Meet Dr. Devona Martin
I have wanted to be a doctor since I was a little girl and was treated for hyperthyroidism at Texas Children's Hospital. I really loved getting to pick out something from the gift shop with each visit and was in awe of my pediatric endocrinologist who seemed to know everything and made my visits fun. I had a brief time of wanting to be an astronaut after visiting The Space Center (doesn't everyone), but decided I didn't even like to fly in airplanes and so returned to my plans of being a doctor. All these years later I still can't imagine myself doing anything else!
I grew up in Livingston Texas. I was definitely a "band nerd" in high school and even became the drum major. I come from a family of cattle ranchers and love living in a small town.
I went to Baylor University for my undergraduate degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in University Scholars. During undergrad I had the privilege of participating in a medical study abroad trip to the Netherlands. We studied the history of medicine and even got to visit the first medical school in Italy. Backpacking for a month through Europe was one of the most formative experiences of my life. You haven't really lived until you've missed a train and spent the night in the snow on a bench at a train station in a country where you can't speak the language.
At a dinner after returning from our trip, our sponsoring physician predicted which field he thought each student would pursue. He predicted I would be a pediatrician. What?! I felt too scared to take care of something so fragile and precious. I thought of all the fields in medicine, pediatrics was the one I knew wasn't for me.
I got my EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification while in college and worked night and weekend shifts. I loved being an EMT! (despite having no sense of direction and not being able to read a map).
I met my husband while working at a church camp as the camp nurse and chose Texas Tech medical school since it was closest to him while he was finishing school at ACU.
I started medical school at Texas Tech University Medical School in Lubbock and we got married after my first year. As it turns out, my mentor was correct and I LOVED my pediatric rotation and chose to stay at Texas Tech for pediatric residency and served as their chief resident. I had my first two babies while in residency. This was a very busy time and looking back now I still don't know how we managed!
Upon graduating from residency, I remained at Texas Tech as faculty in the pediatric department and worked as a hospitalist, caring for hospitalized children. My family loved Lubbock, but wanted to move closer to home.
I joined the Cook Children's family in 2012 and worked as a hospitalist until July 2016 when I became a PCP (Primary Care Physician) at the Willow Park office. I absolutely love taking care of the children in our community and getting to see them grow from year to year! It has been so much fun to see them at class parties and football games.
I love my job and look forward to spending time with my patients every day. Snuggling newborn babies never gets old! My goal is to take care of my patients just like they are my own babies.
I'm also an Associate Professor with the new TCU/UNTHSC School of Medicine and teach medical students in the office from time to time.
My husband and I live in Aledo with our three kids who attend Aledo schools, our HUGE adopted Newfypoo named Silas and our bearded dragon named Noodle.

[...] and Dr.Martin are two of my favorite people. My kids love them both! My son agreed to getting a flu shot since [...] was the nurse even though he was scared. Dr. Martin is the best pediatrician ever. She is both hilarious and a genius. We are thankful to get to come to Cook Willow Park. The whole staff is truly incredible.

Dr. Devona Martin is a gem!!! She truly has a special way with kids. She makes the visits so easy for my daughter. It's a conversation and she takes the time to really get to know us. We all felt so good after leaving my daughters appt. It's hard to impress a 15 year old, but she left and said "she is a really good Dr.". Way to go Dr. Martin!!!
-

The nurses in this office are stellar. We've never had a bad experience. In the same visit my son was just getting some vaccines. He was so nervous and anxious but the nurse was so understanding and provided the right tools (buzzy and cold spray) to make him feel more comfortable and calm. He was so proud of himself after leaving the office and I was too! I know if we did not have such a good nurse and the tools to make him feel better about it this couldn't have been a successful appt. Thank you!!

Dr. Martin is so caring. You can tell she sees her job as not just a job but a calling, and I truly have cried after leaving her office because of how she eases my nerves as a worried mother. I'm a nurse myself, but tend to question vaccines, medications and processes. I just want to give my kids the very best care that they deserve But with Dr. Martin, I trust she has our best interest at heart and love getting to see her. She always respects my decisions, but makes sure I know my options and am well informed. Thank you, Dr. Martin. We love you!!!Katie is sweet, playful and gets the job done thoroughly. She enjoys what she does and we love seeing her at almost every very visit!

Doctor Martin is so wonderful. As first time parents she's put us at ease of any concerns or questions we had about our child. Shes never made us feel like we were taking too much of her time. The first appt we were in there with her for 45 or more and she was so kind and patient with us. She's so good with our child. She is confident and careful with the way she handles him. We look forward to every visit with her! I've recommended her to other moms in springtown! I couldn't have found anyone more perfect for a pediatrician!
