Meet Dr. Dhanji

Dr. Sarfaraz Dhanji built Magnus around a straightforward idea: a physician can care for you more thoughtfully when he has the time to listen and the continuity to truly know you.

A personal practice by design

Listening is not an extra step. It is where useful care begins.

Dr. Dhanji created Magnus Direct Primary Care to make room for context, conversation, and follow-through—the parts of medicine that are easy to lose when every visit is racing the clock.

His approach begins by listening beyond the first symptom, explaining the reasoning behind a recommendation, and shaping a plan around the person who has to live with it.

Care philosophy

The better he knows you, the more useful each conversation can become.

Over time, prevention, new concerns, family and social context, outside care, and your own goals become one connected health story—not isolated visits.

  1. 01Listen for the full story

    Begin with the history, priorities, and questions that make a recommendation meaningful to you.

  2. 02Explain the plan

    Make room to discuss options, tradeoffs, and what to watch for after the visit.

  3. 03Remember what comes next

    Carry details forward so care can respond to patterns and changes over time.
