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

Dr. Terk and his staff give meaning and purpose to every visit. Even the tough ones.There Is no doubt his focus on his patient is central, & he uses a tailored family centered approach, bringing the concept If a medical home into pediatrics. And he makes it look easy while he's at it!

Dr. Jason Terk - my children have both gone to him since their first pediatrician visits as infants. We've been going to him for 22 1/2 years and yesterday was our last visit. He has gotten both of my kids through their childhood and adolescence with a healthy outcome for both. I recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatrician. Keller is lucky to have him.

We would like to especially thank Dr. Terk for careful and exact diagnosis. His recommendation to send us to the ER was potentially a literal life saver as his suspicions about appendicitis turned out to be correct. (patient) just finished his emergency surgery as I am typing this. This was a terrific demonstration of why we trust Cook Children's with out kids.

Dr. Terk is an amazing pediatrician. He does an outstanding job discussing the diagnosis and treatment plan with me, and explaining the final plan with my daughter. She wants to be a doctor just like Dr. Terk when she grows up because he's so great with her.

Dr. Terk's office runs more smoothly than any medical office I've visited. We've never had to wait more than a couple minutes in the waiting area or to see Dr Terk, yet no one has ever made us feel rushed. This is an amazing feat given how busy the office is and is much appreciated. Everyone in the office makes us feel like our children are the priority and takes the time to stop and interact with them. I wish every medical practice was this caring and efficient.
-
