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.

This visit was quicker than usual which I appreciated. Dr. Drake is not our usual doctor, but she treated me and my child with care and kindness.

Dr. Drake took all information into account, including test results from ER, notes from other treating doctors, and also asked for my daughter's input and description of symptoms as well as what I had seen. She truly cares about understanding the full picture and discussing the possible and most likely scenarios as well as what should be done to rule out possibilities. Her level of concern and attention gives us full confidence that our daughter is receiving the best care possible.

I am so thankful for Dr. Drake and her diligence with our son on Thursday. She diagnosed appendicitis almost immediately, even after urgent care ruled it out the night before. She sent us straight to the hospital and sent orders for an ultrasound and bloodwork. It was a seamless transition between the office and hospital. Her quick thinking and diligence resulted in my son getting his appendix removed and him coming home same day. I'm forever thankful for her help.

This was the best experience. We changed pediatrician and this was the first time at a doctor's office that she wasn't terrified. It normally at least 2 people just to get her vitals because she's screaming and trying to get away. It was such a good experience. She was calm, I left not feeling terrible about taking her, and the doctor actually spent more than 2 min with us. Definitely will be our new doctor and would recommend!
