Sharifa Glass, MD, IBCLC is a pediatrician, lactation consultant, media expert, and corporate consultant.  She completed her medical degree a the Drexel University College of Medicine and then returned back to her hometown Houston, TX.  There, she completed a pediatric residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.  Since finishing residency, Dr. Glass has worked in general pediatrics, pediatric emergency medicine, and pediatric urgent care medicine.  She also holds an adjunct position as a clinical assistant professor at Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine at the University of Houston and is a member of the medical school’s Admissions Committee.   A nationally recognized pediatric and lactation expert, Dr. Glass has been featured on several media outlets including WebMD, Parents, Motherly, The Bump, Romper, and more. On top all off that, she now runs The Vine Pediatrics and Lactation.

Our mission is to provide you with personalized, high-quality, compassionate medical care.  Through longer appointments, we are dedicated to improving and maintaining your child’s health and wellness through preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment. All healthcare visits take place within the comfort, privacy, and safety of your child’s home. Membership includes pediatric urgent care visits on the same day (including evenings, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays). Video visits are also available.

Dr. Glass is a wife and mother to two young children. Both children were breastfed thanks to the support of her family and the children’s pediatrician.  As a result of her breastfeeding journey, she was inspired to open The Vine Pediatrics and Lactation to support all mothers in reaching their breastfeeding goals.  Dr. Glass also desired to open a pediatric office that would provide evidence-based medical care for children in the comfort of their own homes and where caregivers could have their questions answered in a relaxed environment.  The Vine Pediatrics and Lactation is Houston’s only house call pediatric and lactation practice and was recently honored as one of the top three pediatrics practices in the Houston area.
