Expert Neurologists
Serving SE Houston
Board-certified, fellowship-trained, and passionate about your care. Meet the team behind Family Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Center in Pasadena, TX.
Expert Neurological Care — Close to Home
Family Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Center was founded with a simple belief: families in SE Houston deserve access to fellowship-level neurological expertise without traveling to a major hospital system. Our physicians trained at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital — and they brought that expertise to Pasadena, TX.
We treat patients of all ages under one roof — from newborns experiencing their first seizure to adults managing Parkinson’s disease for decades. This means your family never has to search for a new neurologist as your child grows into adulthood.
We are a private practice — which means more time with your doctor, more personalized care, and a team that knows your family by name.
