Dr. M. Maaz Zuberi's passion for medicine is deeply rooted in personal experience and family influence.
“Growing up, I watched my parents who were both physicians dedicate their careers to serving others. They approached their work not as a job, but as a calling," Dr. Zuberi said. “Their compassion, commitment and tireless advocacy for those with limited access to care shaped my understanding of what it means to truly serve others."
He also gained a personal perspective on health care through his mother's experience living with a chronic medical condition.
“It gave me an intimate understanding of the emotional and human side of medicine—the fear, uncertainty and hope that patients and families carry," he said. “Together, these experiences instilled in me the values of empathy, resilience and service, which continue to guide my path."
He earned his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan. He completed a general surgery residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. and a vascular surgery fellowship at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.
“My interest in vascular surgery grew from a combination of personal passions and professional values. I've always loved painting and drawing - activities that require focus, creativity and attention to detail. That same appreciation for precision and aesthetics naturally drew me toward a field that is technically demanding and hands-on," he said. “I also enjoy solving complex problems and thinking critically, especially when innovation and new technology are involved. Vascular surgery sits at the intersection of all these interests."
He treats a range of conditions including peripheral arterial disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm and dissections, venous disorders, dialysis access, mesenteric arterial and venous diseases and thoracic outlet syndrome.
“Vascular surgery uniquely offers not just surgical intervention but also preventive and long-term care. The ability to build lasting relationships with patients while guiding them through acute and chronic phases of disease aligns with the kind of physician I strive to be: technically skilled, patient-centered and deeply engaged," he said.
He's committed to compassionate, patient-centered care that balances technical excellence with empathy.
“Growing up with parents who served underserved communities, I learned early on that medicine is not just about treating disease—it's about understanding the whole person and their unique circumstances," he said.
He is driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in his patients' lives and to help restore their health and quality of life.
Outside of medicine, he enjoys painting, sculpting, photography, theater and videogames. His wife, Dr. Marium Khan, is a pediatric intensivist at Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield. They plan to start and raise a family in Marshfield.
