Meet Bethesda Pediatrics

We are excited to introduce Bethesda Pediatrics, a program of Bethesda Health Clinic, committed to providing exceptional care for your children.

Bethesda Pediatrics was established in 2023 and was formally known as St. Paul Children’s Medical and Dental Services.

As an extension of Bethesda Health Clinic, which has been serving uninsured working adults since 2003, we are dedicated to offering outstanding healthcare services for your children.

Who We Serve

Bethesda Pediatrics is here for underserved East Texas families who either lack insurance coverage or are underinsured. We understand the challenges of high deductibles relative to income, and we’re here to bridge the gap.

Since its inception, the clinic has served more than 20,000 patients and completed more than 265,000 patient visits.

Manage your health records 24/7 which includes sending messages to your child’s doctor, viewing lab results and even immunization records.

The Bethesda Pediatrics Difference

We provide medical and dental screenings for all children enrolled in the Tyler Independent School District Head Start Program, as well as numerous other school districts in within Region 7.

We are a proud participant in the Reach Out and Read program, a national early childhood literacy program that makes early literacy a standard part of pediatric primary care. We distribute books to children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years and advise parents on the benefits of reading aloud to their little ones.

But if not, call us before making a decision!

Bethesda Pediatrics partners with CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Hospital to provide 24/7 after-hours coverage for our patients.

It’s easy! All you have to do is call us at 903-531-9455 and you will reach the well-trained staff of nurses and the rotating group of pediatricians who can help you and your child when our office is closed.

When appropriate we hope to prevent you from making an ER visit.
