Meet Dr. Pamela J. Sherman

For Dr. Sherman, the opportunity to help people gain or return to independence with use of their hands and upper extremities is extremely rewarding. She believes, "Orthopedics is a field focused on improved motion and function. The ability to help children specifically is a real privilege. Kids are so resilient and even the simplest improvements in kids with the greatest challenges can make dramatic differences in their lives."

Dr. Sherman came to Cook Children's to help with hand/upper extremity cases. Prior to that, she had treated both children and adults, but when presented with the opportunity to focus on just children in the multispecialty environment at Cook Children's, she says, "I couldn't pass it up. The comradery within our orthopedic department and with other departments is very special, and a rewarding part of my work day."

During her residency and early career in New York, she cared for many international patients. Today, Dr. Sherman is one of the leading physicians of the orthopedic surgery program here at Cook Children's and she has gained international recognition for her expertise in pediatric care. "It's much more difficult to make medical decisions, especially those involving surgery, for your child as opposed to yourself. My goal is to help educate and guide families in their treatment path, especially when often there is not a right answer or one direction."

For Dr. Sherman, caring for children is a privilege. She works hard to help families find the patience and understanding needed for the challenges they face when they are seeking orthopedic care.

As a mom, Dr. Sherman enjoys being with her three very busy teenagers. She serves as team mom for some of their sports teams. She also wakes early most days to run. "It's a great way to start the day, and I enjoy some runs alone but also those shared with fellow runners with whom I workout," says Dr. Sherman.

Dr. Sherman loves to travel and explore with her family and she belongs to a travel club which she says is a great opportunity to learn and share information throughout the year.

This is a great community event for us and for Fort Worth to support our patients and for our patients to feel empowered. A lot of these patients have started with us as babies. Rock climbing really is a way for them to feel empowered and for them to see that it's different but it still works.

January 11, 2023

I was a lead in a medical front office. I'd like to recognize the front desk receptionist for her smile, greeting, communication, speed and attentiveness. I would definitely want her to work for me. The first person one encounters sets the tone for a visit! She's a keeper!
November 08, 2022

We had a great visit and enjoyed our visit with everybody. Everyone was nice and greeted well.

Everyone
November 01, 2022

Only complaint was that we had to wait 5 months for an appointment to be available. The staff were helpful, professional and friendly. We appreciated the time Dr Sherman took to explain different options and her recommendations, as well as to answer questions. (Due to renovations, we had to park in the parking garage - more signage in the garage to tell you where to go would be helpful - signs once you got outside were great!)
