Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Today, many doctors are bringing back the old practice of visiting patients in their homes. With house calls, older adults don’t have to go through the stress and difficulty of getting to the doctor’s office. And neither do you. Another bonus is that these doctors usually spend more time with patients. You won’t have to fit all your questions into a 15 minute visit. Just remember that housecalls aren’t for emergency situations (call Dubai Emergencies number 999 instead). They’re basically like a regular OPD visit.
