How it works
Platinum Pediatrics, home to the only board-certified Pediatric Emergency Physicians and Nurses in Boerne, is dedicated to providing the community and surrounding areas with premier pre-emergency care for children, without the hefty price tag of an emergency department. Our member-based Direct Care model allows you to pay a single flat monthly rate for all your children, encouraging a proactive approach to your children's health rather than a reactive one.
We offer telephone, text, and telemedicine options as the first step for our patients when you have concerns or need routine healthcare. This ensures that you only visit our office when absolutely necessary, saving you both time and money. Staffed with exceptional professionals experienced in pediatric emergency medicine, Platinum Pediatrics is here to serve the children of Boerne.
Although we don't administer vaccinations, we can provide you with information about recommendations, safety, effectiveness, and where to get them.
