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.

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!

100% great experience. When I was checking out, we were asked "how was the visit?" And all I could say was "It was THE BEST Doctor's visit any of my kids has ever had!" I had been communicating with Ms. Ida for maybe a week or two trying to get the appointment set up and when we were finished with the appointment, she made it over to us to introduce herself and I felt like royalty because she remembered us and went out of her way to make sure to greet us. The nurse (sorry can't remember her name but that doesn't take away her awesomeness) was so considerate and sweet. My regular CVS pharmacy was shutting down and she was racking her brain trying to help me figure out where they may be sending their customers to so I can know for the future. Dr, Jackson was so great! She had so much information to share with me that others never opened my eyes to. I would trust my entire family to them!! AWESOME AWSOME AWESOME experience!! Never before felt so confident and feeling like all my concerns were addressed and I had 100% understanding. I could go on with the praises!! AMAZING!!
