When to see a cardiologist, and when your GP is enough
Chest pain doesn't always mean cardiac. Cardiac doesn't always announce itself with chest pain. Here's the deciding line.

DHA Phase 5 · Karachi
Your family's first stop for general medicine.
Three doctors, one clinic, walk-in and appointments — internal medicine, paediatrics, GP care for everyone from the youngest to the eldest in your house.
Our Clinic
Fifteen years of family medicine in DHA, on one street.
MediCare Family Clinic opened in 2011 — a single GP room next to a small pharmacy on Khayaban-e-Shujaat. We now run three consult rooms, a paediatric area with a small play corner, and a quiet observation bay for IV fluids and short procedures. Every doctor on our team has been with us for at least four years.
We're not the place for emergencies or hospital-level care — for that please dial 1122 or visit Aga Khan, Liaquat National, or South City. We are the place for fevers, vaccinations, hypertension reviews, asthma flare-ups, paediatric check-ups, women's-health consultations, and the slow-moving conditions (diabetes, thyroid, cholesterol) that need someone who remembers you between visits.
- PMDC-registered doctorsAll three of our doctors hold valid PMDC registration with active CME compliance.
- Electronic medical recordsYour file is with us, every visit — no "first time?" question on your fourth visit.
- Insurance panels acceptedCashless direct billing with four insurers including Jubilee Health and EFU.

What our patients say
Reviews from patients who agreed to share their experience. Calm, accurate, real.
“Dr. Imran has looked after my son from his first vaccination at 6 weeks to his asthma plan now at age 9. The continuity is the difference — he knows our family's history without me re-explaining it every time.”
S
Saima A.
DHA, Karachi
“Dr. Ayesha's diabetes plan got me from an HbA1c of 9.8 to 6.4 in fourteen months. Clear written plan, monthly WhatsApp check-ins, no scolding for the bad weeks.”
M
Mohammad Y.
Khayaban-e-Shujaat
“Walk-in waits can be 40 minutes on a busy Tuesday but the actual consultation is unhurried — felt like she had all afternoon for me. Would book appointment-only in future.”
R
Rabia H.
DHA Phase 6
“Came in for a fever consultation; left with a clear plan and a follow-up WhatsApp check from Dr. Sara two days later asking how my son was doing. Small thing, mattered a lot.”
