Bootin and Savrick Pediatric Associates is an independently owned group pediatric practice headquartered in the Texas Medical Center with additional offices in Pearland and Memorial City.

Prior to joining Bootin and Savrick Pediatric Associates, Dr. Sissa practiced newborn nursery and outpatient general pediatrics in Birmingham, Alabama. She has a fondness for new mothers and issues related to adolescence.

Proud to call Houston home, she is affiliated with Woman’s Hospital of Texas, Texas Children’s Hospital, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, and TIRR Memorial Hermann.

Born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia, Dr. Sissa holds a Bachelor of Science with honors in Health and Exercise Science from Wake Forest University.

With a passion for her profession, the doctor is board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends individuals be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

When not at work, Dr. Sissa enjoys jogging, cooking and most importantly, spending quality time with her husband, Nick, and their toddler, Nicholas. She is an active member of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Christian Cathedral and served as a camp counselor for the youth of her church during her college years.
