Choosing our team

As a parent, you've been waiting to meet your little bundle of joy. If your baby was born early or with medical conditions, we know you have lots of concerns.

The NEST Center team here at Cook Children's understands, and we're here to help. Led by Dr. Yvette Johnson, our team specializes in caring for children from birth to age five who may have developmental delays or disorders.

Our nurse practitioners

Our center also includes nurse practitioners and social workers to help provide support and resources if your family has needs. We also have a psychologist who provides more in depth standardized testing for your child. Clinical therapists are available to meet with families as needed, and audiology follow up takes place as needed during NEST appointments.
