Dr. Sarah Wiersma grew up in the Scottsdale area and joined our North Scottsdale Pediatrics family after completing her residency training in Tucson. Dr. Wiersma was one of the top residents at the University of Arizona who was a leader in her class and very involved in community programs to promote literacy, oral health and car seat safety.
Dr. Wiersma's favorite part of pediatrics is following children and their families over time and watching them grow. Her patients find her caring, passionate, and thorough. She has particular interests in the areas of breastfeeding medicine, asthma management, and helping manage skin problems like eczema and acne. She has completed the training required to be a lactation consultant (IBCLC) to provide the best support to parents who choose to breastfeed. She is currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and is the Vice Chair of Pediatrics for the Honor Health Network.
