About Dr. Wiersma

Dr. Sarah Wiersma is a board-certified pediatrician and breastfeeding medicine specialist in Scottsdale, Arizona. She started PeaPod Pediatrics after leaving corporate medicine to provide you direct access to your pediatrician. As a mother herself, she understands what it’s like to raise little ones and wants to provide convenience to your family. Families love that they can text Dr. Wiersma directly! She enjoys watching her patients grow and partnering with you to keep your kids healthy. With a smaller patient panel, she now has more time to dedicate to the care of your family. Her patients find her caring, passionate, and thorough. Dr. Wiersma has particular interests in the areas of feeding and nutrition, preventive medicine, and parenting advice. Dr. Wiersma has completed the training required for board certification in breastfeeding medicine (NABBLM-C) and to be a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) to provide the best support to parents who choose to breastfeed. Outside of her practice she enjoys spending time with her own children, running, and reading nonfiction.
