Meet Dr. David Goff
For David Goff, M.D., one of the most important things a pediatrician can do is to treat the whole child. To him, that means taking the time to truly listen to and answer the questions that parents and patients ask. Developing a strong bond of communication can have a positive effect on the health of a child and the child's family.
Dr. Goff graduated in 1993 from Bowman-Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University. He completed his internship and residency at Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in 1996. Dr. Goff also served as neonatology chief resident at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston in 1996 and was chief resident at Texas Children's Hospital and Ben Taub Hospital in 1997. Dr. Goff is board certified in pediatrics.
As a Cook Children's pediatrician, Dr. Goff enjoys helping kids grow up as healthy and developmentally strong as possible. He's very passionate about reading and encourages the kids he sees to read and believes reading is one of the best tools for brain and cognition development.
In addition to his pediatric practice, Dr. Goff also serves as an assistant professor of pediatrics at the TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine in Fort Worth.
His favorite things to do in his free time are spending time with his wife and children, as well as reading, running and boating. Dr. Goff is also active in his church.
Dr. Goff is knowledgeable, doesn't disregard any of my questions or concerns, and speaks to me in a respectful manner while explaining answers to any of my questions. His explanations are understandable and I always leave feeling empowered. His office staff and nurses are precious and I feel like they love my child and take a personal interest in my family. Can't imagine my children being anywhere else! – Patient family

We had an outstanding experience with Dr. David Goff at Cook Children's Hospital. He recently treated our child for [...], and we couldn't be more grateful for the care we received. From the moment he walked into the room, Dr. Goff was calm, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring - not just for our child, but for us as parents too.
-
May 05, 2025
The front desk staff is ALWAYS friendly even when they are very busy. That is incredibly appreciated. This was our first time seeing someone other than Dr. [...] and I was very impressed with Dr. Goff as well. I went home and the first thing I told my husband was that if Dr. [...] is ever unavailable we do t have to worry because we can ask for Dr. Goff.

May 05, 2025
This visit was my first time interacting with any doctor at this practice other than Dr. [...] (who we all love) and Dr. Goff made a great first impression! The same elements of care and demeanor we recognized in Dr. [...] I also recognized in Dr. Goff. When selecting a care provider for myself or my child I look for calm confidence, kindness, understanding, and the ability to be blunt without coming off as short or rough around the edges. All of these qualities coexisting tells me that the person in front of me is very good at what they do and they still have a passion for it. My son and I only saw Dr. Goff for less than 10 minutes (his ears were 10% fine) but it took less than that for me to feel confident in the level of care my son was receiving!
