Meet Dr. Sharon L. Jackson
Ten years of age is when I made the decision to be a pediatrician. My dad retired from the Air Force and we moved to Oklahoma City where I started a new school and met my new best friend. Her mother, who was my pediatrician, and her dad, the first black OB Gyn in OK,C influenced my path towards medicine.
Along with encouragement from my parents I maintained that path. I received my B.S in Biology from Lincoln University in Jefferson City MO. My M.D. from Howard University College of Medicine in Washington D.C., and went on to complete my residency at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore, Maryland. I believe my exposure to living overseas at a young age sparked an interest in travel. I spent a month volunteering in Kajabi, Kenya after finishing residency and volunteered a week in Haiti a year after the big earthquake. I have also been blessed to travel to Asia, Europe and the Caribbean.
As a major in the United States Air Force, I served as a physician on staff seeing children and also overseeing the vaccination of troops prior to deployment.
In 2011, I began teaching newborn classes to expectant young mothers at my church. I speak to them about how to find a pediatrician, what to expect in the delivery room and what the pediatrician does after the baby is delivered. I educate them about vaccines and breastfeeding.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, of course. My hobbies include shopping and reading about history. I am married and we have 2 boys who I love dearly and I always encourage them to pursue their dreams and never be afraid to work hard. ?

Dr. Jackson is a great doctor. We have been with her since our child was a baby, unfortunately we had moved and switched doctors. But we have moved back and came back to her. She Is an amazing doctor. She was never one of those that like to medicate children with unnecessary medication. I like that she doesn't force people and patients with the vaccination. She explains it and if it's not necessary she will let you know. Sometimes we as parent freak out when something is wrong with out child and want the best. But she calms you down and says it's something simple, no worries and let you know what you can do, and what medication can help. And if we would like for her to call in some medication to help. These are the type of doctors we need more of in this world.

Everyone at the office, from the time I make the appointment, check in, and go back with the nurse is kind, patient, and helpful. We love Cook Childrens. I love how they talk to my daughter and not through me. They will ask me questions if needed, but are helping my daughter to talk to health care professionals and feel important. This is where her first impressions of doctors is coming from. I feel fortunate for her to have these positive experiences!
