As a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician with the additional Board certification in Sports Medicine (CAQSM), Dr. Sara Walker is uniquely qualified to provide care for the needs of artistic athletes as they prepare for performance goals and aim to prevent or recover from injury. This includes diagnostic ultrasound evaluation and ultrasound-guided injections as indicated by the clinical presentation.
With her Family Medicine background, Dr. Sara can also assist with general medical concerns and health issues beyond the musculoskeletal injuries that plague many athletes. Dr. Sara is trained in performing women’s health and men’s health exams, as well as birth control measures. This includes common gynecological procedures, such as IUD placement/removal, Nexplanon placement/removal, Pap smears, and STD testing.
Dr. Sara can evaluate and treat the whole patient, whether it is a sinus infection that affects the athlete’s ability to breathe enough oxygen or a sore throat that affects the tone quality of a singer’s voice. Most importantly, Dr. Sara treats you as a whole person, not as an injured body part or a specific diagnosis.
