Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah: Al Taawun, Al Zahia, Services, Reviews & Booking
Searching for Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah can mean more than one clinic. This guide helps you distinguish Medcare Medical Centre – Al Taawun from Medcare Medical Centre – Al Zahia, check current services and timings, use the official appointment and insurance routes, understand reviews and photos, find Medcare careers information and avoid confusing a medical centre with Medcare Hospital Sharjah.
Quick answer: Medcare currently lists two medical-centre locations in Sharjah covered here: Al Taawun, at Al Jawhara Building on Al Taawun Street opposite Sharjah Expo Center, and Al Zahia, at Al Zahia Uptown on University City Road in Muwaileh Commercial. Medcare’s common patient contact is 800 MEDCARE / 800 633 2273. Choose the branch before selecting a doctor, checking insurance or travelling.
Medical centre visit or hospital emergency?
Medcare’s Sharjah medical centres are outpatient clinic locations. Do not assume that a medical centre has the same emergency, inpatient, ICU or surgical capability as a hospital.
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah: Al Taawun vs Al Zahia

Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centre Sharjah: do not mix the clinic and hospital
Search results for “Medcare hospitals & medical centre Sharjah” can mix outpatient clinics with hospital-level facilities. This matters because operating hours, emergency access, inpatient capability and available specialties are different.
Multi-specialty outpatient medical centre with provider-listed laboratory, diagnostic services and an in-house pharmacy.
Multi-specialty outpatient centre serving Al Zahia / Muwaileh and nearby Sharjah communities.
Separate hospital-level entity. Medcare currently publishes hospital locations/services with inpatient and emergency capability. Do not treat the clinic branches as interchangeable with the hospital.
Who regulates a Medcare medical centre in Sharjah?
Current Ministry of Health and Prevention information continues to provide licensing and re-licensing services for private healthcare facilities, including medical centres. MOHAP and the Sharjah Economic Development Department have also established an electronic integration for Sharjah health-facility licensing procedures.
MOHAP’s current facility-licensing services cover medical centres, clinics, hospitals, diagnostic centres and other private healthcare-facility types.
This establishes the regulatory route; it does not justify inventing a specific Medcare facility licence number when a branch-specific public licence record has not been independently resolved.
Medcare pages currently show the same “MOH Approval / License” style footer code across many unrelated facility pages. Because it appears site-wide, this guide does not relabel that footer value as the individual Al Taawun or Al Zahia healthcare-facility licence number.
Services offered by Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah
Medcare does not present every Sharjah branch as having exactly the same scope. The safest approach is to use the branch-specific service descriptions below and confirm newer booking categories before travelling.
Medcare Medical Centre Al Taawun services
The current Al Taawun branch description explicitly lists these specialties:
The official provider also says the Al Taawun centre has laboratory and diagnostic services plus an in-house pharmacy. Current booking interfaces may expose additional appointment categories, including ophthalmology or radiology; confirm availability for your intended date.
Medcare Medical Centre Al Zahia services
The current Al Zahia branch description specifically identifies:
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah doctors: use the live branch booking roster
Medcare’s current branch pages and booking portal publish doctor lists, but roster size and visible doctor counts differ across official interfaces and can change as doctors move schedules or practise across more than one Medcare facility.
Select Al Taawun or Al Zahia before interpreting a doctor’s name as proof of current branch availability.
Confirm the provider-listed professional specialty rather than relying only on generic search-result wording.
A doctor appearing in the directory does not guarantee that the doctor is seeing patients at your chosen time.

How to book Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah
Can I walk into Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah without an appointment?
Current local listings may label appointments as recommended or required, but that does not prove one universal Medcare walk-in policy for every specialty. General consultations, specialist visits, dental procedures, physiotherapy, diagnostics and aesthetic services can have different booking requirements.
Does Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah accept insurance?
Medcare has an official insurance-partners/checker page. Medcare itself warns that not all insurance cards are accepted at all Medcare branches and advises patients to validate coverage before booking.
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah consultation fees and other costs
A reliable current branch-wide standard consultation-fee table was not verified. Do not use an old promotion, review comment or another Medcare branch’s price as the expected fee for Al Taawun or Al Zahia.
| Possible charge | Question to ask before treatment |
|---|---|
| Doctor consultation | What is the current consultation fee for this doctor at this exact branch? |
| Follow-up | Is follow-up included, discounted or separately charged, and for how long? |
| Lab | Are tests separate from the consultation and is insurance approval required? |
| Radiology / diagnostics | What is the test price and is a referral or pre-approval required? |
| Dental treatment | Is consultation/X-ray separate from the procedure estimate? |
| Physiotherapy | Is assessment separate from sessions and is a package being quoted? |
| Medicine / pharmacy | Are prescribed medicines billed separately? |
| Insurance share | What co-pay, deductible or non-covered amount applies to my exact plan? |
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah reviews
Public map/business listings currently show strong ratings for both Sharjah medical-centre locations, but ratings and review counts change continuously. When checked on 31 August 2026, the Al Taawun listing displayed approximately 4.9/5 from 3,576 reviews, while the Al Zahia listing displayed approximately 4.9/5 from 1,111 reviews.
Recent comments about reception, appointment handling, billing clarity, location, parking and communication can help with visit planning.
Do not mix an Al Zahia experience with Al Taawun or with Medcare Hospital Sharjah.
A review cannot prove professional licensing, treatment effectiveness, insurance eligibility or that another patient will have the same outcome.
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah photos
Photos are most useful for confirming the exact building and entrance. Medcare’s current Al Zahia branch page includes an official facility image, while the Al Taawun provider page includes facility/location media. This independent guide does not automatically hotlink or republish provider photographs because copyright and freshness should be considered separately.
Match images with Al Jawhara Building / Al Taawun Street and the Sharjah Expo Center landmark. Do not rely on an old entrance photo for today’s timing.

Medcare’s official careers page directs applicants to the group’s recruitment portal for current openings. Because vacancies change frequently, this guide does not publish a static list of “Sharjah jobs” that could become outdated.
Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah by owner: brand ownership vs map “By owner”
This query can mean two different things.
Medcare’s current official philosophy page states that Medcare is part of Aster DM Healthcare Group. Medcare’s leadership page identifies Dr. Azad Moopen as Founder Chairman & Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare.
This page does not convert group affiliation or founder/chairman status into an unsupported claim about the legal shareholder of each individual Sharjah medical-centre licence.
A map-platform label such as “By owner” normally refers to content submitted through the business profile. It is useful for identifying entrances or provider-posted updates, but it is not a corporate ownership certificate, healthcare licence or independent review.

Are Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah reviews good?
Current public map listings display high ratings for both Al Taawun and Al Zahia, but ratings and counts change constantly. Use recent branch-specific reviews for service-experience context rather than as proof of clinical quality or outcomes.

This guide does not claim that this wording proves the precise legal shareholder of each individual Sharjah facility licence.
What does “Medcare Medical Centre Sharjah by owner” mean?
On map/photo platforms, “By owner” normally refers to business-profile content submitted by the business. It is not proof of healthcare licensing or legal ownership.

The official Arabic Medcare pages use مركز ميدكير الطبي – التعاون، الشارقة for Al Taawun and مركز ميدكير الطبي – الزاهية، الشارقة for Al Zahia.
