Sarah Robbins
Hello, I am the office manager here at Columbus Podiatry & Surgery. However, when I began here in June 2007, I worked as a medical assistant. I enjoy the clinical aspects our practice very much, so you might see me helping in the back. I am currently finishing up my associate's degree at Columbus State. I plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management at Franklin University soon. I currently reside in Gahanna with my 5 year-old son. Outside of managing our practice, my largest interest is music. I play guitar and enjoy writing as well. I guess, you could call me a country music nut! If you have any questions or concerns regarding our practice, please feel free to call and speak with me at any time. Take care of those feet, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
