Dr. Samy Zakout

Dr. Samy Zakout is a consultant rheumatologist at Medcare Hospital in Sharjah with 25 years of clinical experience across critical care, general medicine, and specialist rheumatology. He trained extensively in the UK, holding an MD from the University of Bristol and fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians. Before joining Medcare, he worked as a consultant rheumatologist at Weston Area Health NHS Trust and as an honorary senior lecturer at the University of Bristol, bringing both clinical expertise and academic depth to his practice.

Dr. Zakout specialises in diagnosing and managing complex autoimmune diseases, particularly ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia. He has particular expertise in immunosuppressive therapy — the use of medications to control overactive immune responses. His approach combines rigorous specialist training with practical experience managing complicated inflammatory conditions that often require careful drug management and long-term monitoring.

He is well-suited for patients with complex or difficult-to-treat joint and autoimmune conditions, especially those needing specialist input on newer medications or coordinated care with other specialists. Dr. Zakout is a member of the Royal College of Physicians, the British Society of Rheumatology, and the General Medical Council (UK).
