About Us

At Zayf Medical, we provide private GP appointments for individuals and families who want timely access to medical care, without long waits or rushed consultations.

Founded by Dr Samar Shefta, an experienced General Practitioner, Zayf Medical was created to offer something increasingly difficult to find in modern healthcare: time to talk, continuity of care, and easy access to medical advice when you need it.

Whether you have a new symptom that is worrying you, an ongoing health concern, or simply want a second opinion, we are here to help.

Our Approach

We believe that good healthcare starts with listening.

Every patient is different, which is why we take the time to understand your concerns, answer your questions and explain your options clearly. Our aim is not simply to diagnose and treat, but to help you feel informed, reassured and confident about your health.

You will see an experienced doctor who takes the time to get to know you, understand your medical history and work with you to find the most appropriate next steps.

What We Offer

We provide a wide range of private GP services, including:

• Same-day and pre-bookable appointments

• Assessment of new symptoms and medical concerns

• Management of long-term health conditions

• Blood tests, ECGs and diagnostic investigations

• Specialist referrals and imaging requests

• Health checks and preventative healthcare

• Medical certificates, reports and occupational health assessments

Whether your concern is straightforward or more complex, we aim to provide clear advice and a practical plan of action.

Our Commitment

Healthcare should feel personal.

We are committed to providing accessible, evidence-based medical care in a professional, confidential and welcoming environment. We believe patients deserve the time to be heard, the opportunity to ask questions, and the confidence that their concerns are being taken seriously.

At Zayf Medical, our goal is simple: to make accessing high-quality medical care straightforward, reassuring and centred around you.

    Doctor and Founder of Zayf Medical

    I am an experienced General Practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience and a strong commitment to providing accessible, patient-centred medical care.

    Throughout my career, I have worked across a variety of healthcare settings, developing particular interests in preventative medicine, women's health, sexual health, dermatology and lifestyle medicine. Alongside my work at Zayf Medical, I continue to practise within the NHS, helping me maintain a broad and up-to-date understanding of everyday healthcare needs.

    I founded Zayf Medical to create a service where patients have the time to discuss their concerns properly, ask questions, and receive personalised advice without feeling rushed. Whether you are seeking help for a new symptom, managing a long-term condition, arranging investigations, or looking to improve your overall health, my aim is to provide clear, evidence-based medical guidance tailored to your individual needs.

    I believe that good healthcare is built on trust, communication and continuity. Every consultation is approached with professionalism, compassion and a genuine commitment to helping patients make informed decisions about their health.

    Outside of medicine, I am a wife, mother and foster parent. I understand the challenges of balancing health, family and everyday life, which is why I strive to provide practical, realistic healthcare that fits around the people I care for.
