Common questions about general practitioners in Dubai

How do I find the best general practitioner in Dubai?

Here "best" comes close to meaning "always the same one". A GP is worth having because they know your history, so a practice that hands you to whoever is free each time removes most of that value. Ask whether you can always book the same doctor, and whether the clinic handles insurance pre-approvals for you.

Should I see a GP first or go straight to a specialist?

If you are not sure which specialty your problem belongs to, a GP is the more sensible starting point. On top of that, some insurers will not cover a specialist visit without a GP referral.

Can a GP issue a sick note?

Licensed medical facilities can issue sick leave certificates. Mention when you call that you need one, so they can tell you the process and required documents from the start.

How do I get a repeat prescription?

Bring your previous prescription or a photo of the medication box. For long-term medication a short consultation is usually needed so the doctor can review how you are doing before renewing it.
