Dr Sara Zakzouk

Dr Sara Zakzouk grew up in Riyadh and graduated from Alfaisal University College of Medicine in 2022. She chose medicine out of a genuine interest in helping patients understand their health, convinced that clarity is the first treatment.

Before joining Effect Doctors she worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Microbiology at Alfaisal University, supporting medical students through laboratory teaching, and as a Research Assistant at the university's Innovation Center, contributing to research projects across literature review, data collection and analysis.

At Effect Doctors Riyadh she performs consultations and comprehensive medical assessments, develops individualized wellness and treatment plans, and follows her patients through them. Every visit begins with a detailed history, and every diagnosis is explained until it is understood. The moment she cites most is helping an anxious patient finally understand their condition and walk out calm.

One consultation she often recalls: a patient unwell for months who finally left with a clear explanation of their condition and a plan, reassured and confident about the next steps.
