How doctor profiles work on MediFinder
MediFinder lists doctors across the UAE to help patients find care. This page explains where the information on a doctor profile comes from, what the labels on it mean, and how doctors can keep their profile accurate.
Where the information comes from
Doctor profiles are built from publicly available information, such as clinic and hospital websites and public professional listings, together with details submitted by the providers themselves. We work to keep this information accurate and up to date, but it may not always be complete or current.
What the labels on a profile mean
A profile may show a doctor specialty and sub-specialty, their career stage (for example Specialist or Consultant), years of experience, languages spoken, and the conditions they commonly treat. These are factual descriptors drawn from the sources above, and they describe a doctor stated professional background. They are not a score, a ranking, or a rating of clinical quality.
What a MediFinder listing is not
MediFinder does not rank, rate, or score doctors by clinical quality, and being listed on MediFinder is not an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of any doctor or clinic. Before booking care, confirm a practitioner licence directly with the relevant UAE health authority (the DHA in Dubai, the DOH in Abu Dhabi, or the MOHAP elsewhere in the UAE), and make medical decisions together with a qualified healthcare professional.
For doctors and clinics: claim or correct your profile
If you are a doctor, or you manage a clinic or hospital, you can claim your profile to review the information shown and keep it accurate. Corrections are free, and if something on a profile is wrong or out of date, claiming the profile is the fastest way to fix it. Verified profiles, which confirm a provider professional licence, are being rolled out as part of this process.
