Sheryl Reaves, O.D.

Dr. Sheryl Reaves is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry. She completed her residency training in ocular disease and primary care at the Department of Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System. Dr. Reaves then completed her Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry. She has experience in private practice, academia, and community healthcare.


Throughout her academic and professional career, Dr. Reaves has recognized the importance of advocacy, at all levels, for marginalized voices to be amplified. It is her belief that our educational and professional experiences are richer and more substantive the more representation there is at the table. Therefore, she and three other Black women alum from Berkeley Optometry formed Chroma Consulting Group, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in fostering institutional belonging.

​When she's not working, Dr. Reaves is spending time with her husband and playing with hot wheels and dinosaurs with their toddler, Junior.
