Clinic Days and Timings

How to Book

1. Choose a clinic: DHA Lahore, Allama Iqbal Town Lahore or Gujranwala.
2. Call or WhatsApp 0333-7574732 with the patient's name, age, main problem and preferred day.
3. Share your reports (optional): you can send a photo of your MRI or CT report on WhatsApp before the visit.
4. Arrive 15 minutes early to register at the hospital reception.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

• MRI, CT and X-ray scans: the films or CD/USB as well as the written reports
• Previous prescriptions and a list of all current medicines, especially blood thinners
• Discharge summaries and operation notes from any earlier treatment
• Reports from other specialists, e.g. endocrinology tests for pituitary problems
• Your CNIC and a family member or attendant

What Happens at the First Consultation

Dr. Khawar Anwar will ask about your symptoms, examine you and review your scans. He will then explain the diagnosis and the options, which often start with medicines, physiotherapy or monitoring. Surgery is only advised when it is likely to help more than non-surgical care. If an operation is suggested, you will be told the type of surgery, the expected hospital stay, the recovery time and the risks, so your family can decide without pressure.

Patients from Outside Lahore and Overseas

Patients from other cities can send their reports on WhatsApp before travelling so they can be advised which clinic to attend. Overseas patients can read about our medical tourism support.

Emergencies

The clinics are for planned appointments. If someone has a sudden severe headache, sudden weakness or numbness, loss of consciousness, a seizure, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a head or spine injury, go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately.
