About
Dr. Meghan Tierney founded Sorrel Health & Wellness in Seattle with a clear purpose: to give women the care they deserve. Her path to medicine took an unconventional route. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts before entering medicine. That training sharpened her ability to listen, communicate, and build trust with patients.
Dr. Tierney holds board certification in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine and earned her Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential. She pursued those specializations deliberately. She chose family medicine to follow patients across the full arc of their lives. She added obesity medicine and menopause certification because those fields represent areas where women have historically had to fight to be heard. With more than a decade of clinical experience, she takes an evidence-based approach grounded in curiosity. She wants to understand why a patient feels the way they do, not just what to treat. Outside the office, Dr. Tierney is a married mother of two. She gardens, travels, reads voraciously, and has participated in the same book club for two years.
