Texas Diabetes

Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology is thrilled to welcome Dr. Lucy Esteve to our team of board-certified endocrinologists and diabetes experts. She is now seeing patients at our South Austin location.

Dr. Esteve specializes primarily in diabetes management and cutting-edge treatment technologies, such as wearable smartwatches, for the early detection and prevention of diabetes and related complications.

She is fluent in multiple languages including French, Italian and Spanish. Her ability to communicate in several languages will be helpful in serving our diverse and multicultural population here in Central Texas.

She joined TDE most recently from her Endocrinology Research Fellowship at Duke University in Durham, NC.

Dr. Esteve attended Imperial College London in the U.K. where she obtained a BEng in Biomedical Engineering and a MSc in Immunology. She then completed her medical training at Warwick Medical School in the U.K. followed by her Internal Medicine residency training at UT Health San Antonio, TX.

She holds certifications from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in both Endocrinology and Internal Medicine.

Dr. Esteve and her family chose to settle down in Austin for its multicultural population, strong art and music scene and great food. She instantly felt like Texas Diabetes would be a great fit for her and is excited to work alongside a well-organized, strong clinical team.

Getting to Know Dr. Esteve

Why are you passionate about what you do?

Coming from a multicultural background, I feel like I can relate to patients and love creating long- term partnerships where we develop a personalized treatment plan together that works for them!

What are some fun facts you’d like to share?

I am the first physician in my family. My family is originally from Europe, but we are all now proudly American! My mother is an artist and my father an engineer, and they could not be more opposite! I am married with two children.

How do you spend your free time when not caring for patients?

Outside of clinic, I love swimming, cooking, traveling the world, and watching soccer. I am also an editor for an online knowledge sharing platform called theMednet.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Harrison!🥰 I have been a patient of Dr. Harrison‘s for about eight years. She’s an excellent doctor; very experienced, knowledgeable, bright, compassionate, attentive, and has always listened to my concerns with interest and understanding. She truly cares for her patients.💖💖💖 Today, I had a virtual appointment with Jessica, NP. She was also wonderful! In fact, she reminds me a great deal of Dr. Harrison.💖 Jessica was very patient, kind, understanding, and genuinely listened to my concerns. She is such a tremendous asset to the practice. I highly recommend both Dr. Harrison, and Jessica, NP. 💖💖

Dr. Harrison was recommended to me by my doctor and by a friend. I had a great visit with Dr. Harrison. She answered all my questions and I feel very assured that I received the information I need to make good health decisions going forward.

Office does not need stars especially the office manager whom is rude and slams phone down when hanging up. Very Unprofessional Attitude to the patients. South Austin Clinic.

The WORST doctors office. Do not go here. My partner was seen and given a prescription almost two weeks ago, the doctor has failed to authorize the prescription and when they finally authorize, they do it incorrectly so the pharmacy can’t fill the script. Good luck calling, no one ever answers the phone and they’ve turned off voicemail capabilities. If you need any sort of regular medication do NOT choose this provider your health will suffer.

I can't review the doctor because their office policies are so terrible that you are told one thing by one person and another thing by someone else. A month ago I called to schedule an appt with Dr Harrison and was told I needed a referral, but a telehealth visit would be no problem, though I would have to wait until late August. OK, no problem. I called my primary care and had to wait a while for a telehealth. Finally got the referral and waited for a call that never came. Every time you call to schedule a new patient appointment it tells you to leave a message but says don't leave multiple message or it'll take longer. Well guess what? No one ever calls back. I finally decided to try the nurse's line after waiting 4 days. They were able to get someone in scheduling on the line. Then I'm told there's no referral in their system. Really? I log on to my primary care's patient portal and sure enough there's the referral, writting 5 days prior just like I said, and a confirmation that it was sent. Now I'm told I'll have to print it to a PDF, fill out their online appointment form and attach it before they can continue scheduling. I do so and we move forward. I explain that I would like a telehealth as my wife has a serious medical condition with surgery scheduled in less than 3 weeks and I can't risk contracting anything by being in office. Plus, there's hardly ever a reason to be in person with an endocronologist, especially when no tests or labs have even been ordered. I am told it doesn't matter what my situation is, their office policy is all new patients have to be in person and if I don't like it, perhaps this isn't the practice for me and I should find someone else. I asked if I could schedule the appointment and speak with Dr. Harrison's nurse to explain what's going on and see if they would be willing to accommodate. Nope. They refused to let me speak with anyone else and refused to even listen or understand the situation. They are more concerned with office policies than patient care. That's not how I want a relationship with a doctor to be, so I will be finding someone else.

I was referred here by my IM doctor but getting an appointment was near impossible. All my records and referral were sent over for review. I received a text stating someone would call to make an appointment in 48hrs, it’s now been one week and I haven’t heard back. I’ve called the office but I get put on hold over and over or sent to a new patient line that tells you to not leave a message if you have already requested an appointment. I called and requested to speak to an office manager but I get hung up on. In one day I was hung up on over 3 times. Not sure what the trick is but it’s just not worth it if it’s this hard to get an appointment.

My experience with this provider, especially Dr. Chen, was excellent. It doesn't take her long to explain what needs to happen, what the patient needs to do, in order to take good care of themselves. She isn't pushy, either. She just tells it like it is.

Cire, the scheduler for Dr. Harrison, was very helpful. She went over my insurance and referral in an efficient and professional manner. She also did not make me feel "rushed" which I appreciate.
