Professional History
Sarah MacKinnon, originally from Middleton, Nova Scotia in Canada, is the Chief Orthoptist within the Ophthalmology Department. She joined Boston Children’s Hospital in 2004, after completing her orthoptic training at Dalhousie University. Sarah has performed research and has a clinical interest in strabismus, congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders and craniosynostosis.
