Meet Dr. Vanessa Charette
As far back as she can remember, Vanessa Charette, M.D., has had a love of science, and interacting with people. It was when she was part way through college she realized she could do both through medicine. Well into medical school during an OB/GYN rotation she realized her passion was with children.
Dr. Charette joined Cook Children's as a board certified pediatrician. Today, as part of the Cook Children's Magnolia pediatrics office, she feels blessed to be part a pediatric practice that has been a Cook Children's legacy for over 70 years.
Dr. Charette embraces the many components that contribute to health: nutrition, physical activity, emotional/psychological stresses and the environment. As your pediatrician she will spend time with you discussing nutrition, child development and take the time to address any concerns you have about your child's health.
Dr. Charette earned her undergraduate degree at University of California, Los Angeles, and her medical degree at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She completed her residency in pediatrics at San Diego Children's Hospital/UCSD. Dr. Charette became board certified in 2002. She has served as a board member for Cook Children's Physician Network, Cook Children's Health Plan and as the medical director of the Cook Children's Neighborhood Clinics.?
Dr. Charette is married and the mother of two active young boys.
We always have a great experience when we come see Dr. Charette and her staff. They are always welcoming and helpful. I felt like Dr. Charette really talked to me as a mom and was truly interested in my child. – Patient family

I have Two babies that are seen at this clinic by Dr. Charette. I cannot describe how happy I am with the service that I have received from the staff here. They are very professional and very caring. They are best at what they do. Dr. Charette is always available whenever I have any questions through the portal whether it's the weekend or a holiday or after hours I have always received a response within a few minutes or within the hour. I do not want to move out of Fort Worth because I do not want to change my pediatrician. We love her so much.

[...] was prompt, kind, and efficient. Dr. Charette is phenomenal. She explains in detail every topic I ask her about (vaccines, rashes, medication administration, flu shots, etc).

Our nurse was very compassionate and did not push my son to do anything he was not comfortable with. She took her time and let him have his own space to complete the vision and hearing tests. Rushing him leads to non compliance and she heard me and respected that. As always, Dr Charette is an amazing doctor who listens to parents and patients to walk us through the journey of growing children. She is always calm and attentive. You know she cares about your child and eases parents fears. We feel lucky that we are in her care.

Dr Charette is simply amazing! I feel so blessed we found her and were able to secure her as our pediatrician when my kids were babies. She never, ever treats parents like they are overreacting or shames us in any way plus she treats my KIDS with great respect, which is huge in my book. She always seems completely unflappable, always calm, cool, and collected.
