How to Check a Clinic or Practitioner Licence in Dubai

If you are planning an appointment with a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulated clinic, use the public Dubai Medical Registry to look up both the facility and the practitioner. Ask the clinic for its registered name and the full name of the person who will treat you. A clinic’s brand name and its registered name may differ.

Look up the facility first

Open the Dubai Medical Registry and select Facilities. Search the facility name the clinic provided. Compare the details available in the result with the address where you have been asked to attend. If the business has several locations, ask which facility is responsible for your appointment.

If the first search returns nothing, ask the clinic for the official spelling or licence details and try the registry again. The directory covers DHA facilities and professionals. If the clinic says it is regulated by a different authority, ask for that authority’s name and its official verification route.

Check the person who will provide the treatment

Switch to Professionals and search the clinician’s full name. Check the role or specialty and facility details where the registry provides them. A similar name can belong to someone else. Ask the clinic to confirm who will perform each step and who will be available if you have a problem afterwards.

• Ask who will assess whether the procedure is suitable for you.
• Ask which clinician will carry it out and at which address.
• Ask who will provide follow-up or handle an urgent concern after your visit.

Clarify differences before you book

If a result seems inconsistent, ask for an explanation and contact the relevant authority through its official channels if needed. Save the official link or reference details so you can check again before your appointment. You can then discuss the procedure itself, including alternatives, risks, total cost and the follow-up plan.
