Meet Dr. Jason Kennedy
Jason Kennedy, M.D., wanted to be a doctor for as long as he can remember. His fascination with anatomy and puzzles led him to the field of orthopedic surgery and opportunity to impact the lives of children led him to specialize in pediatric orthopedics.
Dr. Kennedy has been involved in the mission of Cook Children's to improve the health of every child for many years, from volunteering in the emergency room as a college student, training in orthopaedic residency, and ultimately joining Cook Children's Orthopedic Surgery team after pediatric specialty training at the University of Utah in 2010. As a native of Bridgeport in Wise County and former TCU Horned Frog, he has enjoyed returning home to serve the community that has shaped him.
Restoring both form and function to children with injury or disability and helping them enjoy a more active lifestyle is what Dr. Kennedy feels is the best part of his job. He has a particular interest in sports related injuries, fracture surgery, and reconstruction of lower extremity deformities/disabilities. He has special training in the growth plate sparing techniques for ACL reconstruction.
Dr. Kennedy was an Academic All-Conference student athlete at Texas Christian University while running cross country and track and field. He has continued a lifelong interest in the care of the injured athlete.
The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Program at Walsh Ranch provides the opportunity for Dr. Kennedy and the department to provide treatment of the entire athlete under one roof while Dr. Kennedy's downtown practice continues to focus on lower extremity deformity and disability. He works in a multi-disciplinary approach in the surgical and non-operative treatment of infants to adolescents. When not at work he enjoys spending time with his family, coaching and watching his children's sports, playing softball, basketball, and guitar. You might even find him out running on the Trinity Trails.
The care is always genuine and my child loves Dr. Kennedy. He is the most knowledgeable, caring and uplifting caretaker. We enjoy our encounters here and are very grateful to be a part of the Cook Children's family. – Patient family

We absolutely love Dr. Kennedy. (Patient) has been his patient for about 10 years. He looks forward to seeing him. Sometimes the wait can be long (not this time), but that is because when he is checking on a patient, he spends quality time. He is always great at explaining things and never gets frustrated with multitudes of questions.

We always receive excellent care from Cook Children's and feel lucky to live so close to such great doctors and kid/family friendly facilities. Our visit on Monday was easy and efficient. From parking in the new parking garage, getting into the Dodson Clinic, registration and check in, we never had to wait long at all and during the few minutes we waited for our appointment, my son enjoyed selecting a book from the book carts to read while we waited. Thank you very much!

Both the physician assistant (I 'm sorry but I don't remember her name) and Dr. Kennedy took excellent care of my son. They were ver kind, patient, and thorough with their exam. I understood very clearly everything that they both explained to us and appreciate the level of detail that the both provided.

Dr. Kennedy is always very kind and compassionate. The thing that sets him apart from other providers is that not only does he address the parents but he makes additional efforts to talk directly to the child he is treating and explaining everything on their level as well.
