Meet Dr. Cheryl Sanborn
Dr. Cheryl Sanborn, a native to Austin, first realized she wanted to pursue pediatrics during a mission trip in high school. It was during this trip that she realized the great need for medical prevention and the dramatic impact it can have on a child's long term well-being.
Pursing her dream to become a pediatrician, Dr. Sanborn completed her undergraduate degree and medical school at Texas A&M. It was there in College Station that Dr. Sanborn met her husband and local Dentonite, McLean.
In 2012, after completing their residencies in San Antonio, the Sanborns relocated to North Texas to be closer to their invaluable family. Dr. Sanborn has been practicing in Denton ever since. After a decade in the community, she has grown to love and call Denton her own. She along with her husband, three children, and dog enjoy exploring the community, attending local soccer games, searching for new eateries, biking, and serving at their local church.
With a passion for preventive medicine, Dr. Sanborn hopes to care for not only her patients' physical health but also their mental and spiritual health. Dr. Sanborn enjoys empowering her patients and their families with detailed knowledge throughout all the stages of growth and development. She feels privileged to partner with families as their most precious gifts develop from tiny newborns to thriving adults.
When not at work Dr. Sanborn enjoys reading, cooking, swimming, and most importantly a good snuggle on the couch with her kiddos.

Dr Cheryl Sanborn is phenomenal. She gets down on my son's level to speak with him. He is 3 years old and she really includes him in his care. With my newborn, she listens to all my concerns. She takes time to let me talk without rushing me and makes me feel heard. I could not ask for a better provider to see my children. I am so grateful for her and for all the staff at Cook Children's in north Denton.

Dr. Sanborn is so patient and kind with [...] and her brother, waiting for them to provide consent for each part of the exam and making it a positive experience for them. [...] is now excited to go to the "owie place" rather than dreading doctor visits. Dr. Sanborn is also very gracious about helping parents make informed decisions.

Dr Sanborn is the best. She gets down at my child's level, does what she can to win her trust, and does everything she can to make her feel comfortable and cared for. She's worth the wait! It would be nice to wait a little less, but she is just so wonderful.

Beyond impressed at every visit especially this one as we had a bit more to discuss over health concerns. I was nervous at first due to past experience with other providers (not at cooks ) however I wasn't nervous for long thanks to her expertise and bedside manner .

Dr Sanborn is literally the best pediatrician we have ever encountered (we've had 4 so far). She comes down to the child's level and does whatever she can to engage them in a way that feels safe to them. She is always so kind and patient with my other children in the room at the same time. She takes our questions seriously and explains things very well. She is a top notch pediatrician and we are so grateful to have met her. My children love going to their doctor - who else can say that?!?
