Orthopedic Consultation sa Dubai

Bring your Emirates ID or passport, insurance card, a list of current medications, and any previous X-rays, MRI scans, CT reports, or surgical records related to your condition. If you have imaging on CD or digital files, bring those as well. This information helps our orthopedic surgeon assess your history thoroughly and avoid unnecessary repeat tests, leading to a more efficient and productive consultation.

X-rays are commonly ordered to evaluate bone alignment, fractures, joint space narrowing, and degenerative changes. Our clinic has on-site digital X-ray equipment, so if imaging is needed, it can be completed during your visit with results available immediately. Not every patient requires X-rays.
