Dr. Sadir Alrawi

Director of Surgical Oncology Services
Burjeel Medical City, Abu Dhabi

"was incredibly lucky to have been treated at Al Zahra Private Hospital. Unfortunately I had been there a couple of times before (over the course of 8 years in Dubai) and really felt comfortable and well looked after so was a natural choice for the ordeal I was about to go through. It was upon a routine check-up with family medicine doctor - Dr. Aline that she found a lump in my neck which prompted her to order a series of blood tests and scans. It was her finding that led me to Dr. Sadir in Oncology and his team. I was referred to Dr. Sadir by not one, but two different endocrinologists in the region. When we first met he didn’t know about my medical history as I had made the appointment only an hour beforehand. He walked in and without hesitation, simply by looking at my neck told me I had an approximate golf ball sized tumour on my right thyroid. He then proceeded to look at my scans and was very medically honest and upfront about what he thought - instead of the 15-30% chance I had cancer which is what the endocrinologists would have told me, he said that this is incorrect and it’s about a 70% chance. Naturally I panicked and he calmed me down and reassured me everything was going to be ok. He sent me home with reading material and strict instructions for another ultra sound which was only to be performed by one of two people he wanted in the hospital. I was booked in for surgery a week and a half later. Only during the surgery would we know for sure if I had cancer or not."

Dr. Amr Hussien Mahmoud El Yamany

Specialist Orthopedic Surgeon
Mediclinic Welcare Hospital

"Dr. Amir Hussein made the surgery for my husband, which other doctors denied making, and after 5 months my husband already was able to play the violin again. He explained the necessity of staying in the intensive care unit to DAMAN insurance in Arabic so well, that the medical insurance paid everything itself."

Dr. Linda Yahya Zakkout

Dentist
Tower Clinic

"Dr. Linda is the most polite and knowledgeable of dentists I have ever seen in Dubai. A true human being by all means. She works magic and I have the utmost respect for the way she handles her patients. In the past, I had bad experience to visit dentists but I really enjoyed every minute of being her in heeling hands. She guides her patients through every procedure and her great smile never departs her face. I will be leaving Dubai in few days to Sydney but I will never forget her magic. I strongly recommend her to everyone who has panic to visit a dentist. God Bless her."

Dr. Walter Goriwoda

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
British Dental Clinic

"I had my lower impacted wisdom tooth extracted by Dr Walter, he is very professional and such a nice doctor, during the procedure, he keep telling me what will I feel in the next step and he did the extraction quickly, I had only mild discomfort after the extraction and during recovery, overall it is a much better experience than I thought initially and I would highly recommend Dr Walter to people looking for a professional and friendly surgeon."
