David Nichols, MD

David Nichols, M.D., loves working with kids and parents. As a pediatrician, he feels it's very important not only to treat kids when they're ill or injured, but also to help ensure they can be at their healthy best, now and as they grow into adults. One of the ways Dr. Nichols does this is to encourage families to follow a healthy diet.

Dr. Nichols knows that going to doctor might not be a favorite thing for a lot of kids, but he's found a way to make the visit to his office one they look forward to by turning one of his hobbies into part of his care. The hobby? Making balloon animals.

Dr. Nichols grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas. After practicing in Irving for several years, he joined Cook Children's Physician Network and moved his practice to Southlake. Dr. Nichols is a board certified fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He's also the father of two boys, so he knows firsthand the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Dr. Nichols is married and has two college aged sons. One attends the University of Oklahoma and one attends the University of Minnesota. He also has a wonderful cat named Tomahawk (Tom), who is much too smart to need college. Dr. Nichols enjoys reading, sports, and poker.
