FAQs from Palm Jumeirah patients
What is a healthy cholesterol level?
+
For most adults, target LDL is under 3.0 mmol/L; under 1.8 if you already have cardiovascular disease or diabetes. We personalise targets based on your overall risk.
Do I really need a statin?
+
Not always. If your 10-year cardiovascular risk is below 10% we usually try lifestyle first. Above that, the evidence for statins is excellent and we explain the trade-offs honestly.
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 high cholesterol are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
