Sarah Araji, MD, MS

I take care of patients with high-risk pregnancies. I try to have an empathetic patient-centered approach, where communication, respect and shared decision making are key to the patient doctor relationship. I aim to achieve a collaborative approach as much as possible to provide multidisciplinary care for our patients.
