Meet Dr. Sandra C. Peak
While other little girls hosted tea parties, a young Sandra Peak, M.D, opened a "clinic" and forced her brother to either be a nurse or the parent bringing in dolls to be bandaged. So it's certainly no surprise that she grew up become a pediatrician and care for kids.
"I chose pediatrics because, at least for me, it was the one place in medicine where I felt I could truly change a person's life—and I could do that simply by educating their parents," Dr. Peak said. "Plus, kids are truly amazing! They have a natural empathy that I identify with. The best parts of my job are the hugs, high fives, giggles and eye rolls ... plus an unlimited supply of lollipops.
Wait, eye rolls? Yes. Dr. Peak has the kind of humor that inspires good-natured eye rolls from her family. In spite of their eye rolls, she adores them. She calls her husband, Jay, "an amazing man whose selfless dedication to our family inspires me every day." She says her stepson, Sage, is a constant source of hilarity and keeps her and her husband on their toes.
"It's easy to identify with kids ... especially when, in your heart, you're still a kid too," Dr. Peak said. "The secret is putting yourself in their place. Remembering how big and scary and wonderful and mysterious the world seemed when you were little."
Earning a B.A. degree in English and psychology from Baylor University helped Dr. Peak communicate with the children she treats today. After Baylor, she followed her passion and attended medical school at University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Her pediatric residency was at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, where she participated in Angel One emergency helicopter transport service. While there, she also received the Jocelyn Elders Award for excellence in community service. Dr. Peak returned to her home town of Dallas in 1998 and established a pediatric practice in neighboring Carrollton, Texas. She joined Cook Children's Physician Network in Lewisville in 2004.
But she didn't stop there! Dr. Peak is a certified ImPACT concussion provider. An especially important role since we live in a very sports oriented area. She's also an associate professor at TCU's medical school, where she is helping to shape the future of medicine through her teachings. In 2022, she become a Director of Primary Care for Cook Children's Physician Network. When asked about all her commitments, she will tell you that she is always learning new things that ultimately help her to continually stay on top of the latest in pediatric medicine and grow as pediatrician. In her spare time, Dr. Peak enjoys gardening, Pilates, and boating. She can often be found at the lake with Jay, Sage and the world's most amazing Labs, CeCe and Luke.
My children (1 and 11) have been patients of Dr. Peak since they were born. As a new mom, she calmed my fears. Now, with older kids, I love how she takes the time to talk to and listen to them. Her questions and answers are not just directed at me, but at my kids themselves, which I think is great. She helps them understand their treatment and truly listens to their concerns (as well as mine). She is a fantastic doctor, and we are grateful to have her caring for our kids. – Parent family

It was our first visit to Dr. Peak's clinic. After our old doctor Dr Wardell from another facility retired, we had trouble finding a reliable doctor like her for our sons. Dr Peak realized our situation and tried to make us very comfortable. I feel hopeful that she will continue to give my children good care in future.The clinical assistant also did a great job. She took proper history and showed care.

Wait time was short to see the doctor! Love it! I was recommended by others to see Doctor Peak for my daughters care. I was not disappointed!!!!! I was seeking a loving, caring, funny, and attentive pediatrician and I saw that in Dr Peak. Very professional and informative. I will definitely be recommending her practice to those who seek quality and efficient care for their children. My daughter is scheduled to come back in a month for a follow up and she told me that she couldn't wait to go back. That just shows how much she enjoyed seeing Dr Peak. Trust me you never hear your kids say that they want to go back to the doctors. Love Sandra and her staff! Can't wait to come back myself. I felt welcomed and comfortable. I trust Dr Peak and her staff to take care of my daughter. Thank you ! You guys rock!

December 15, 2022
Upon leaving visit, I did not appreciate the front desk receptionist misunderstanding and making confusing statements after I clearly asked to kindly schedule Covid vaccine appointment. The feeling I got was not attentive, slightly mocking and misinterpreting what was stated which was followed by her sarcastic laugh. Front desk needs more professional/customer service training to meet patient/parent satisfaction standard. Provider/Dr was excellent with giving us parents guidance for our child's health and useful info in her expertise.
-

Dr. Peak is very knowledgeable and caring. She explained everything so thoroughly and carefully. We are switching over to her guidance for our son's medical care.
