About
Dr. Cheryl Stanford has practiced family medicine for about twenty years, building a career defined by deep patient relationships and a genuine curiosity about the people she cares for. She takes time in every visit to listen carefully and understand how a patient's background, circumstances, and goals shape their health. She supports patients through lifestyle improvements at whatever pace works for them.
Her passion for international medicine took her to six countries, where she saw firsthand how access and continuity with a known physician shape health outcomes. That experience drew her to the DPC model. She holds board certification in Family Medicine. When she is not seeing patients, she spends time with her husband and children, hikes with her golden retriever, and pursues paddleboarding, skiing, and camping.
