Practice philosophy: Each patient is an individual, with unique strengths and challenges. Listening and learning what is important to each person is central to the doctor-patient relationship.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be: a teacher. I enjoy partnering with others in the process of learning. I believe that educating is a vital role of a physician and is at the heart of good clinical care.
Something I have learned from my patients is: I have learned that people are very resilient and everyone has the capacity for healing and growth.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): Patients have different goals for treatment, and what works for one person may not be helpful for another. I enjoy getting to know each patient as a person and working together to come up with an individualized treatment plan that will fit their needs.
I am most proud of: my three children

Dr. Rebecca Sherwood
I like Dr. Sherwood & she listens to me.
Dr. Sherwood is amazing!
She is kind and a great listener
Very through assessment. She really took her time with us.
The wait time for the dr, is always a bit longer than I'd like, but worth it if I have the time.
Interesting in what I what I saying.
Dr. Sherwood is always personable and creates a very welcoming atmosphere. She has a wealth of knowledge and offers extremely valuable advice. I thoroughly look forward to our appointments together and would highly recommend her to my friends and family.
Lifelong care
Most important reason: knowledge. She understands the drugs and balances my input to her questions for any changes. She is thoughtful and does not pressure you in the appointment.
