A family tradition of care
The story behind Zaheen Medical Center, and the people you will meet when you visit.
Medicine runs in the family.
Dr. Asia Zaheen founded Zaheen Medical Center out of a deep wish to help people in need. Her parents were both surgeons, and growing up she watched how completely they gave themselves to their patients. She knew early that she would follow them.
For more than 25 years she has cared for people of every background in this community. Patients come back for her clinical judgement, and for the way she treats each of them as a person. Her children like to say she loves her patients even more than she loves them.
Around the clinic you will see her artwork. As a child she drew and painted constantly, and though medicine leaves little time for it now, she still shares it with her patients. For her, care is not only about treating an illness. It is about the whole person, their worries and their hopes, and the art on the walls is part of that.
Art on the walls
Dr. Zaheen has painted since she was a child. Her work hangs throughout the clinic, a reminder that care is about people, not only conditions.
What we believe
Three ideas that guide every visit, from the front desk to the exam room.
- 01
Seeing you for who you are
We see patients as individuals with lives, worries and hopes, not as a list of symptoms.
- 02
Compassionate care
Unhurried, personal attention at every visit, whether you walked in today or have known us for years.
- 03
A legacy of dedication
A family tradition of lifelong medical service, carried into everything the clinic does.
The team
Guided by Dr. Zaheen’s way of working, the team treats every patient with patience and respect, from the front desk to the end of your visit.
