Hi Tashy, Hope you'll enjoying here. I'm living in abu dhabi for 9 years, and have loved every minute. There is no "family doctor" concept in Abu Dhabi, but there are a few clinics where you can see a generalist like the Health Plus Clinic http://www.hplus.ae/en/home.aspx and the Harley Street http://www.hsmc.ae/. They have all sorts of doctors also. As soon as you have your insurance from your employer (or your husband, depending on who is sponsoring you), you have a lot of the services for free. You need to pay usually only 50 AED for consultation and then maybe some 5-10% for medication. If you do not have insurance, consulations start at 200-250 AED depending on doctor and clinic. I have my OBGYN in Seha Emirates hospital http://www.sehaemirates.com/ - she delivered my daughter and she is excellent. For dentist, there is an excellent doctor, Amy, in Ibn Sina Clinic http://www.ibnsinauae.com/. For vaccines, go to the local hospitals - any Seha clinic will do the vaccines for free, as soon as you have a residence visa and a permanent accommodation (with twtheeq - authorization from municipality - this needs to be provided by your landlord). all the best ;)
