Meet Dr. Naima Garrett
Hi! I'm Dr. Naima Garrett, a compassionate pediatrician excited to welcome new and returning families to Cook Children's Pediatrics in Lake Worth. Originally from Southern California, I earned my medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine. During medical school, I joined the U.S. Army, which led me to complete my general pediatrics residency at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu. In 2021, I moved to Texas to serve as an active-duty pediatrician at Fort Cavazos, formerly Fort Hood.
Now living in Fort Worth, I enjoy Pilates, biking, exploring local restaurants, and camping with my family. I'm passionate about providing family-centered care and building strong connections with my patients. I'm also working on strengthening my fluency in Spanish to better serve my community.
I look forward to welcoming patients and their families to Cook Children's and helping children thrive at every stage of development.

Dr. Garrett was personable, understanding, attentive, and thorough. She has great bedside manner and made my teen feel comfortable. She listened to our concerns. She explained everything and provided answers in a way that both my teen and I understood. My daughter usually does not trust people she doesn't know, is uncomfortable with doctors, and is reluctant to express her concerns with most doctors. After the appointment she told me that she likes Dr. Garrett and would like her to continue being her doctor.

I always feel comfortable and welcomed with [...]. She is very kind. Dr. Garrett was amazing! Honestly I knew she had big shoes to fill with Dr. [...], but I left very happy and impressed. I love when Doctors fully take their time! She spoke to my daughter and gave her advice, listened and addressed my concerns. She was great, I have a very good feeling going forward. She was very kind, soft spoken, and knowledgeable. My daughter gets very shy but she was comfortable with the Doctor and liked how she was being asked questions.
