About Dr. Jethro
A calling rooted in
compassion & faith
Dr. Sarah Jethro is a board-certified family medicine physician who felt called to serve through medicine during a Christian missionary trip in Mozambique, Africa. That experience gave her a vision to bring healing through medicine.
She earned her B.S. (Cum Laude) from A&M Commerce, her D.O. from Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed residency at UT Athens. Her training included ICU, women's health, prenatal care, obstetrics, surgical deliveries, pediatrics, and chronic conditions management.
Outside the office, she's an active member of her local church and enjoys home life with her husband, dogs, and chickens.
