About Sara Rourke, MD
I chose medicine for the long-lasting relationships and connections with my patients. Families make being a pediatrician the best job in the world. I can't imagine doing anything else. I believe in family-centered care; no one knows a child better than their parent or guardian. My job as a physician is to listen to patients and their families and use that information, coupled with my medical knowledge and experience, to promote and optimize each child's health and wellness. It is such a privilege to contribute to the healthy growth and development of children. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time camping, hiking and exploring outdoors with my husband and our children.

We couldn't be more grateful to have found Dr. Rourke. From day one, she has been everything you could hope for in a pediatrician-knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and incredibly attentive. She takes the time to explain things thoroughly, makes our child feel comfortable and heard, and always treats us with genuine care and respect. It's clear she truly loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. We feel so blessed to have her guiding our child's care-she's truly one of a kind!

Dr. Rourke is the most wonderful doctor! She is sincere, genuine, happy and easy to talk to. My son really enjoys having her as his doctor, and he's a teenager. He feels she truly listens to him.
