We ve been going to Dr Khan.. but I am not really a big fan of him. For one thing he asked me to supplement my 6 month old DD with formula because it would be too much work for me!!?? Its my second baby and I would KNOW it if it was getting too hard for me.. Anyways thats beside the point.. WE had an AMAZING doctor in Abu hdbai and we are soo tempted to go there.. but DS (4 years) has a very bad cough.. I would lve it if someone would reccomend someone sweet and kind and nice and amazing with kids preferably near jumeirah. I live in ET
DS is being send home from school today and I woud like to take him to the doctor today hopefully. Your quick reply would be appreciated!!

It is so personal...I am not a fan of Dr Rita at Healthbay, but you may like her. I really like Dr sean Petherbridge at Infinity health clinic...he is not a pediatrician though, but a family Doc...we all go to him. I second Sean Petherbridge at Infinity Health as well. Dr Louster is the best he is the main peadritician there. Don't go to the lady peadtrician cause I didn't think much of her. I so agree with you baby rat - really do not like the female ped and would say stay away from her.

mahat, I switched from dr rita to Dr khan and thought dr khan was far better than dr rita (felt rushed with her) however, was going to dr khan for sometime and realised ever time I saw him he was on his blackberry while I was talking. got myself in such a state and worked up . then my second son got sick at 4 wks and was admitted to hospital where Dr Gupta see all in patients for Cooper Clinic. Dr. Gupta is amazing! You can text him whenever, he remembers everyone's name in the family, he caught my first son's anemia. He is great takes his time and is very patient. also, love cooper clinic cause of the midwife Debs she too is fantastic! I agree Dr Gupta fab, very friendly and caring.

Dr Nisha Soares at Al Zahra - available in dubai on saturdays and wednesdays. Unless DD is terrible and needs a hospital i wait until i can see Dr nisha....she just makes everything allright. My DD literally asks for her if we havent seen her for a while!

I don't understand what you mean he asked you to supplement what with formula? Are you sure you didn't misunderstand him? I thought you were meant to start introducing solids at this time, is this what you mean?

I also recommend Dr keith Nicholl, having seen Dr Rita and Dr Loubser also. Dr Loubser is very good but the problem is you can't get in to see him no matter how sick and urgent it is - once the urgent slots are gone, theyre gone. With keith Nicholl if I say DD is really very sick he will see her no matter what - thank you!! He also calls to see how baby/child is doing if they've been really sick when they've come in to see him. However if we keep telling people how wonderful he is he may not be able to squeeze everyone in anymore ;)

DD with Dr Khan and we find him to be very good and always asks me to ring him anytime if there was a problem and always get call back asking how DD is feeling ...Hope you manage to find one in the end?

Dr Rita Healthbay poly clinic. She is amazing, both my children have gone to her from birth and she 's the only Dr i've come across who gave me her mobile and said call me if you need me !! Its generally an office number and if you have a concern out of hours your screwed until you can get an appointment.
