Family Doctors – who are they and what do they do?

With so many different specialists, patients can often be confused about who to see when a medical issue or concern arises. Unless it’s an emergency, a family doctor (also known as a family medicine specialist or GP/General practitioner) will traditionally be your first port of call.

To help you get a better understanding of what a family medicine specialist can do for you, take a look at the infographic below!

Written by Dr. Kiran Bindra

An accomplished family doctor and an alumna of University College London and Glasgow University, Dr Kiran Bindra is the first port of call for all medical concerns. Beyond general medicine, she has specific knowledge in the fields of dermatology and psychiatry. A GP in the UK before moving to Dubai, Dr Bindra also has experience in managing general paediatric care, and has a special interest in obstetrics and gynaecology having completed her DRCOG.

This was the best experience I have ever had going to the dentist. The process was so very easy and all the staff are just wonderful and helpful. Dr. Yousef was really great. I went for a cleaning and she was just lovely and made me feel extremely comfortable. It was quite fast and didn't feel any pain. I laughed quite a lot. I definitely recommend The All England Practice and I will be coming for other treatments.

Hands down the best clinic I've been to in Dubai. It's amazing how knowledgable each person is there and the fact that they well care of you AFTER treatments (not a given in Dubai to say the least) is a huge plus. The clinic in itself is also stunning so you instantly feel at ease and uplifted

Great experience with Dr Alavi. Its really comforting to know that your Doctor has been trained and worked in the US, no corners are cut, x-rays are carried out and everything was super professional with time was taken to explain next steps. I am going back and recommend to all my work colleagues and friends to go there.

I am from holland and needed to visit the dentist here in dubai. Wow what a professional clinic! The lady from the desk was so helpful and dr. Reza is a very kind and professional dentist who took the time to help me and explained me a lot about the condition of my teeth’s. He made pictures and after he cleaned my teeth’s. No whitening needed because after the cleaning treatment my teeth’s looked very clean and white!! I can set recommend this clinic! Very good!

First dentists visit in Dubai and it was so easy and relaxing. The fact that they do all the insurance paperwork and claim directly is a bonus too

Many people don’t like visiting the dentist. Clearly they haven’t been to Dr Rez. With mixed experiences of the Dubai medical system I put off a visit to the dentist for two years. I’m so glad I went to see Dr Rez on a friend’s recommendation. US trained Dr Rez instantly put me at ease with his friendly professional manner and great advice. I was so happy with the service I went back a second time for a teeth whitening and am amazed with the results.

Great experience with the dentist Dr. Alavi, super professional, every step was explain and post treatment recommendations were given. Very happy about the results. You also get Netflix shows on the screen in the ceiling while doctor is working on your teeth, the clinic has one of the best facilities I have seen in Dubai.
