Meet Dr. Jose L. Iglesias

I moved to Fort Worth and began my career as a Pediatric Surgeon at Cook Children's in 2001 after completing my training at St. Jude & Le Bonheur Children's in Memphis, TN. My wife and two children have loved growing with the city and the medical center ever since. I attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern and did my residency training there also, including Parkland and Dallas Children's Hospitals. My clinical interests have included minimally invasive surgery, and I was fortunate to be able to expand the technology and procedures during my time at Cook Children's. Other clinical interests include pectus and chest wall deformities, tumors, vascular malformations, and congenital anomalies. Currently, I'm the Medical Director of Pediatric Surgery (since 2014) and previously was Associate Medical Director as well as the Chief of Surgery.

Outside of surgery, I enjoy spending time and traveling with my family. Photography, scuba diving, skiing and performance driving are among my favorite hobbies. My son and I are Master Divers who enjoy exploring new destinations while my daughter and I enjoy perfecting our photography skills with one another.

Front desk did a great job of keeping us updated on an emergency our doctor had. Even with his delay they were able to get us back quickly and we didn't feel rushed.
July 25, 2023

Have absolutely no complaints. We arrived early; and, I believe, we were on our way home before our scheduled appointment time. I'm sure I could have asked more questions and gotten more information, but was satisfied with the information we received regarding (patient's) condition.
June 27, 2023

The new Dodson clinic is beautiful. Dr. Iglesias was wonderful as was his nurse. We arrived early and didn't really wait very long. I never time this sort of thing. We never had to wait for the Dr as the prep for my son's procedure took a bit and the Dr was ready to go as soon as my son was ready. Really super happy with the appointment and the outcome
June 09, 2023

We always have a pleasant visit with Dr. Iglesias and the rest of the staff.
