Texas Children’s Pediatrics is proud to announce Texas Children’s Pediatrics Kingsland as its newest practice.

Located at 21715 Kingsland Blvd., Suite 103, in Katy, Texas Children’s Pediatrics Kingsland is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to noon. The location is among six practices in the Texas Children’s Pediatrics Community Cares Program.

As part of its goal to build a community of healthy children, the Community Cares Program provides trusted, high-quality pediatric medical services for children who otherwise would seek care from emergency rooms or possibly go without care or treatment due to low family incomes and/or lack of health insurance. Regardless of the family’s financial situation, the program provides health care to children from birth to age 18 and offers the opportunity to develop a trusting, long-term relationship with a board certified pediatrician.

“We are thrilled to welcome Texas Children’s Pediatrics Kingsland to our system,” Texas Children’s Pediatrics President Kay Tittle said. “As Houston expands further, we look forward to continuing to care for the children in our community.”

Dr. Punita Sunder serves as the primary physician at Texas Children’s Pediatrics Kingsland. Board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, Sunder received her undergraduate degree from Rice University and earned her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine. She earned her doctorate in philosophy from The University of Texas Medical Branch and completed her residency at Baylor. Sunder is also a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Texas Medical Association and Harris County Medical Society.

Texas Children’s Pediatrics Kingsland provides care for children of all ages including well-child and illness examinations; vaccinations and immunizations; preventative health care; school and sports physicals; hearing and vision screening; assistance applying for insurance programs including Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Harris County Gold Card; social work support who can link families with needed medical and social services; and health care and nutrition education for children and families.
