Meet Dr. Michelle L. Marcincuk

How do lady bugs, dinosaurs, and dump trucks play a part in a physical exam? And, what do fist bumps, stickers, and lollipops have in common? Let's find out...

I have been in practice in Fort Worth since 2003. I spent the first eleven years practicing the whole spectrum of otolaryngology, including both adult and pediatric ENT. My work included all aspects of the specialty, including airway disorders, sinus disease and rhinology, head and neck cancer, salivary gland disorders, thyroid and parathyroid disorders and neoplasms, ear disease and hearing loss, facial trauma, and sleep apnea. I was also an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology and spent many years helping to train residents in this field. This time gave me an unusually wide range of experiences and allowed me to develop my skills as a clinician and surgeon.

While my practice was very busy and rewarding, over the years I found that I had the most fun treating children, and therefore decided to restrict my practice exclusively to pediatric ENT in 2014. As a mother of two adopted children from Guatemala, I have a deep love of children. I appreciate that they come in all shapes and sizes, and all different personalities. Whether they are goofy or scared, timid or chatty, I always try to identify with them on their level and tailor my approach to each child's individual needs to make them feel at ease during their visits. Thus, we often find lady bugs, dinosaurs, and dump trucks in the ears of our little patients. And I never underestimate the power of a fist bump, a lollipop, or stickers to make friends with even my most reluctant patients. I have found that my diverse experience in general ENT has been very important in helping me treat even the most unusual problems we see in our patients, who come from far and wide for care at Cook Children's.

Outside of the hospital, I can be found all over Fort Worth and beyond. I spend my free time with my children and husband. I enjoy running, traveling, reading, and going on nature walks with my kids and my pound puppies to discover the world.

I am so thankful for Dr. Marcincuk and her team. I arrived early for my son's appointment and they were able to work me in so I could dash off to work. This team has always provided 5 star care for my son. Dr. Marcincuk brings sunshine to the room and calms even the most testing toddler. We love our ENT family! – Patient family

Everything was fine

Everyone from the moment I talked to the receptionist was so nice and helpful. The valet, checking in, registers and the nurse and of course Dr. Marcincuk was absolutely amazing. We are coming from Amarillo and getting second opinion and everything has been a breeze

The doctor spent a lot of time with us and explained everything very well. She really looked into his chart to find answers to her own questions and posed questions that she needed to research.

I absolutely how much the nurse and care team made us feel. I feel so blessed that they were able to help him through his anxiety. How careful they were with my son. Explaining everything to us. The care overall was above and beyond.
August 30, 2024

Our overall experience here especially my child's Dr. She's truly a dream come true.
August 30, 2024

Our overall experience here is one of the BEST experiences we've had thus far when it comes to my baby's health care. We're never waiting long when we get there. Our check in is so smooth and easy. It's just amazing here. My children are normally afraid when they go to the doctor because they never know what to expect but they're very comfortable here especially with their Dr. She's one of the best doctors we've had. We love her and I've most definitely been bragging to my family back home about how well my baby was taken care of every time he saw her and even when he doesn't see her. They call and check on us to make sure not only is he doing well but I'm mentally and physically ok as well. I love it.
August 30, 2024

She's one of the BEST doctors we've ever had to deal with. Not only does she love what she does, she shows so much love and concern for her pediatric patients. My children are afraid of doctors because they don't know what to expect but she warmed up to Dr. Marcincuk quickly due to the way she does and love her job. She's very hands on and great with the kids. She takes her time in explaining to the kids what she's doing and how she will do it. She lets them know and see that they can trust her. We love our doctor. We brag about her all the time.
August 30, 2024

The doctor was very attentive and got down eye to eye with my child to have a conversation with him.
July 26, 2024

From parking to leaving and all in between, such a wonderful experience!
July 26, 2024

Reception/check in was a breeze with such kind, smiling and sweet ladies. The nurse was amazing with my kiddo and made sure she was comfortable.

July 25, 2024

Dr Marcincuk is amazing! She took out our child's ear tubes with ease. She listened to her and used her interests to engage her in every aspect of the appointment. Her energy is magnetic and she loves working with kids!
