Meet Dr. Jason V. Terk

For the last 20 years, I have had the chance to take care of newborns, infants, toddlers and school-aged kids and watch them grow up to be healthy young adults. Along the way, I have also had the opportunity to step out into the public space and advocate for children in the media and in Austin and Washington, DC. Raising my voice with others in the cause of children's health has added a special dimension to my pediatric practice!

My motivation for public service comes from attending Jesuit in Dallas where I completed 100 hours of community service at Parkland Hospital; I knew I wanted to become a physician after this experience. After completing my undergraduate degree at Hendrix College, I attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. It was here that I realized I had a special connection with kids. From there, I went on to do my residency in Pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

My specific interests include public health advocacy generally and vaccines specifically. I work with organizations like the Texas Pediatric Society, Texas Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics to pass legislation that benefits our children and their health.

I am married to Rose and have two boys who are in college and high school and I am a passionate band dad!

One of the blessings of my life has been a career doing something that I truly love. Being a pediatrician means contributing in a substantial way to the health and well being of children. Nothing could be more rewarding! — Dr. Terk
