FAQs from Dubai Festival City patients
Is mental-health care confidential in Dubai?
+
Your consultation with us is private and we do not share details with your employer or family without your written consent. As a DHA-licensed clinic we are legally required to upload clinical records to NABIDH (the Dubai unified health record), where other licensed UAE healthcare providers — and in some cases insurers with NABIDH access rights — may be able to view them.
Will I be put on medication straight away?
+
Not usually. We discuss what's driving the low mood, screen for medical causes, and only prescribe when clinically appropriate — therapy is often the first step.
Can you visit my home in Dubai Festival City?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Dubai Festival City, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for depression are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
