Doctors and specialists for you and your children

What you get

• Find a doctor. 31 specialties a family actually gets referred to — pediatric cardiology, ENT, orthopedics, maternal-fetal medicine — searchable by ZIP, with Texas licenses checked against the state medical board's own file.
• The Texas licensing lookup. Every licensed childcare operation near you, by address or ZIP, with its inspection history and what each finding actually was — and enforcement action called out separately from a routine finding.
• Where to give birth. 2,263 hospitals carrying the federal birthing-friendly designation, with Medicare's own rating and what discharged patients reported.
• Birth classes near you. 635 childbirth educators, birth centers and hospital programs across 99 cities in five states, 613 with a phone number. Nobody keeps a register of these — no license, no federal file — so we went and found them.
• A birth plan that gets read. Tick what matters and it builds a one-page summary you can print or hand over — with what each choice means, whether it is genuinely yours to decide, and the guidance behind every clinical one. Nothing you tick is saved or sent anywhere.
• 8 childcare guides. Built on state inspection data and AAP guidance — what to look at on a tour, how to read a licensing record, what it costs, and what hiring a nanny commits you to.
• The advisor. Ask about a specific place or a specific worry and get a real answer back — a named doctor, hospital or daycare near you, not just a link to go search yourself.
• The weekly note. Timed to your child, one email a week, no account.

Three things never need an email: 14,935 free Head Start places, 19,003 clinics that must see you whatever you can pay — both searchable by ZIP — and what childcare costs in all 57 states and territories.
