One of the newest additions to Texas Children’s health system is Texas Children’s Specialty Care Bellaire.
The clinic at 6330 West Loop South opened April 3 and offers services in otolaryngology, orthopedics, X-ray and audiology.
“This is an exciting day for us as we have wanted to be in Bellaire for quite some time,” said Kara Abrameit, assistant director of ambulatory services at Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus. “Being here provides an opportunity to area children and their families to access health care that will make a difference in their lives.”
Six of the exam rooms at the clinic near Bissonnet Street are dedicated to otolaryngology services and the other six are for orthopedic care. There also are five rooms – two sound booths, an auditory brainstem response (ABR) room and a hearing aid fitting space – for audiology, a cast room and two radiology areas.
The radiology space can be used for patients at the specialty care location or for patients referred to the clinic for X-rays by other providers within the Texas Children’s system. Additional space in the office building where the clinic is housed is available for future expansion.
Chief Surgical Officer at Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus Dr. Allen Milewicz said the new clinic is a great example of how Texas Children’s continues to expand access to its high-level of pediatric care. “We will be able to deliver a level of convenience we weren’t able to previously provide,” Milewicz said. “It’s perfect for people living in this area and beyond.”
Staff at the clinic provide specialized clinical and diagnostic care.
“Everyone here has a passion for what they do and a desire to create a comfortable and caring atmosphere for our patients and their families,” said April Martin, manager of Texas Children’s Specialty Care Bellaire. “The new team has come together quickly with the goal of providing the highest quality of pediatric care.”
