Thank You Diamond Sponsor – Sherwood Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Sherwood was born in Panhandle, TX, where his upbringing in a small town provided diverse opportunities in sports, music, and livestock raising at the Carson County Stock Show.

His undergraduate years at the University of Texas at Austin marked the beginning of lasting friendships and was where he met Krista, his future wife. Attending dental school in San Antonio at the University of Texas Health Science Center, he discovered his passion for Pediatric Dentistry. Not too far later, he earned his DDS degree with Cum Laude honors in 1996, followed by a post-doctoral residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Sherwood has been practicing in Austin since 1998. His dedication extends to caring for children with special needs, drawing from his personal experience as the father of a child with cerebral palsy. Dr. Sherwood, along with his wife Krista, has served tirelessly in assisting children facing severe disabilities. The couple, proud parents to Grant, Gabby, Garrett, and Gregory, is actively involved in Grace Covenant Church.

Outside his dental practice, Dr. Sherwood enjoys culinary pursuits, exercise, family movie nights, and playing fetch with Daisy, their beloved Golden Retriever.
