Ear, Nose & Throat Consultation

Most insurance plans in the UAE require a GP referral before seeing an ENT specialist. Self-pay patients can book directly without a referral. If you have insurance, contact your provider to confirm requirements. Our team can help coordinate referrals through our on-site general practitioners, often arranging same-day ENT appointments after the GP visit to save you time and an extra trip.

Bring your Emirates ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, and any previous test results such as hearing tests, CT scans of sinuses, or blood work. If you have been seen by another ENT or GP, bring their notes or reports. A symptom diary noting when problems occur, their severity, and any triggers can help your specialist make an accurate diagnosis more efficiently during your consultation.

Initial ENT consultations are typically 30 to 45 minutes, allowing thorough history-taking, physical examination, and discussion of findings. Follow-up visits usually take 15 to 20 minutes. If additional procedures such as nasal endoscopy or hearing tests are performed during the visit, the total appointment time may extend to 60 minutes. We schedule adequate time to ensure you receive comprehensive care without feeling rushed.

In most cases, yes. We have on-site audiometry equipment and can frequently perform hearing assessments during your ENT visit. This allows your specialist to combine the hearing test results with their clinical examination for a comprehensive evaluation. If you suspect hearing loss, let us know when booking so we can allocate sufficient time. Results are provided immediately with expert interpretation by your ENT doctor.

Yes, our ENT specialists treat patients of all ages, including infants, children, and adolescents. Common pediatric ENT conditions we manage include recurrent ear infections, glue ear, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, sleep-disordered breathing, and allergic rhinitis. Our doctors are experienced in working with young patients and use age-appropriate examination techniques to ensure a comfortable experience for both children and parents.

Nasal endoscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible fiber-optic scope is gently inserted into the nose to visualize the nasal passages, sinuses, and nasopharynx in detail. It helps diagnose sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, tumors, and sources of nosebleeds. The procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes, causes minimal discomfort, and is performed in the clinic without any special preparation. A local anesthetic spray may be used for comfort.

We treat a wide range of ENT conditions including acute and chronic ear infections, hearing loss, tinnitus, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, tonsillitis, voice disorders, snoring, sleep apnea, vertigo, and throat infections. We also evaluate neck lumps, swollen lymph nodes, and salivary gland problems. Our on-site diagnostic capabilities allow us to diagnose and begin treatment for most conditions during your first visit.

Dubai's hot, dry climate combined with heavy air conditioning use creates conditions that commonly affect the ears, nose, and throat. Frequent transitions between extreme outdoor heat and cold indoor environments can dry nasal passages, worsen sinusitis, and trigger allergic rhinitis. Dust and sandstorms contribute to nasal congestion and allergies. Swimming in pools can cause outer ear infections. Our ENT specialists understand these regional factors and provide practical advice for prevention alongside treatment.
