Meet Dr. Vuong Dao
It was while completing a rotation at Cook Children's Medical Center as a medical student that Vuong Dao, M.D., realized his passion for pediatrics. He was drawn to the children's enthusiasm and optimism. They are easy to engage with, which has inspired in him a culture of caring. Meaning, what he recommends when treating the children he sees in his practice, is the same way he would treat his own children.
"As Cook Children's pediatricians, our goal is to help parents raise kids to become happy, healthy adults."
Dr. Dao is a board certified pediatrician who has been with the Cook Children's Physician Network since 2008. He received his undergraduate degree with Cum Laude honors from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. He earned his medical degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center-TCOM and completed his pediatric residency at UAMS/Arkansas Children's Hospital.
Outside of the office, Dr. Dao is a volunteer physician at Agape Clinic in Dallas. He is married and enjoys spending time with his wife, a pediatric ophthalmologist, and three girls, twins and one who wants to be a twin. Dr. Dao enjoys taking adventures with his family and has a goal of seeing all 50 states. His interests include church activities, cycling, tennis, boating, skiing and tae kwon do.
