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.
We love Dr. Martin and her staff. We have felt comfortable with the care we have received each and every time we have been in the office. I recommend Dr. Martin to friends and family any time I am given the chance. She is amazing and truly shows she cares about her patients and their well being! Dr. Martin's nurse is always very kind and polite and welcomes my son with a smile from the moment she calls him back. She eases any nervousness about being at the doctor. – Patient family

Dr. Martin's nurse and staff are always so curteous and helpful. They are always helpful with getting shot records for school.

The staff is always good at scheduling and getting out appointments done. Thanks for going above and beyond.

Excellent experience every time we go and this visit was no different. Dr. Martin spent extra time with us today trying to help us figure out what is going on so she can help (patient). She truly listens and takes input from not only the parent but from the child as well. As the children begin getting in to their teen years I feel that is important for the child to know his voice his also being heard and what he says has value.

As a mom you want to always give them the best if you can. Cook Children did that when they hired Dr Martin. My daughter started see Dr Martin in 2018 and she has been amazing. My daughter loves going to the doctor, the reason is Dr Martin. Dr Martin listens to my daughter talk and she always ask how she is doing. Dr Martin bedside manners are unlike any doctor I have seen. I work in the medical field and I have seen some doctors. I truly just wanted the company to know how amazing Dr Martin is and even with everything she has been through this year. I think she deserves to be recognized for what she does. If there is anyway I can help with her getting recognition please let me know. God Bless and Merry Christmas
