Over the past 25 years, Abeer Saqer has established a bridge between Houston’s thriving medical community to the Middle East and beyond, making the city’s advancements in medicine accessible to people around the globe.
Abeer began her career at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she established the first International Patient Center for service with focus on the Middle East.

“My mission is not only to introduce patients to the best treatments, but to guide them towards a healthy and happy future.”
“My deepest commitment is to my patients. The road to health and recovery is not only about medicine, but embracing each day with positivity and strength. I treat clients as I would my family, always offering my support finding the latest possible treatment available in USA with time, compassion, and endless optimism.”
“Losing my mother to cancer as a child is a wound I’ll always carry in my heart, but my mother’s experience is the reason for my life’s work. I want to take care of patients the way I wished my mother was taken care of—with comfort in knowing that they will always have someone at their side, even when their family can’t be with them.”
