Dr. Mara Seat

Dr. Seat earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Florida and her medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Medicine in Clearwater. She completed her pediatrics residency at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Her love of pediatrics began on a high school medical mission trip to Zambia, where she saw the special bond between mothers and babies. She realized how much pediatricians can shape the next generation’s path to healthy adulthood, and she has carried that purpose into her practice ever since.

A Sarasota native, Dr. Seat spent three years in Chicago, where she enjoyed city life and met her husband. Outside of work, she loves the beach, rollerblading, traveling, enjoying Thai food, and spending her free time with her golden retriever, Ralph.
