About
Dr. Mirwais approaches each appointment with attention and care. He focuses on understanding what matters to you, not only what is on a problem list. That often means starting with your goals, daily routine, and any barriers to care. From there, he works with you to build a plan you can follow.
Cultural context can shape how symptoms are described and how health choices are made. He aims to provide culturally sensitive care that respects those differences. If you feel more comfortable speaking Pashto, Hindi, or Urdu, you can request that during scheduling when options are available.
Education & Training
His medical training began at Sheikh Zayed Medical College (University of Health Sciences, Lahore), where he completed his M.B.B.S. He later continued his training in the United States, completing residency in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel Lahey Health – Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Sabowon Mirwais also has a background in clinical research from his time as a research fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. That experience supports a careful, evidence-aware approach to evaluating symptoms and reviewing treatment options during visits.
Care Areas
Dr. Mirwais provides evaluation and management for a wide range of acute and chronic concerns, along with preventive care and wellness planning. Telehealth can be a good fit when you want to discuss symptoms, review medications, or map out next steps without delaying care.
If appropriate, prescriptions may be coordinated through partner pharmacies, per state rules.
Common reasons patients schedule a visit include:
- Discussing new symptoms and deciding what to do next
- Reviewing chronic conditions, current medications, and monitoring plans
- Preventive care conversations and long-term wellness planning
- Prescription refill appointments when clinically appropriate for continuity of care
If your concern requires a physical exam, urgent testing, or in-person treatment, he can help you think through what level of care is needed next. For emergencies, in-person emergency care is the right choice.
What to Expect in a Telehealth Visit
A telehealth appointment is structured like an office visit, but it happens by video. You can expect a focused conversation about your main concern, your health history, and any recent changes. Dr. Mirwais typically clarifies symptom timing, severity, and what you have already tried. He may also review your medication list to confirm what you take and how you take it.
When it helps, you can share home readings you already have, such as temperature or blood pressure. You can also describe what you are seeing or feeling in plain language. The goal is a clear plan, which may include self-care steps, follow-up, recommended in-person evaluation, or coordination of prescriptions when appropriate.
Your clinician makes all medical decisions during the visit.
A visit with Sabowon Mirwais should leave you with next steps you understand. If something is uncertain, it is reasonable to ask what signs would warrant urgent care, what follow-up is needed, and what information would help at a future visit.
How to Prepare
A little preparation can make your appointment smoother and more productive. Choose a quiet, well-lit space where you can speak comfortably. If possible, log in a few minutes early to test your camera, microphone, and connection. Headphones can help with privacy and sound quality.
Before the visit, gather a short set of notes so you do not have to rely on memory. Useful items include your current medication list (names and doses), allergies, key medical history, and the pharmacy information you prefer to use. If you are requesting a refill, noting when you last took the medication and what has changed since your last prescription can be helpful for the clinical discussion.
It also helps to write down two or three questions you want answered. If you have a timeline of symptoms, keep it simple: when it started, what makes it better or worse, and what you are worried it could be. This keeps the visit focused and makes it easier to end with a clear plan.
