Acid Reflux & GERD care in Downtown Dubai, done properly.
Heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough or a lump in the throat — most reflux can be controlled without a lifetime of PPIs. We investigate H. pylori, adjust treatment properly and refer for endoscopy when needed. For patients in Downtown Dubai, that means real continuity — one named GP, home visits when you need them, and bloods drawn at your address by a DHA-licensed nurse.
Why Downtown Dubai patients choose Aafiyah
From Burj Khalifa residences to the apartments around Dubai Mall and Opera District, Downtown Dubai is one of our busiest home visit areas. A British-trained doctor can typically reach you within 60–90 minutes, whether you're dealing with a sudden fever, need blood tests before a work trip, or want a proper health check without the wait times of a hospital. We also regularly see guests staying at Downtown hotels — if you've fallen ill on holiday or during a business trip, our doctors can come to your room, assess you properly, and arrange prescriptions directly with the hotel pharmacy.

FAQs from Downtown Dubai patients
Should I be on a PPI long-term?
+
Not necessarily. Many patients can step down or stop with the right lifestyle work and H. pylori eradication. We review properly rather than just repeat the prescription.
When do you refer for endoscopy?
+
Alarm symptoms (weight loss, swallowing difficulty, anaemia, persistent vomiting, or failure to respond to 8 weeks of treatment in patients over 55) trigger a same-week gastroenterology referral.
Can you visit my home in Downtown Dubai?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Downtown Dubai, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for acid reflux & gerd are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
