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

-
June 08, 2023
Love that Dr. Deitchman listens to our concerns and allows us to help guide his treatment plan. We were able to do a combination of medications to treat the ear infection which was GREATLY appreciated since he's not great at taking medications. So grateful it worked so we could get some sleep and help him feel better faster!
-
June 08, 2023
The nurse that attended to us was AMAZING! His fever spiked as we arrived and she helped me hold him to give him a Tylenol suppository. She also had to draw quite a bit of blood from his finger and I know he hand was cramping when it was done. She was super patient and attentive (even bringing two rounds of suckers including one to the sibling of the patient). I'm guessing we were one of the harder patients of the day but she never showed it!

As first time parents, we always know that we are learning and growing along with (Patient). They always educate us well and inform us on how to best support her and what we should be doing for her at each stage. I also appreciate how detailed the visit notes are to look back on for future reference and the handouts they provide as well. They also treat our infant with so much respect even as a little and it doesn't go unnoticed! We are so grateful we found this practice and Dr. Deitchman!

All the nurses at the nurses station are always kind to (Patient) on the way out and cheer her up after shots.

Dr Deitchman is amazing. He's been (Patient's) doctor since she was a newborn and he's worked with us through the challenges of her autism. He's gone out of his way to see that she has gotten screenings she needs with specialists in a timely manner when we needed it most, and he has a wonderful rapport with her, which is. It easy. I recommend him to everyone.
-

The staff notified us immediately that Dr. Deitchman was running behind schedule. They did everything they could to keep things moving along and obtained the urine sample, they knew they would need, immediately and then had us return to the waiting area until a room was available. Staff is always very polite, professional, and keep us informed.

Dr. Deitchman was recommended by a co-worker of mine. She said he was so good that when they move out of the metroplex they would still consider making the far drive just to keep him!
