Meet Dr. Lisa A. Nash
My first patients growing up were my dog and cat, who tolerated procedures, were prescribed "medicines" (aka treats), and whose wounds sometimes got bandaged multiple times per day. As I grew up, much to the delight of my pets, my interests shifted towards caring for children. I worked as a wrangler at a camp for children with special needs, teaching kids with chronic medical conditions to ride horses. This allowed them the opportunity to have a normal, happy summer camp experience, and it solidified my decision to pursue a career in pediatrics.
At Texas A&M University, I earned my degrees in biochemistry and genetics while working in multiple research labs, studying the biochemistry of colon cancer and new genetic targets for the treatments of obesity and diabetes. Although the learning experiences were invaluable, I primarily discovered that I was not cut out for basic science research, sitting at a bench far from the patient interactions I so desired.
In medical school at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, my eyes were opened to the unique medical needs of underserved populations and the opportunity of medical teams to be a powerful, positive influence in the lives and health of individuals, families, and entire communities. During residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a world-renowned leader in advancements in pediatric medical care, I discovered the importance of children having continuity of care with a primary care doctor. I worked promoting improved literacy in inner city Philadelphia, establishing medical homes for children who were victims of abuse or homelessness, and teaching school-aged children about the effects of good nutrition on overall health.
After residency, I moved back home to North Texas to be closer to my family, which has now grown to include three nephews and one niece. I had the opportunity to join Cook Children'?s and work with Dr. John Dalton, my own childhood pediatrician, in 2007. I have been practicing at Cook Children’s Physician Network in Hurst for the past 12 years. My patients continue to teach me and their parents new lessons every day. Children have an incredible resiliency in the face of illness and other challenges. To see the world through their eyes is a unique and humbling experience. It reminds me to take the time to savor every moment with loved ones, to seek fun and lots of smiles, and to strive to be a better person every day.
When I am not in the office, you may find me on a mountain top, skiing with my husband, Bryan, and daughter, Virginie. Between ski seasons, I also love cheering on my hockey-playing husband at the ice rink, kayaking on the lake, jazzercising, and hiking with my four (yes, four) rescue dogs, who are all tremendously relieved that I now have a day job as a real pediatrician.

What our families say

November 21, 2024
Dr. Nash & the team are outstanding. I work in healthcare and it was so nice to see everyone with excellent hand hygiene, affect, preparedness, knowledge, & advice. From the moment we entered, to the back door exit out of concern for our son's health, I was very pleased. The front lobby could use a facelift to make it feel warmer/kid friendly, but we were only there for a moment, and I wouldn't say there was anything concerning. Loved our first experience and thankful to have scheduled with Cook Children's Hurst.

Dr. Nash is always caring and professional. We love it when we get to see her! The only negative I have is the communication when she is running behind. It would be nice to be informed that our wait time might be longer just so we know. Little bodies get wiggly and impatient. Knowing she is running behind could help put frustrations at ease :).

The wait time at this location can be long, but I've been coming here for 14 years and while we have moved to Haslet, I will not be changing doctors or locations. I know that the wait is because Dr. Nash is taking the time she needs to fully listen and address all concerns the parents and child have and I know I will get the same level of care with my concerns.
-
