Medical Services
At Cook Children's Medical Center – Prosper, we offer a full range of services closer to home. Whether you're looking for a pediatrician or need more specialized medical care, we cover all your child's health needs.
Why choose our medical center
Our large and experienced team provides high quality, trusted care — close to home. Here's how we do it:
- Pediatric-trained doctors: Our doctors are board certified in pediatrics and love treating young patients. We provide world-class pediatric care, with high-fives and lollipops on the side.
- Seamless coordination: We know how disconnected you can feel when your health care providers aren't in sync. Within Cook Children's integrated network, our teams communicate and share information to make sure your child gets the right care at the right time.
- Leading-edge technology: At Cook Children's, we embrace technology. Look no further than our innovative Peaks Tech Zone. Our "techsperts" can help you learn to use any devices recommended for your child's treatment. They can also help you navigate our MyCookChildren's patient portal and its Prosper-specific features.
- Timely care: Cook Children's doctors provide care directly, not through layers of interns, residents and fellows. This approach saves precious time when your child needs a quick diagnosis and rapid treatment.
- Modern rooms: Our patient rooms have adjoining alcoves for parents, with a separate TV and bathroom. We've also designed the rooms so staff can empty your trash without coming inside. These small details mean a lot when you and your child are trying to rest.
- Child-friendly environment: Our complete focus is on your child. From child-friendly medical devices to indoor play areas, we've designed everything from the point of view of the children we help.
