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.

Dr. Rourke went above and beyond to explain treatments and tests. She also was sensitive to my daughters privacy. She's an excellent clinician.

Our little one lives Dr. Rourke! During her LOA we saw several other Sharp providers (who were all great!) but we're excited Dr. Rourke is back. She was able to check my daughter's ears without a huge fight (I don't think anyone else has ever accomplished that). She addressed all the concerns we had brought up and provided some helpful insight for our daughter's diet and nutrition.
