I am a nurse myself, and can be picky at times for patient care but Dr. Pate has put me at ease and I feel that I 100 percent have the best pediatrician in all of Houston. I work within a large pediatric hospital, and for me to step outside the system to seek my own pedi is huge and speaks for Dr. Pate's capabilities. Dr. Pate has actively listened to all of our concerns, took account my personal health history, and truly been there for our family. She is also available at all hours for emergencies via her electronic communication service. 20/10 would recommend Dr. Pate and her office staff.

Choosing a pediatrician is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It involves the…read morecare and well being of your child(ren) and can/will have an immeasurable impact on their future health. Dr. Wolens is incredible in every aspect. He's professional, personable, caring and will truly do any and everything he can to ensure your little one is well and that you have peace of mind. He's very friendly and enjoyable to talk to and is just a good person all around. He's also an excellent doctor and that is the most crucial of all requirements in a pediatrician. Whether it's your first, second or following child, there will always be questions and concerns even when they are healthy. Even if you have a medical background you will still have concerns as a parent. Dr. Wolens will answer all questions no matter how many you have or how "over worried" the questions seem. He never acts condescending or impatient. Dr. Wolens takes time with each patient and parent and thoroughly explains check-up procedures, what to expect in milestone development, vaccinations and will go over any necessary information to keep you up-to-date and informed about well child care. Open and clear communication is a must for any type healthcare and that is what Dr. Wolens believes, too. His manner with children is very kind and he has a way of putting kids at ease and making exams go smoothly and children like him. The office is well set up with separate waiting rooms for well and "under the weather" patients. The themes are fun for children and there is always a movie playing in each waiting room as well as an array of toys and books. The exam rooms each have their own theme that children will enjoy. These also have books and toys to keep kids occupied. Everything is entered into the computer and parents can access VIP Pediatrics's website to schedule and confirm appointments, update information, access their child's medical records and find out what vaccinations are upcoming, view required lab results, history, etc. Current and updated information about VIP Pediatrics is also posted as well as upcoming events such as the annual Flu Boo in October. The staff are also professional and courteous. My interactions with them have always been positive. If Dr. Wolens is unavailable, the nurse practitioner is also very good and will take her time to answer questions and thoroughly assess your reason for visiting and take care of things. VIP Pediatrics is impressive on all levels professional and personal. Not only will you and your child be treated like a person but your child will receive excellent quality care for staying healthy and that in itself is priceless.

The real drug dealer is at this location. Called for an Annual check up. (Basically to have a physical form completed for Boy Scout of America, by Monday).

And if you do NOT wish to receive upcoming shots They will not accept you as a patient neither. Ps. No one time visit here. They motto is Stay away if you don't plan to come everyday. No thank you. Side detail note: I've been told before people are treated differently depending on the insurance ( government assistance or private). I have private insurance and still don't give you the option to opt out vaccinations for you child. Which that don't matter anyway. Everyone has the right to choose for their children.

She is very thorough and so great with my daughter. She made her feel comfortable and talked to her in a very personal and almost grown up way. She has made great recommendations to us for everything from an eye doctor to swim lessons which was great being we were relatively new to the city when we found her. Her staff is also great. It's a small practice which I appreciate having come from a larger one with 10+ pediatricians. We've been able to form a close relationship with her and her staff. Even though it's a small office, their availability and super short wait times are really great compared to say a larger practice which always seem to be completely booked and very busy. I can't say enough great things about her! I think some parents in this city prefer the larger name brand offices (Texas Children's, Memorial Hermann, etc.) being that they seemingly have all the bells and whistles (I.e., more resources, newer offices, more doctors, things like that). It all comes down to what you're looking for and what you value most.

I CAN NOT express how amazing this office made me feel. Every detail down to the receptionists was so thoughtful and personal.
