Acid Reflux & GERD care in Palm Jumeirah, done properly.
Palm Jumeirah residents living with acid reflux & gerd deserve more than a 6-minute slot and a prescription. 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.
Why Palm Jumeirah patients choose Aafiyah
Whether you live on Palm Jumeirah or you're staying at one of its hotels, getting proper medical care without leaving your villa or suite matters. Our doctors and nurses regularly visit Palm Jumeirah for everything from urgent same-day consultations to scheduled blood tests and IV therapy for jet lag or dehydration after a long journey. For residents, we also support ongoing care — including elderly family members — with the same team and same named GP each time, so there's no need to repeat your history with someone new.

FAQs from Palm Jumeirah 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 Palm Jumeirah?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Palm Jumeirah, 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.
