Sarah Meghan Arant Thompson
Sandhills Pediatrics - West Columbia Office

Practicing pediatrics since 2009, Dr. Thompson brings a global perspective to every exam room. A College of Charleston graduate, she earned her MD at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine and completed her residency at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Medicine is in her family — her father is an "old-school" pediatrician — and that calling has taken her around the world: hospitals in Nairobi, Sudan (where she sheltered with 90,000 others at a UN compound during a national lockdown), and medical missions through Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and Ecuador. Those experiences shape how she practices today. She has watched families hike for two days just to get a vaccine, and she has seen what diseases like measles can do to communities without access. Vaccines, she'll tell you, make a profound difference. Her clinical passions include lactation support, asthma care, and the steady work of building trusting, long-term relationships with families. She speaks some Spanish and loves the chance to care for diverse families across the Midlands.
