Best Pediatrician Memorial City

About Us

Find the best pediatrician in Houston's Memorial City area for your child's healthcare needs at Great Kids Pediatrics. Since 1977, Great Kids Pediatrics has been caring for Houston families, and our goal has never changed: helping children grow up happy and healthy.


As a private practice in the Memorial area, we've created an office where kids feel at home the moment they arrive, from our colorful waiting rooms and bubbling aquarium to walls brightened by our young patients' own artwork. Just as important, our experienced pediatricians and professional staff take time to know each child and family, building relationships that often last from the newborn days all the way into early adulthood.


We believe every child deserves care that's tailored to them. That's why we put a strong focus on prevention and bring warmth and compassion to every visit. Whether you're coming in for a well check, a sick visit, immunizations, a sports physical, or simply some parenting guidance, we're here to support your family at every stage.


At Great Kids Pediatrics, we like to say it takes great kids, great parents, great staff, and great docs. When you join our practice, you're gaining a trusted partner in your child's health, growth, and happiness.

Medical Library

Parenting questions don't always come up during office hours. Our online Medical Library offers reliable information on topics from newborn care and nutrition to safety, immunizations, and medicine dosages. You'll also find resources on behavior, mental health, sports, special needs, and the teen years, plus guidance for emergencies. It's one more way we support your family between visits.

Other Pediatric Services

Some families need support beyond checkups and sick visits. We offer additional services including ADHD evaluations and ongoing treatment, and we work with community mental health providers to address concerns like anxiety, depression, and school struggles. We also provide chronic care management for children with disabilities or ongoing illnesses, breastfeeding support for new parents, and specialist referrals with coordinated care. Whatever your family is facing, we're here to help.

Are We a Good Fit?

The best care happens when parents and providers share the same values and medical philosophy. We follow the CDC and AAP vaccine schedule, prescribe antibiotics only when they're truly needed, and serve as your child's medical home. We also use our patient portal and automated reminders to keep things running smoothly, and a nurse is on call 24/7. If this sounds like the right partnership, we'd love to welcome your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I schedule a well child visit for my child?

    Well visits are most frequent in the first few years, when children grow and change quickly. Your baby's first visit takes place within the first week of life, usually a day or two after leaving the hospital. After that, we'll see your child according to our well visit schedule.
