Below we explain what a home doctor can treat, how fast a doctor reaches you, what the visit costs and what the fee covers, how to book, which areas and hotels we cover, who our doctors are, and when you should go to a hospital instead.
What is a doctor on call service?
A doctor on call, or home visit doctor, is a general practitioner (GP) who comes to you instead of you going to a clinic. The doctor examines you, makes a diagnosis, gives treatment and medicines, and writes a prescription or certificate if you need one. It suits people who feel too unwell to travel, parents with a sick child, older people, and visitors staying in a hotel.

We visit hotel rooms across Dubai for the same price. Give us your hotel name and room number, or ask reception or the concierge to call us. See doctor at your hotel.
Timing
When should you call 998 instead?
Call 998 for an ambulance, or go straight to a hospital emergency department, for chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, a seizure, heavy bleeding, a severe allergic reaction, a serious head injury or loss of consciousness. A home doctor visit is for problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening. If our doctor finds something more serious during a visit, they will help you get to hospital.
