Meet Dr. Jason V. Terk
For the last 20 years, I have had the chance to take care of newborns, infants, toddlers and school-aged kids and watch them grow up to be healthy young adults. Along the way, I have also had the opportunity to step out into the public space and advocate for children in the media and in Austin and Washington, DC. Raising my voice with others in the cause of children's health has added a special dimension to my pediatric practice!
My motivation for public service comes from attending Jesuit in Dallas where I completed 100 hours of community service at Parkland Hospital; I knew I wanted to become a physician after this experience. After completing my undergraduate degree at Hendrix College, I attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. It was here that I realized I had a special connection with kids. From there, I went on to do my residency in Pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
My specific interests include public health advocacy generally and vaccines specifically. I work with organizations like the Texas Pediatric Society, Texas Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics to pass legislation that benefits our children and their health.
I am married to Rose and have two boys who are in college and high school and I am a passionate band dad!

From the front office staff Ms Susan Ms Debi and the many other ladies who have answered every phone call and helped me schedule every single appointment, to our Nurse Kathi and then obviously Dr Terk, I'm so thankful for the whole office. I could never imagine going anywhere else bc I simply know I'm at the absolute best!

Dr. Terk took his time to listen to my child and give recommendations to help him. He also was very attentive to my and my husband's concerns. This was our first visit but felt very comfortable and welcome in this office. Also, felt like Dr. Terk's recommendations put us in the right track to getting the help we need not only for my son but our family as a whole.Kimberly Shepherd was very supportive and helpful. I feel she went above and beyond to make me as a mom feel like I was on the right path to helping my family. She also gave recommendations of a better option for us to get help.I would highly recommend this clinic.

Dr. Jason Terk - my children have both gone to him since their first pediatrician visits as infants. We've been going to him for 22 1/2 years and yesterday was our last visit. He has gotten both of my kids through their childhood and adolescence with a healthy outcome for both. I recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatrician. Keller is lucky to have him.
