Meet Dr. Frank McGehee
It was as a young boy that Dr. Frank McGehee decided he wanted to practice medicine. He spent his early childhood in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, moving to Little Rock where he attended high school. The move was prompted by his favorite grandmother's need for chemotherapy for cancer. Her illness and death when he was 10 began the call to practice medicine and relieve suffering.
After attending the University of Arkansas (BA) and Emory University (MD), Dr. McGehee completed a residency in pediatrics at Children's Medical Center Dallas.
Dr. McGehee began practicing pediatrics in Denton, Texas, in 1980. In 1993, he moved to Fort Worth where he joined Cook Children's, first as a hospitalist, then a primary care pediatrician. In 2006, Dr. McGehee took over the practice of Dr. John Richardson, continuing a Cook Children's legacy that began more than 70 years ago.
In his role as a primary care pediatrician, he treats a wide variety of children and helps them with everything from the common cold to complex issues. He enjoys partnering with parents to help children grow and develop into adulthood. Several of his former patients are now parents of his patients.
Dr. McGehee is married and the father of six. His youngest daughter, Brigid, has Down syndrome. This experience gives Dr. McGehee a unique perspective when working with Down syndrome patients and children with other special needs.
Inspired by their daughter and recognizing the challenges that many of his patients face, Dr. McGehee and his wife Pam have founded Our Mother of Perpetual Help Educational Program, a school for children with special needs.

[...] is always so kind and helpful when you first walk in, and this visit was no different! She got us checked in with no wait time at all, and we were immediately called back to our room. [...] the nurse was absolutely fantastic. She was so good with my children who were a little anxious about the appointment, and she immediately put them at ease with her kindness and beautiful smile. Dr. McGehee is as wonderful as always, I appreciate how he helps parents "begin with the end in mind" with his sweet quote "your child is x years from infancy and x years from voting" which helps remind me - I'm raising people who I hope will be confidant, dependent, and mature humans someday :) I always know that Dr. McGehee wants what's best for our children and cares about them as a WHOLE person (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) and he is just so good at what he does. He encourages parents to continue doing the hardest job in the whole world. We love this practice. Can't imagine being anywhere else!

I didn't catch the MA's name, but she was amazing!! Friendly, funny, competent. Love it!Dr. McGehee is always phenomenal. Truly gifted and an amazing pedi. He is the role model for all other pediatricians and all of them should aspire to be half as great as he is with patients. Always 100% all in and invested in the patients (snd the parents). The front office is always on point, recognizes each patient and parent, calls them by name.
