Meet Dr. Michael Deitchman

As early as elementary school, Michael Deitchman, M.D., knew he wanted to be a doctor. Born in Canada, Dr. Deitchman came to Texas as soon as he could.

As a pediatrician, Dr. Deitchman knows how important it is to parents to have a doctor who truly listens to their concerns, and their children's concerns, and then offers clear explanations and supportive information.

He was raised here in the Mid-Cities and is a proud graduate of L.D. Bell High School. He completed his undergraduate studies at Houston Baptist University and his medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Dr. Deitchman completed his pediatric residency at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. He is board-certified in pediatrics and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Texas Medical Association.

Dr. Deitchman is an Eagle Scout and continues to be active in Scouting. He and his wife, a neonatal intensive care nurse, love doing just about anything outside.

Dr. Deitchman is the best pediatrician I could possibly have asked for. I have a hundred percent trust in him for the mental and physical care of my children. I am very grateful that he is a member of the Cooks medical team. – Patient family

  • February 14, 2025

    Dr Deitchman is exceptional - he has an amazing rapport with my children, provides current medical information in an understandable way, and partners with parents in recommending care. We have seen him for over 10 years and have always greatly appreciated his genuine care for the kids and his experience, which we see in his recommendations and knowledge of when to advance care with testing, meds, etc or start with more lower level of care options.

  • February 12, 2025

    The nurse who came in to administer shots was SO sweet with him and explained things to me about what vaccines he was getting and what he would be getting at future appointments. Then she helped me schedule the next appointments. She was super helpful and kind.

  • February 09, 2025

    Deitchman is always amazing! Trust him and staff for any issues we bring in our boys- sickness, injuries, wellness visit or ADHD conversations. Our boys trust and feel comfortable with Deitchman. Even better- Deitchman talks to our kids and addresses their questions or concerns.
