Medical Forum, professional approach

During his stay in U.S Dr Zeb was also on Faculty of the Florida State University and was involved in teaching Rheumatology to Medical Students and residents during their rotation in the Rheumatology clinic. He won excellence for his teaching skills from the residents and the faculty. He also participated in giving lectures to the Doctors during Grand rounds and the Medical Society meetings.

Dr Zeb has written a number of scientific papers as well during his stay at the University of Florida which were published in the peer to peer review journals.

He is a fellow member of the of the American college of Physicians (ACP) and a fellow member of the American college of Rheumatologists (ACR)

He is also a member in good standing of the ARHP (Association of Rheumatology Health Practitioners) and the EULAR (EUROPEAN LEAGUE AGAINST RHEUMATISM)

Dr Zeb is the only Board certified Rheumatologist from Peshawar to Lahore. American trained Rheumatologist has a 2-3 year fellowship program which is very difficult to get in. After their trains they have to pass the board examination and then given the degree as Diplomat in the respective specialty. Although Rheumatologists trained in England may have good experience depending on the time they spend in the Rheumatology ward but as such there is no training program and no exam is conducted.

OUR MISSION is very simple, to provide the quality of care that you deserve. To give you proper attention with courtesy and dignity which is the universal right of every patient, to properly listen to your complaints and take proper history (History is actually” HIS STORY”.80% of all diseases and especially Rheumatologic disease are diagnosed by history alone. Do a thorough physical examination and order the least amount of investigations to decrease the cost of treatment for the patient. We have a special program for the needy patients as well and their fee is calculated according to their level of affordability. Most of our affluent people go U.S. or Europe for the treatment of complicated disease as there is lack of satisfaction from the services provided by the local medical community. I think that is not needed especially in our clinic as the same type of services and treatment will be offered in our clinic. After all thousands of Pakistani Doctors work abroad and if they can provide quality of care services for the people in west why can’t they do the same thing here in their own country. May be there is more material benefits in West but the gratification one receives from the prayers of our patients has no match to the material benefits offered by that society.

Treatment abroad is extremely expensive and tiring as well. Almost all the drugs used for the treatment are available here in Pakistan which is much cheaper but not less effective. If a drug is not available here it can be easily obtained from outside within no time. Moreover Rheumatologic diseases are chronic and need regular follow-ups, blood test and changing of medications often using medications in combination such as T.B drugs are given in combination. So going abroad is fruitless and at the cost of much needed foreign exchange that our country need so badly at this time.

You can get the same quality of care here in our clinic as you would expect in America and Europe with much less cost with the added benefit of the comfort of your home.
