Orthopedic surgeons and traumatologists for hospitals, day-surgery centres, sports clinics and multi-speciality clinics in Dubai. This is the specialty where the facility decides what the doctor can do: an operating theatre, imaging, implant suppliers, anaesthesia cover and a physiotherapy team. We check the licensed title, the surgical sub-specialty and how the doctor works with that setup.
Hire a orthopedic surgeonLooking for a job?An orthopedic surgeon whose sub-specialty matches your case mix and whose surgical privileges your facility can actually support.
An orthopedic surgeon in Dubai practises under the title DHA assigns from the qualification and experience. Specialist and consultant are different titles, and surgical privileges are granted by the facility on top of the licence.
Surgeons already licensed in Dubai can start much faster through a licence transfer. A clinic without an operating theatre can hire for consultations, injections, casting and follow-up, and agree a partner hospital for surgery; say so at the start, because it changes who we look for.
| Level | Salary, AED/month |
|---|---|
| Specialist orthopedic surgeon | 40,000 - 60,000 |
| Consultant orthopedic surgeon | 60,000 - 95,000+ |
| Surgeon with own patient base | fixed plus revenue share |
Market estimate; it varies by facility, sub-specialty, experience and the fixed-versus-commission model. Joint replacement, spine and sports surgery sit higher. In hospitals the pay is often a lower fixed part plus a share of surgical revenue.
Besides the salary, the employer covers the work permit and residence visa, medical test, Emirates ID and mandatory health insurance. By UAE law these costs cannot be deducted from the employee's pay.
Exact visa and insurance costs depend on company category, emirate and plan. See the full cost of hiring guide or ask us for a budget for your case.
