Sarah Zaheer, MD

Dr. Sarah Zaheer is Board-Certified in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine and is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Her diverse experience spans various healthcare settings, including urgent care centers, free clinics, academic institutions, federally qualified health centers, and corporate clinics. She has been featured in National Geographic and quoted on NPR for her expertise.

Dr. Zaheer is deeply committed to addressing healthcare inequities and social injustice and is conscious to do her part. She integrates rest and recreation into her busy schedule as a physician mom and can often be found on the various walking trails in Howard County. She also hosts a 'Walk with a Doc' at Centennial Park, the first Saturday of every month.

Born and raised in Pakistan, Dr. Zaheer attended Shifa College of Medicine in Islamabad. During medical school, she completed an away rotation at Emory in Atlanta, GA, where she developed an appreciation of the American healthcare system. Although she spent that time in the hospital setting rotating through multiple specialty teams, what stood out the most to her was the critical role outpatient primary care doctors played.

Dr. Zaheer completed her Family Medicine residency at the University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City. She then practiced medicine in Texas for several years before relocating to Maryland in 2018 to be closer to her immediate and extended family.
