How to Verify a Doctor or Healthcare Professional in Dubai
Verify a Dubai doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional using DHA’s official registry and match the licence to the facility and specialty.
The direct answer
The Dubai Medical Registry is the official public search for licensed healthcare professionals and facilities under DHA. Search the professional’s name and confirm the displayed profession, specialty and facility before treatment, especially when the person was found through advertising or social media.
A practical checklist
1. Search more than one spelling
Enter the full name and try the exact spelling used on the clinic website or appointment record. Use the profession, specialty, language, area or facility filters to narrow a common name.
2. Match the professional to the service
Confirm that the registry entry is for the same person and that the category or specialty fits the treatment offered. Check the facility record separately.
3. Ask about an apparent mismatch
Contact the clinic and request the professional’s licence details if the listing is unclear. Do not send medical records to an unverified personal account.
4. Report a serious concern
For suspected unlicensed practice or a material discrepancy, preserve the advertisement, invoice and appointment details and use DHA’s official complaint or contact channel.
Important: A registry listing confirms licensing information; it is not a personal recommendation, quality ranking or guarantee of a treatment outcome.
Before you act
The registry supports filters for licence type, category, specialty, language, area, facility, nationality and gender. Search results can change, so check close to the appointment date.
