Top 5 Pediatricians in Dubai by reviews in 2017

When families first move to, or give birth in Dubai, finding a qualified pediatrician to care for their children is very important. Families need a good pediatrician to address chicken pox, vaccinations, ear infections, fevers, injuries and other common maladies of childhood. Besides the medical knowledge and expertise, parents are also interested to know more about how caring, open, and trusting the pediatrican is going to be with their children.  Having a good relationship with a pediatrician early on, could carry over to many years of healthy living, and medical experiences later on in life. As we close out 2017, DrFive has analysed our patient reviews and compiled a short list of top pediatricians one could comfortably depend on in Dubai.
