Meet Dr. Meredith Drake
Dr. Meredith Drake was born and raised in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, graduating from Lake Highlands High School. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in zoology at the University of Oklahoma, where she met her husband Colin.
After completing medical school in Fort Worth at University of North Texas Health Science Center, Dr. Drake moved to Ohio for her pediatric residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "I love pediatrics because I get to help children become the happiest and healthiest version of themselves."
A few years after joining her group at Cook Children's Hurst, Meredith and Colin had a sweet baby girl. "She taught me that you can't learn everything from books and residency rotations. So much of the advice I give parents now is from my own experience with my daughter. She has helped me connect to families in such a wonderful new way."
Outside of medicine, Dr. Drake enjoys traveling, yoga, cycling, and spending time with Colin, their daughter, and their Weimaraner, Norman.
Dr. Drake is absolutely the best pediatrician my kids have ever had. She spends quality time, and she spends ample time to ensure that all of our questions are answered. All of my son's concerns were addressed. She's absolutely amazing. She knows her stuff, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone in this area. We also would like to recommend her staff. – Patient family
