Dr Zainab is best in class for complicated pediatric requirements - she has excellent technical knowledge and skills combined with first class bedside manner. She’s been extraordinary helpful and professional through our complex journey with our sickly baby, who is now healthy and happy in large part thanks to Dr Zainab. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

She is a fantastic, caring, very effective doctor. One of our boys has been coughing for weeks and after one visit with her, she modified the treatment (prescribed by another doctor) slightly added a few more medications, the cough literally stopped overnight. She is amazing and both boys love her.

Dr Zainab is one of the most experienced and professional paediatricians we have met. Her bedside manner is next level and she is extremely thorough in her understanding and investigation. We have never felt rushed or confused after visiting her- she gives the parents and the children explanations that are at our level. We have been with her for many years and trust her blindly. It’s extremely rare to find a doctor that you don’t need to question- that reassures a patient that she’s got their best interest at heart.

She is a wonderful doctor!! Calm, compassionate, great listener and has excellent clinical judgement. We trust her implicitly with our children’s medical needs and recommend her to everyone we know. Thank you for being our pillar during the difficult journey!

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
