Children require special care and attention to stay healthy. Little ones may not know how to tell you if they’re hurt or sick, so you need experienced pediatric care to ensure your children stay happy and healthy as they grow. John R. Porter, MD, is here to help. Dr. Porter and Dr. Laura Galloway offer professional and comprehensive pediatric healthcare in Richardson, TX.
Come to Our Office for Comprehensive Care
As children grow, they go through many different phases and changes. This development is vital to their well-being. From shortly after birth through adolescence, Dr. Porter is there to help your children develop and stay healthy.
We offer child wellness visits to evaluate the growth and development of your child. If your child needs a vaccine, we can also take care of that.
We also offer visits for the times that your child feels unwell. From simple colds or coughs to more urgent emergencies, we have the experience and training to handle it all.
If needed, we will quickly refer you to an appropriate emergency facility so that your child gets the attention they need as soon as possible.
For those problems that occur outside of our regular business hours, we offer our after-hours nurse line to active patients. We employ pediatric trained and licensed nurses who can give you advice on taking care of your child until our office is open again. They can also help you find an after-hours facility if your child’s needs can’t wait. If this is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 or go to an emergency room.
Dr. Porter and Dr. Galloway provide pediatric care from newborn through adolescence. Our emphasis has always been on providing your family with the quality and highly personalized care you deserve.
