Having a sick child at night or on the weekend when your trusted pediatrician’s office isn’t open can leave parents unsure where to turn for the right care.
Midlothian AfterHours is your trusted, local resource.
We are a group of local pediatricians who have come together to provide pediatric services after most offices have closed. You can be assured your child will be seen by an experienced local pediatrician, and you may even recognize our after hours providers from your local pediatrician’s office.
When your child needs care Monday through Friday from 6PM to 9PM, or Saturday and Sunday from 1PM to 7PM we are here.
No appointment is needed. We offer limited wait times, accept most major insurance providers, and will even coordinate with your primary pediatrics office after your visit to transfer notes and ensure a seamless quality of care for your child.
Offering Covid-19 Testing For Your Child, No Appointment Needed

Philip Dawson, MD, FAAP* West End Pediatrics
Why a Doctor?
think I wanted to be a doctor from about the age of ten. I liked science, and as I grew and matured became more and more interested in personal interactions, relationships, and what makes people healthy in all aspects. When I finally got to medical school, I was fascinated by how the human body works and knew I was in the right place.
Why a Pediatrician?
There was that pivotal moment in medical school when I got a hug from Juliette, a sweet three-year-old French Canadian girl recovering from pneumonia, but it is more than that. Pediatricians are fun. Kids are fun. You get to smile every day. And it's really true, kids do say the "darndest" things and it's usually hilarious.
Doing what fascinates you, doing what you're good at, laughing while you do it....doesn't get much better than that!
