Why do my tests come back normal when I still feel unwell?
What a normal result can and cannot tell you.

Dr. Heba Haddara · Physician · Functional Medicine
Connecting the whole picture. Leading your treatment. Staying with you as it evolves.
Why people come
People often come to me when…
-
Your energy, sleep or digestion have changed, and your results keep coming back normal.
-
Your weight, metabolism or hormones are shifting, and the pieces no longer add up.
-
Stress is arriving from several directions at once, and your body is feeling it.
-
You have seen several doctors, and each has told you something different.
My concern is not with the diagnosis itself, and I'm not trying to dismiss or challenge a legitimate medical diagnosis.
The physician behind the approach
A medical doctor first
My path in medicine began in Clinical Genetics at Ain Shams University, with families of children born with genetic conditions. It taught me why illness, and the response to treatment, differ from one person to another. More than thirty-five years later, I bring the same attention to every person I see.

What I do
From understanding to treatment
You do not need to arrive with your story in order. Bringing it together is where my work begins, not where it ends.
How I work-
Understand the whole picture
Your story, your results and your life, from the beginning.
-
Connect what belongs together
Symptoms, results and diagnoses, read side by side and in context.
-
Set the therapeutic direction
As your physician, I set the direction of treatment with you, and its first steps.
-
Stay with you, and adjust
I stay actively involved and adapt the direction as things change.
Where we begin
Your first three sessions
-
Session One
Understanding the whole picture.
-
Session Two
Connecting what matters and setting priorities.
-
Session Three
Setting the therapeutic direction, and its first steps.
You book Session One first. If further support helps you after these three, we decide it together.
Alongside your care
Never instead of your other doctors
Each specialist looks closely at their own area, and that care matters. My work sits alongside your other doctors, never instead of them. I do not stop or change a treatment another doctor has prescribed.
Who I see
Many of the people I see are women in midlife
Women in their late thirties to early fifties, often managing work, family and their own health at the same time, and finding that the pieces no longer add up. Men, and adults at other stages of life, are equally welcome.
In person in Cairo, and online for people in Egypt, the Gulf and further afield.
Consultations in Arabic or English. I explain everything in the language you are most comfortable with, and I understand how health is spoken about in Arab families and cultures.
