Dr Arthur Williams is the most recommended sports medicine specialist

Dr Arthur Williams is one of the most recommended sports medicine specialists and family medicine physicians with 'Excellent(5.0)' rating out of 23 reviews (as of 26 Nov 2018).

Dr Williams was born in South Africa and came to Dubai about 4 years ago.

Two aspects that best describe him

Two aspects that best describe him - from patient reviews - were "conservative approach" and "being socially intelligent".

According to Dr Williams, almost 80% of pain cases can be treated 'conservatively' or without surgery. His treatment recipe combines chiropractic, physiotherapy, regenerative medicine, natural supplements as well as natural healing, as per the specific condition and requirements of the patients.

His 'social intelligence' can be translated into his capability to understand patients' situation and communicate the boundary of possible outcomes from early on.

On 'being active'

As a message to Dubai and Middle East residents, the sports medicine specialist emphasizes the importance of 'being active'. By being physically active, one can expect to see holistic transformation of a person. Triggers initiating the active lifestyle could be different by an individual's lifestyle and personality, but once you start to get active, you will find that you enjoy it more and more.

Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic

Dubai

His clinic, Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic (or DISC), is founded on 3 principles: multi-disciplinary integration, being natural, and surgery as last resort.

The clinic tries to find the optimum combination of treatment options according to a patient's needs and condition. Be it regenerative medicine treatment or physical engagement training, the clinic will try to find the best combination of the treatments for you.

They also believe that the best healing can be found from the nature. Nothing can replace the natural healing time. Treatment is a holistic recovery process including inter-personal relationship and understanding.

Finally, they try to turn to surgery only as the last option. Conservative approach comes first. But if you still need surgery, they will ensure you are well prepared for that.

Visiting Dr Williams at Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic was a pleasant experience. Flowers, brick shelves and half-visible wooden walls welcome the visitors and soothe the anxiety of the patients. The friendliness of the staff was well expressed on their confident smiles.
