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!

Dr. Terk and his staff have always been so wonderful. They answered my initial questions through the patient portal extremely quickly; they got him in for an appointment quickly and Dr. Terk was so patient and thorough explaining my son's condition and what we can possibly expect from it. Have always been so very pleased with this office and with Cook Children's.

Dr. Terk and his team are like a well oiled machine. The process is run so efficiently yet tailored with attention to individual patient needs. We never feel rushed, or unheard. I wish every doctor ran their practice like Dr. Terk, his nurse and staff do. Dr. Terk goes above and beyond with his patients and has the best bedside manner.

We saw Dr. Jason Terk for a rash our son was experiencing. Our son's primary pediatrician did not have any openings that day. Dr. Terk went above and beyond to help our son (2 year old) feel more comfortable despite never meeting him before this appointment. He played peek a boo behind the door, sang songs, even made him laugh. We are grateful for doctors like this who make unexpected visits a little more comfortable for us as parents and more importantly our children! Thanks Dr. Terk!

Dr. Terk took his time to listen to my child and give recommendations to help him. He also was very attentive to my and my husband's concerns. This was our first visit but felt very comfortable and welcome in this office. Also, felt like Dr. Terk's recommendations put us in the right track to getting the help we need not only for my son but our family as a whole.Kimberly Shepherd was very supportive and helpful. I feel she went above and beyond to make me as a mom feel like I was on the right path to helping my family. She also gave recommendations of a better option for us to get help.I would highly recommend this clinic.
