Sara B. Robertson, MD
Specialties: Children's Anesthesiology
Gender: Female
Biography: I grew up in Jackson, MS. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi in 2006 Summa Cum Laude and then graduated from the University of Mississippi Medical School in 2010. I completed residency and fellowship training at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (2010-2014) and Arkansas Children's Hospital (2014-2015). I am currently an associate professor in the department of Anesthesiology here at UMMC and work full-time as a pediatric anesthesiologist. I am married to Dr. Hess Robertson, who is a critical care anesthesiologist in the surgical intensive care unit at UMMC. We have two daughters, Lucy and Louise.
My Approach to Healthcare
I aim to treat every child that treat as my own. Great care is taken to know not only the medical issues that have brought the child to the hospital for a surgery or procedure but also to get to know the child and family. This job is my calling, and I strive to do my very best every single day for my patients. Patient-centered care is paramount!
