Pediatrics
Pediatrics is the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatricians are specially trained to treat diseases, behavioral problems and mental health issues as they relate to children. Pediatric care includes well check-ups, vaccinations and much more.

Clear Lake pediatric services
Our board-certified physicians, surgeons, nurses and specialists are pediatric trained and understand that children's medical and emotional needs are different from adults.
Types of pediatric care we offer
Among our staff, you will find board-certified pediatric intensivists, pediatric critical care nurses, child life specialists, dieticians, pharmacists, case managers and respiratory therapists.
We have a pediatric ER that is open 24/7, and is separate from our adult ER. The pediatric ER has both a dedicated waiting room and treatment space, where we provide immediate medical care for conditions including asthma attacks, accidents and high fevers.
Additionally, our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), the only one in Houston's Bay area, is staffed by a team of pediatric experts who provide treatment to critically ill and injured infants, children and adolescents who require focused care. And for our tiniest patients, our Level III NICU is capable of providing specialized newborn services for babies born before the 26th week of gestation.
Above all, our goal is to provide advanced, compassionate care and support services across various pediatric specialties, including:
- Cardiology
- Emergency care
- Endocrinology
- Gastroenterology
- Genetics
- Infectious diseases
- Neonatology
- Nephrology
- Neurology and neurosurgery
- Pulmonology
- Ophthalmology
- Orthopedics
- Otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat)
- Surgery and anesthesiology
- Urology
We also offer child life services that provide a supportive environment where children can gain a better understanding of the hospital, surgery and medical treatments.
Call-a-nurse help line
Our call-a-nurse help line is available to help when you can’t reach your child’s healthcare provider, or if you aren’t sure where to go to get treatment. Our registered nurses offer support and consultation, but they do not diagnose medical conditions or recommend specific treatments.
You can call the nurse help line directly at (281) 672-5437. Nurses are available seven days a week from 5:00pm to 8:00am, including major holidays.
If your child is experiencing an emergency, call 911 immediately.
