Background
As a resident in Syracuse, NY, Dr. Houssayni received the
Excellence in Teaching award, selected out of all residents by third and
fourth year medical students.
While in residency at KU, she completed a reportable case
study on Spinal Kink Syndrome, a rare syndrome that causes severe
malformation of the spine resulting in paraplegia.
Dr. Houssayni received a scholarship to attend the American
University of Beirut, Lebanon. She is multilingual--in addition to
English, Sara is fluent in Arabic and French, and speaks Spanish.
Dr. Houssayni is married to Dr. Nazih Moufarrij, a vascular
neurosurgeon with Wichita Surgical Specialists, and is the mother of twin
boys.
Philosophy of Practice - "To me, being a
pediatrician means being an important part of developing a child's
potential."
Dr. Houssayni considers herself a child advocate and likes to treat not only
the child who is sick, but also prevent the underlying problems that cause
illness.
She is interested in guiding families to realize their child's full
potential, and help parents with their child's psychological, emotional and
physical development.
Similar to a seed, children grow and develop. Dr. Houssayni anticipates
seeing children grow from newborns to young adulthood, and hopes to help
them become all that they were meant to be.
Her hope is to help families navigate the best way to that goal and make it
as smooth as possible so that families will enjoy and appreciate their
children.
