Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"I couldn’t be happier with the care we have received for my father in law from Dr. Sanad (orthopedic surgeon) and his nurse (sr. Asma Jallad). They are both extremely professional, thorough, and attentive. The doctor takes the time to explain treatment options and progress, and the nurse is always kind and helpful. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality orthopedic care."

"I recently had a pleasure of receiving exceptional care at Sheik Khalifa Medical City. The staff from the front desk to nurses and doctors, were all incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional. They went above the beyond to ensure my comfort and well-being during my stay 🥹🤍 The facilities were clean and modern, and the food was surprisingly delicious! I want to give a special shout out to Doctor Lhab Almagdub and to the nurses whos asign to take care of me (I forgot their names) for their outstanding care and dedication. 🤗 The truly made difficult experience more manageable. I would highly recommend Sheikh Khalifa Medical City to anyone need of medical care. Salute! 🫡"
"The doctors are very professional and accommodating but I paid 70aed on my first visit for consultation only and separate payment for the medicine. The staff handling appointments are not managing it properly, twice they schedule my appointment and in the end they reschedule it after 2 weeks and It was not appropriate to say that because we only have Daman Basic insurance, our appointment could simply be reschedule since Sunday is the only day available for us."
