Hire an ENT doctor in Dubai

ENT doctors (otolaryngologists) for family clinics, polyclinics, multi-speciality centres and hospitals in Dubai. ENT is a high-volume outpatient specialty with many children and many repeat visits, so the doctor's speed, patience and comfort with endoscopy matter as much as the diploma. We check the licensed title, the hands-on procedures and how the doctor handles a child in the chair.

Who we help you hire

An ENT doctor who keeps a busy outpatient list moving, handles children calmly and knows exactly which cases to refer for surgery.

Licensing for ENT doctors (DHA)

An ENT doctor in Dubai practises under the title DHA assigns from the qualification and experience. Specialist and consultant are different titles, and what the doctor does in your facility, from office procedures to day surgery, depends on the facility as well.

1
DataFlow (PSV): primary source verification of the medical degree, the otolaryngology qualification, previous licences and work experience.
2
Eligibility check: the documents are checked against the current DHA requirements to see which title the doctor can get.
3
Assessment: an exam or interview may be required depending on the qualification, the country of training and the title.
4
Licence and facility: the licence is activated under your clinic or hospital; procedures are agreed within the scope the regulator allows.

ENT doctors already licensed in Dubai can start much faster through a licence transfer. A clinic that only does consultations needs a different profile from one with a small theatre for tonsil, adenoid or sinus surgery, so describe your equipment before the search starts.
