Dr Sarah is an exceptional pediatrician: kind, highly professional, and genuinely human in her approach. She takes the time to listen, explains everything with clarity, and shows remarkable attentiveness at every visit. I always feel reassured knowing my child is in her care. I highly recommend her.
We visited Dr Sarah for my son's 1 year checkup. She gave us time to listen to our concerns and answer our questions. She checked his growth and discussed the milestones at this age. Overall it is always a good experience with her and never rushed.
Dr. Sara has been Khadija’s pediatrician from the very first day of her life at Fakeeh Hospital, and our experience with her has been consistently exceptional. From newborn checks to every vaccination and developmental follow-up, she has always treated Khadija with genuine care, patience, and attention. Even after we moved to Abu Dhabi, we continued to rely on her guidance. Whenever Khadija had any issue—even minor concerns—Dr. Sara was always responsive and supportive over WhatsApp, which gave us so much reassurance as new parents. Her clarity, calmness, and the way she explains everything make a huge difference. It’s rare to find a doctor who remembers a child’s full history, works with so much compassion, and gives parents confidence instead of anxiety. We truly appreciate the bond she has built with our daughter and the trust she has built with us over these months. We are very grateful to have her as Khadija’s doctor. Warm regards, Laila & Saif

Mechi Nazar Anchorena | Gentle Sleep Coach on Instagram: "La alimentación y el sueño van de la mano. Cuando entendemos cómo un área impacta en la otra, logramos un descanso más profundo y un desarrollo más saludable. 🇬🇧Sarah: In the first few months, breastfeeding is the main source of nutrition and it can also affect sleep. Later on, when we introduce solids, it doesn’t mean that babies automatically sleep better, but we do see that proper nutrition helps them feel more satisfied. Mechi: Exactly. What’s important to understand is that feeding, whether it’s breast, bottle, or solids, doesn’t guarantee that your baby will sleep well at night. But if your baby doesn’t eat well during the day, it’s likely they’ll wake up more often at night. Calories that aren’t consumed during the day will be requested at night! And when solids are introduced, it helps to create feeding routines that work alongside sleep. Sarah: It’s not about how much they eat, but how their intake is distributed throughout the day. That makes all the difference for nighttime sleep. A well-fed day often leads to a calmer night. Sarah: Feeding and sleep go hand in hand. Mechi: When we take care of one, we support the other. 👩🏻⚕️ Dra. Sarah Risk Especialista en pediatría y medicina del adolescente 🧠 Lic.
