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.

Dr Sandra Peak is an incredible doctor with warm and caring bedside manner.
-
November 20, 2024
Dr. Peak always treats my children with kindness, respect and dignity. She really knows how to make kids feel comfortable and she communicates with them in a way that is at their level but without condescension. We don't live particularly close to the office but continuing to see Dr. Peak is worth the drive. Also, the rest of the staff is professional and courteous and does a great job. Great bedside manner from the nurses as well.
