Pediatrics
At HCA Houston Healthcare Clear Lake, it is our mission to provide the best possible care and experience for every child we treat.
We provide specialty pediatric treatment for infants, children and adolescents for anything from an asthma attack to a congenital heart abnormality.
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 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 a dedicated waiting room and treatment space, so your child can receive care in a comfortable, child-friendly environment specially designed for pediatric patients.
If admission to our inpatient pediatric unit is necessary, our pediatric hospitalists will work directly with your child's pediatrician to guarantee they receive thorough medical attention and the best treatment option for your child.
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
- Gastroenterology
- General surgery
- Infectious diseases
- Neonatology
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedics
- Otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat)
- Pulmonology
- 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.
