How to see a private GP in Dubai.
Self-referral, direct booking, no gatekeeper. Here's the actual process, and what to bring.
Booking, step by step
- WhatsApp or call the clinic and describe the issue in one line.
- Choose in-clinic (Business Bay) or a home visit to your address.
- Pick a slot — same or next day for most non-urgent issues.
- Send Emirates ID and insurance card (if using) in advance.
- Arrive (or be ready) 5 minutes early.
What to bring
Emirates ID, insurance card, current medication list with doses, recent blood or imaging results, and photos of any skin or wound issue taken over recent days. A short written timeline helps too — when it started, what makes it better or worse.
After the appointment
You leave with a written plan, prescription (if needed), lab requests and a follow-up option. Bloods can be drawn during the same visit and results reviewed by phone or telemedicine within 24–48 hours.
FAQs
How do I see a private GP in Dubai?+
Book directly — most Dubai private GPs, including Aafiyah, accept self-referral. WhatsApp or call, describe the issue, choose clinic or home visit, and pick a slot. Bring your Emirates ID and any recent test results. No referral letter is needed.
What should I bring to the appointment?+
Emirates ID, insurance card if using it, any recent blood or imaging results, and a list of current medications and doses. If the issue is a rash or wound, photos taken over recent days help the doctor see the timeline.
Can I use my insurance for a private GP?+
Most Dubai insurers cover private GP consultations at approved clinics. Aafiyah is not insurance-based — we issue a claim-ready, fully coded invoice for reimbursement. Confirm coverage with your insurer before the appointment to avoid surprises.
How do I get a follow-up?+
For the same issue within 14 days, follow-ups are usually by telemedicine (AED 250) — quick, secure and no travel. For a longer review or a new complaint, book a fresh consultation. WhatsApp is the fastest channel.

"Same-day doctor at home in Downtown Dubai — genuinely arrived when they said they would. Slight wait for the WhatsApp reply but the clinical care itself was excellent."
"Booked a home doctor visit at 11pm for my son's fever — GP arrived in Business Bay within 40 minutes, calm, thorough, and prescribed exactly what was needed. Notes and follow-up landed the same night."
