For OB-GYN Sarah Pearl, DO, providing excellent care requires breaking down the complexities of medicine for her patients and ensuring they fully understand their health and treatment plans. She combines her clinical experience and years of training with patients’ knowledge of their bodies to address their concerns.
Dr. Pearl became a doctor because she wanted to be a leader for minority women and help improve their health outcomes. She grew up in a Hispanic household in Southern California where she experienced first-hand her family members’ fears around illness and their health. She wants to empower minority women, who face increased risks for illness, to better understand their own health.
Dr. Pearl provides a full range of expertise in women’s care with specific interest in obstetrics, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, infertility, minority women’s health, adolescent gynecology, LGBTQ health care, and women’s care for military families.
She is married with two boys. She enjoys spending time with her family, especially anything Disney-related, such as movies and parks. Her husband was in the Marine Corps, so she says she is and will always be a Marine Corps wife.
Dr. Pearl performs gynecologic surgery and delivers babies at Saint Luke’s East Hospital.
