Call for appointment
MyCookChildren's patient portal
Before your first appointment, sign up for your MyCookChildren's account. MyCookChildren's is a free and confidential service that offers convenient online access to your child's medical records so you can spend less time managing your child's health care and more time with your child.
There are three ways to sign up:
- Call 682-303-4367.
- Visit MyCookChildren's to fill out a form requesting an account.
- Register in person at your child's next visit.
How to prepare for your visit
All new patients should make every effort to bring a disc or a hard copy of any images (X-rays, MRI or CT scans) that have been taken of the area of concern. The images will be reviewed by the clinician and possibly compared to additional X-rays taken in the office during the visit.
In addition, patients should bring any existing bracing they have, especially if adjusting or replacement is needed. This allows us to better assess the child's needs. Bracing can include, ankle foot orthosis (AFOs), knee immobilizers, ankle supports, special shoes or inserts, wrist braces, slings and prosthetic devices.
Insurance
To confirm that your insurance is covered, please review Cook Children's accepted insurance plans.
Did you know that Cook Children's also offers a health plan that may help you access the care you need? Learn more about Cook Children's Health Plan here.
Confirm and update patient information in your MyCookChildren's patient portal
If your child has an upcoming appointment that requires forms and information to be completed or updated, you can now do so before your appointment, in your MyCookChildren's portal account.
Simply login to your child's MyCookChildren's account, select 'Visits' and then the green 'eCheck-In' icon for your child's upcoming appointment. From there, you can fill out the necessary forms needed. This process from start to finish should take less than 20 minutes and will shorten your time in our office. Please note: the forms and questionnaires are specific to who your appointment is with and what is needed for that type of appointment. Even if you recently updated forms, there may be new items to complete that are specific for this appointment.
