Nadine Rose, MD

Nadine Rose, M.D., first announced to her parents that she wanted to be a pediatrician when she was in Kindergarten. She loved visiting her pediatrician and always wanted to be the one putting the bandages on and handing out the lollipops.

Her fond memories of going to the doctor as a child are the reason that Dr. Rose strives to recreate that same warm and friendly environment for her patients.

Dr. Rose grew up in Bedford, Texas, "...smack dab in the middle of DFW." It was while she was attending medical school at University of Texas Health Sciences Center San Antonio that she met her husband, Craig. They married while she was in residency at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. They stayed in Oklahoma for a short time while Dr. Rose worked in the Pediatric Emergency Department as a professor before deciding to move home to Texas to start a family.

When she's not at work, Dr. Rose can be found chasing chickens, ducks and her three children on the farm she shares with her husband (in his hometown). "I never imagined myself living on a farm ... but here we are. Turns out I love the country and Stephenville has been such a great place for raising children. Being a doctor has made me a better mom, but more than that, having children has made me a better doctor."
