Welcome

“Small town friendliness, but with all the amenities…”

Hometown Pediatrics opened the doors of its new 11,000 square foot clinic in the heart of “downtown” The Woodlands in August of 2005. Despite an ever-increasing volume of patients, at Hometown Pediatrics our vision remains unchanged through the years.

Our Vision

To practice state of the art medical care while maintaining a warm, friendly, service-oriented environment for the entire family.

Preventive Health Policy

At Hometown Pediatrics, we are committed to providing safe, evidence-based pediatric care and creating a healthcare environment that protects the health of all children in our practice. We believe that preventive healthcare, including recommended immunizations and newborn preventive measures, plays an essential role in protecting individual children and the broader pediatric community.

 

Immunization Policy

Hometown Pediatrics follows the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), unless a child has a valid medical contraindication documented by a licensed healthcare provider.

 

Because vaccines are an important part of protecting children, including newborns and patients who may not be fully vaccinated due to age or medical conditions, we require families who establish care with our practice to follow the recommended immunization schedule.

 

Families who choose not to follow the recommended vaccine schedule, outside of medically recognized contraindications, may choose to establish care with another pediatric practice that aligns with their healthcare preferences.

 

Newborn Vitamin K Policy

Hometown Pediatrics believes that routine newborn care, including administration of vitamin K at birth, is an important evidence-based measure to prevent serious and potentially life-threatening bleeding complications in newborns.

 

Families who decline vitamin K administration at birth without a documented medical contraindication should select a pediatric practice whose preventive care approach aligns with their preferences.

 

Transfer Patients

Families transferring from another healthcare provider must provide a copy of their child’s immunization record before the first appointment. This allows our team to review preventive care needs and ensure appropriate continuity of care.

 

Our preventive health policies reflect our commitment to advocating for children and providing the safest possible environment for all patients and families.
