OUR CLINIC
Neonatology Graduate Clinic

Texas Children's Neonatology Graduate Clinic provides follow-up care for high-risk newborns up to age three, including premature infants or those with complex medical problems.

Our full range of services include:

  • Prenatal counseling (counseling before your baby is born)

  • Well-child examinations (yearly checkups, immunizations, and anticipatory guidance)

  • Care for acute and chronic illnesses

  • Follow-up for hospital or emergency room visits

  • Urgent care

A social worker is here to help you with such concerns as applying for financial aid and arranging other doctor appointments. A nutritionist also is available to talk with you and your family about healthy food choices.

Our team
Providing your child with the best medical care is the ultimate goal of the physicians, nurses and staff at the Neonatology Graduate Clinic.

Some children might receive care from other doctors within the Clinical Care Center. We make every effort to plan visits to our clinic around other clinic appointments. All of our doctors can admit patients to Texas Children’s Hospital if necessary.

Our doctors are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and are on staff with the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics in the Section of Neonatology.
