What is a doctor at home in Dubai?
A doctor at home in Dubai is a licensed doctor who visits you at your apartment, villa or hotel instead of you going to a clinic. The doctor listens to your symptoms, checks you, and explains the treatment or the next step. To book, call +971 55 628 2476, share your location and symptoms, and confirm the visit details with our team. For very urgent cases, read about our urgent doctor on call service.

Everyday illness, checked on your sofa
Most people call a home doctor for common problems that make travel hard. Here is what the doctor can usually look at during a visit.
Fever and flu
High temperature, chills, body aches and feeling very tired. The doctor looks for the cause and tells you how to recover safely.
Cough, cold and sore throat
A cough that will not go away, a blocked nose, a painful throat or ear pain. Many of these can be checked at home.
Stomach upset
Nausea, vomiting, loose stools or stomach pain. The doctor checks for dehydration. See our guide on food poisoning in Dubai.
Skin rash and allergy
Rashes, itching, insect bites and mild allergic reactions. Swelling of the face or throat is an emergency: call 998.
Dehydration and IV fluids
If you are badly dehydrated, the doctor may decide IV fluids are right for you. It is a medical decision, never an automatic add-on.
Blood tests
Ask if a home sample can be taken for the test you need, or if you must visit a lab.
Small wounds
Small cuts and minor wounds. Deep cuts or heavy bleeding need hospital care.
Medicine and certificates
If you need it, the doctor can write a prescription and a medical certificate for work.
Next steps and referral
Need an X-ray, scan or specialist? The doctor tells you exactly where to go next.
Good to know: a home visit does not replace hospital care. We cannot do X-rays, scans or surgery at your door. If a problem is serious, the doctor will guide you to the right hospital.
Made for people who can’t or don’t want to travel when unwell
Parents with a sick child
Children rest better in their own bed. No car seat, no waiting room, no extra germs.
Older family members
When walking is hard, a home visit is calmer and safer than a long trip.
Tourists and hotel guests
New food and strong heat can make visitors ill. Call from your room. Read our medical help guide for tourists.

Skip the traffic and see a doctor after work, or between meetings at home.

Doctor at home vs clinic vs emergency room
Not every problem needs the same kind of care. This quick table shows the difference.
| Doctor at home | Clinic visit | Hospital emergency room | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where care happens | Your home, villa or hotel room | At the clinic | At the hospital |
| Travel and waiting | No travel, no waiting room | You travel and may wait | You travel (or ambulance) and may wait |
| Best for | Mild to moderate illness, children, older adults, visitors | Routine visits and check-ups | Severe or life-threatening problems |
| X-ray and scans | Not at your door | Sometimes on site | Yes |
| Emergencies | No. Call 998 | No | Yes |

Ask our team for the full amount before you confirm. A good service tells you the price first.

How fast can a doctor reach my home?
The time depends on your area, traffic and the time of day. When you call, the team gives you an expected arrival time so you know what to plan for.
How much does a doctor at home cost in Dubai?
The price depends on the time of the visit, your location, the type of consultation, and any tests, medicines or treatment. Ask the team for the full amount before you confirm so there are no surprises.
Can a doctor visit me at a hotel in Dubai?
Yes. You can ask for a visit at your hotel room or serviced apartment. Give the hotel name, the room number and a phone number. Our guide for tourists explains what to do step by step.
Can the doctor give medicine and a sick note?
When the doctor decides it is needed after checking you, they can write a prescription and a medical certificate. Ask the team if you need paperwork for work or for an insurance claim.
Can a doctor at home treat my child?
Many common child illnesses, like fever, cough and stomach upset, can be checked at home. Tell the team your child’s age and symptoms when you call so they can confirm the right visit. Babies under 3 months with a fever need urgent in-person care.
Can I get a blood test at home?
Home sample collection may be possible for some tests. Ask the team which test you need and whether it can be done at your door or needs a lab visit.
When should I not book a doctor at home?
Do not wait for a home visit if there is chest pain, severe trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, heavy bleeding, a seizure or loss of consciousness. Call 998 for an ambulance in Dubai straight away.
Will my insurance pay for a home visit?
Cover is different for every plan. Check with your insurer first, and ask our team for a clear invoice and visit report so you can submit a claim if your plan allows it.
