List Of Medieval And Pre-modern Persian Doctors
The following is a non-comprehensive list of Iranian doctors that lived from medieval times up until the beginning of the modern age.

In some cases, their exact ancestry is unclear. They may have emigrated or immigrated, and thus may appear in other "Lists of", but nevertheless their names and work are somehow linked to the words "Iranian" and/or "Persian".

Bukhtishu
