Dr. Sarah Abdoulraman

UPDATE SEPT 1, 2025 – Dr Sarah is currently on maternity leave.

After completing her undergraduate studies at UBC, Dr. Sarah moved to Ireland in 2011 to study family medicine. She graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2016, followed by five years of postgraduate training, including rotations in large multidisciplinary hospitals and rural family practices. She returned to Vancouver in 2021 and joined Delbrook Medical Group Clinic in May 2024.

Dr. Leila Abdoulraman

Dr. Leila completed her undergraduate studies at UBC before heading to Ireland in 2011 to study medicine. She graduated from University College Cork in 2016 and completed five years of training in both large multi-disciplinary hospitals and rural family practices. Leila returned to Vancouver in 2022 and joined the Delbrook team in May 2025.

UPDATE: JANUARY 2026

Dr Leila has suspended the online booking platform. This was due to demand exceeding her availability. She is currently booking several weeks in advance.

Due to returning from maternity leave early, Dr Leila will soon be taking time off. This leave is due to begin in mid-February, with a return date not earlier than April 7^th. However, she has organised limited locum coverage during this time: Dr Tommy Finucane is currently taking on patients and has availability, while we have a permanent female locum in the clinic one day per week.

In the medium term, Dr Tommy will have considerably more availability than Dr Leila (Dr Tommy has in-clinic appointments five days a week). To provide regular care, we are asking patients if they would like to move to Dr Tommy. Should there be instances where a female patient would prefer a female doctor, one of the female doctors can assist.
