Meet Dr. Teena Thomas
Teena Thomas, M.D., knew she wanted to be a doctor for kids even before she started kindergarten as she was always trying to take care of babies and toddlers, including her younger sister. After completing high school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, she went on to double major in biology & business and graduated summa cum laude from Austin College in Sherman, Texas. Dr. Thomas spent the next 11 years at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas where she completed medical school, pediatric residency and a fellowship in pediatric endocrinology.
Her passion for pediatric endocrinology was born at Camp Sweeney, a diabetic camp, where she worked during the summer and winter breaks during medical school & residency. She learned both the medical and personal aspects of managing type 1 diabetes and loved it! Through her pediatric training, she became interested in managing other endocrine conditions as well and knew that she had found her calling. Since joining Cook Children's Endocrinology and Diabetes team in 2013, she has developed a special interest in treating patients with Turner Syndrome. Dr. Thomas currently sees patients in Fort Worth, Hurst and Abilene.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, traveling, exercising, hosting events and crafting.

Courtney (phlebotomist) is EXCELLENT with our child when it comes to her fear of a blood draw. She's confident and poised and kind to our 3 yo and my daughter was so much less traumatized by Courtney drawing blood. Amy (child advocate in outpatient lab). We met Amy before our daughter's blood draw and she played with her and walked her through the blood draw before it happened. During the blood draw she was gentle and tender with the encouragement she gave my child in spite of our daughter's resistance to the blood draw. As a team, these two had my daughter smiling the second the bandaid was on. As a parent, this gives me confidence in the staff that my daughter will not be traumatized during a fearful experience such as a blood draw.

We had not been to the Dobson clinic since the summer of 2022. We love the new parking deck and the access it gives us to the Dobson clinic. On a cold day like today we appreciated that. We also loved the new layout of the Dobson clinic. The staff was extremely helpful with directions and check in and even though we were unfamiliar with the new layout we felt confident navigating the clinic with the staff's help. Thank you for caring about children as well as us parents. We can tell you have put a lot of thought into the experience of the Dobson clinic and the improvements that have been made are steps in the right direction. We were nervous going into our appointment today but we left feeling empowered and thankful.
