About

At The Vine Pediatrics and Lactation, Dr. Sharifa Glass delivers concierge, house call pediatric care to Houston families. She opened the practice in 2021 as the first membership-based, house call pediatric practice of its kind in the Houston area. Local publications have voted it one of the top three pediatric practices in the Houston area since its opening.

Dr. Glass combines expertise in general pediatrics, pediatric emergency medicine, urgent care, and breastfeeding medicine under one membership. Every visit takes place where the child is: at home, school, a parent's office, or via video. The practice covers children from birth through age 18 with no copays, no after-hours fees, and no facility fees. Lactation services and mobile vaccinations are open to members and non-members alike.
