Dr. Henry Renfert, the Clinic's original founder, moved to Austin in 1952 after
completing his residency in internal medicine at the University of Michigan. His
dream was to build a "junior-size" Mayo Clinic in the Austin area. Slowly
and judiciously he began adding partners to the practice. Until the 1980s internal
medicine and its subspecialties were the mainstay of the Clinic.
ADC was the first clinic in Austin
to have available in-house diagnostic radiology and a clinical
laboratory. We were the first to offer nuclear scanning, out-patient
stress testing, echocardiography, and 24-hour cardiac monitoring.
In addition, ADC physicians staffed the first intensive care
unit and performed the first heart catheterization in Central
Texas. Austin’s first specialty-trained invasive
cardiologist, nephrologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist and pulmonary disease specialists
were also ADC doctors.

ADC's first offices were housed in
a former SAE fraternity house.
The ADC building at 34th Street
still stands today.
ADC's Main facility at Parmer and
MoPac is home to 24 medical
specialties and over 80 doctor's offices.
ADC's facility on Highway 360 is home to outpatient surgery,
business services and human resources.
