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. Peak has been my daughter's doctor for some time now. Dr. Peak thus far has shown and displayed weel information as to the diagnosis and concern of our daughters and takes the time to talk and listen. Having a good doctor patient relationship is very important as well as to ease the parents mind when their child is ill. Doctor Peak makes my wife and I feel comfortable talking with her and the care she is providing to our two daughters.

Linzy is my son's favorite person. She always greets us with a smile and remember him everytime we come. Claudia is an amazing nurse and so thorough. And most importantly is Dr Peak. There's not enough room on the comment box to say everything. Summary is I went to dr peak when I was a kid and now my son does and there's a reason why. She is literally the best provider we could ever ask for. She loves our son like he's her own son.

I loved how Dr. Peak, even though she is the doctor, was willing to hold lights for the nurse during vaccine administration because the power went out. I was impressed by that, that a doctor would see themselves as too high above the nurse to help with something like holding the light in an unforeseen situation like a power outage.

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.
