Texas Children's Pediatrics Gulfton is a community-based collaborative health and wellness project that provides an accessible medical home to children and families. We provide ongoing community and organizational support for family-focused health services that address the broad social, health, educational and spiritual needs of children.

The pediatricians in our practice are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and are specially trained to care for the unique health care needs of pediatric patients.

We prefer to see patients on an appointment basis but we do accept walk-ins. Texas Children's Pediatrics Gulfton has admitting privileges at Texas Children's Hospital.

Payment for medical services can be made by cash, personal check or credit card and is due at the time of service. It is the parent or guardian's responsibility to pay any deductible, co-pay or co-insurance required by the insurance provider. As a courtesy, our office will file claims with any of our TCPA contracted insurance plans. Please bring your insurance card to every visit.

If you do not have health insurance or Medicaid, we will ask that you complete a TCPA Fee Schedule Discount Request Form and provide proof of income to determine your discount.  

For more information about TCPA billing and payment practices, please view our financial policy.

Prescription Information

Written or electronic prescriptions will be given after a patient has been seen by a physician or nurse practitioner.
