Dr. Caraballo's clinical and research interests include asthma, complicated pneumonia, sleep-related breathing disorders, narcolepsy and sleep-related infant death.

Though Dr. Caraballo enjoys spending most of her free time with her husband and two sons, she also volunteers in the nursery at her church and serves in a medical clinic for a local refugee community. She's also an avid Texas Rangers fan and loves water skiing and snow skiing whenever she can.
