Texas City, TX
The UTMB Child Health Clinic in Texas City has cared for Gulf Coast families for more than two decades. We sit steps from the mainland side of Galveston Bay, serving families from Texas City, La Marque, Dickinson, San Leon, and the wider Galveston County area.
Our pediatricians, advanced practice providers, and pediatric nurses work as a single team — sharing charts, notes, and follow-up plans so a sick visit on Tuesday doesn't disappear by Friday. We keep same-day slots open every weekday morning for fevers, rashes, earaches, and the small emergencies that define parenthood.
We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most major commercial plans. Uninsured families are seen too — our self-pay schedule is published below, never a surprise at the desk.
Your child sees the same pediatrician for well-visits, sick visits, and chronic care — so the doctor reading the chart is the one who already knows your kid's history, allergies, and the nickname they answer to.
Reserved morning slots for fevers, rashes, and earaches. Call before 9 AM and we will see your child the same day — typically within three hours of your call.
Vaccines for children from birth through age 18, including the VFC program for eligible families.
A live pediatric nurse answers calls after closing — for the 2 AM fevers that always seem to come at 2 AM.
Test results, growth charts, immunization records, and visit notes — available on your phone the moment they're signed. Refill requests and message your provider directly.
Spanish-speaking pediatricians and nurses on staff at all times — because clear communication is clinical care, not a courtesy line on a brochure.
Bulk physicals each August for Texas City ISD, Dickinson ISD, and La Marque ISD athletes — $35 flat, no insurance paperwork required.
Tell us a little about your child and a care coordinator will call you back within one business day to confirm a time. For urgent same-day sick visits, please call the clinic directly before 9 AM — we hold morning slots open every weekday.
