When it's time

  • An injury that hasn't healed as expected
  • A replacement or spine surgery recommendation to validate

What happens

  2. 2Review of the records and imaging you brought
  3. 3Tests ordered where needed (billed separately as a rule)
  4. 4A working diagnosis and treatment options discussed
  5. 5A written plan — and an itemized quote if treatment is proposed

What to bring

  • Passport & travel insurance details
  • Recent scans and imaging (disc or digital link)
  • Lab results and current medication list
  • Referral letters or prior treatment summaries, translated to English

How to vet a hand surgeon

Modeled preview

Credentials and case volume decide outcomes more than the consultation fee — the checklist an expert would put to any candidate.

  1. 1Board certification in this specialty — which board, which year?
  2. 2How many cases like mine do you see per year?
  3. 3Do you work within a hospital that can handle complications?
  4. 4Who covers follow-up questions after I fly home?
  5. 5Is the consultation fee credited against treatment if I proceed?

Verify the doctor — before you book

Sourced
Official registry
Three emirate-level regulators licence physicians — Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in Dubai, the Department of Health (DoH) in Abu Dhabi, and the federal Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) for the northern emirates. A licence from one authority does not carry to another emirate. · DHA 'Sheryan' portal (services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan) — public 'Verify Professional License/Registration Status' search by name, licence number or specialisation, returning full name, specialisation, licence type (Consultant/Specialist/GP), status (Active/Suspended/Revoked) and registered facility; Abu Dhabi uses the DoH portal (doh.gov.ae via the TAMM platform), northern emirates use MOHAP (mohap.gov.ae)
What it shows

Hospitals name your doctor when they quote — run that name through the registry. We cite the official body only, never rank individuals.

Doctors are hospital attributes in our registry — never ranked or reviewed as individuals. Vet the person, choose through the hospital.

United Arab Emirates for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa

Sourced Full United Arab Emirates guide →

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

Visa
Many Western nationalities (US, UK, EU, Australia, Canada) get a free visa on arrival for 30–90 days; from 2026 tourist-visa approvals in Dubai are processed in ~48 hours, and visa-on-arrival eligibility was expanded to six more nationalities (Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya, South Africa). Confirm your nationality's rule before travelling.
Medical / long-stay visa
For treatment, foreign patients use a Medical Visa — an entry permit sponsored by a licensed UAE hospital (fees: AED 200 for a 90-day single entry, AED 500 for 180 days), typically covering ~30 days of initial treatment and extendable on medical documentation. Hospitals in Dubai Healthcare City, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and American Hospital Dubai coordinate approvals directly with the GDRFA.
Arrival
There is no digital arrival card; entry is via the visa/visa-on-arrival stamp. Residents (not short-stay medical visitors) must hold an Emirates ID.
Currency
UAE Dirham (AED, د.إ) — pegged at ~3.67 to the US dollar
Languages
Arabic is the official language; English is the working language of business and healthcare, and international hospitals operate in English with multilingual staff
Traveller safety
Very safe for visitors
Legal recourse
Established malpractice recourse
Insurance
Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
International patients
Hospitals accustomed to international patients
