Dr Zahraa Hasafa

Written by a patient at Studholme Medical Centre

Dr Hasafa is the first doctor who rather than telling me to lose weight, told me HOW to do it. She has been the most helpful of any doctors I have met.

Kind and caring are the two words I would use to sum up Dr Hasafa. I went to her for, at that time, a potentially serious illness, she listened and expedited the paperwork as an urgent referral - the hospital called me that same day with an appt for the clinic. She asked me to come back and see her after I had been to the clinic and, good or bad, let her know what was happening. She meant it - it wasn't a throwaway comment. Unfortunately the diagnosis was cancer. I saw Dr Hasafa today and updated her where I was with my surgery/treatment. She was kindness itself...which you need when in a vulnerable state. You don't feel you are wasting her time. If only we had more Dr Hasafa's in world.

Dr Hasafa is a brilliant and caring doctor. She listens to you and asks the right questions to enable her to give a clear diagnosis. She has an open mind and makes me feel that she values my opinion but at the same time she is very skilled and well informed. She is an excellent communicator and explains very clearly what she thinks the problem is, what has probably caused it and the treatment she thinks will alleviate the symptoms .Although she is young, I have total confidence in her and very much hope she stays at the practice. Like most GP's she is obviously coping with a heavy workload but she retains her enthusiasm and professionalism

I have not seen a doctor at the surgery for myself for some time. Following an injury to my knee I needed to see a doctor and was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr Hasafa as I remembered seeing her for my son last year and how caring she was. As the injury to my knee happened whilst I was on holiday abroad I knew that I needed to be seen by an orthopaedic consultant urgently. Dr Hasafa took the time to listen and did not waste any time to get me referred to St Peters. I know how busy Drs are, Dr Hasafa makes time to listen no matter how busy she is and she always puts her patients first. She is an asset to the medical team at Studholme and I would most definitely try and see Dr Hasafa in the future if I need to see a doctor.

I first saw Dr Hasafa last year for my son who kept getting reoccurring tonsillitis. I had seen other doctors and raised my concerns with them that my son kept getting tonsillitis and if my son could be referred to see an ENT specialist. Other doctors dismissed this however when I saw Dr Hasafa she took the time to listen to my concerns and although she did explain that having my sons tonsils removed was still a medical procedure she would happily refer him to be assessed by an ENT specialist. My son had his tonsils removed in the summer 2014 and this is thanks to Dr Hasafa for taking the time to listen. I would highly recommend Dr Hasafa to other patients.
