How We Rank Family Medicine Doctors
The family medicine ranking is based on facility size as reported in the Sheryan Medical Registry: the number of professionals licensed at the facility that holds each doctor's licence. Doctors at facilities with more licensed staff are listed first. Facility size is not a measure of a doctor's skill or results; the register holds no outcome data or patient reviews.
Only FTL (Full-time License) holders are included: family medicine professionals with an active full-time licence at a named Dubai facility. Registered Only (REG) professionals hold no facility licence and cannot practise until a facility activates one, so they are left out, as are the few part-time (PTL) and trainee (TRL) licences.
No paid placements and no review scores are used. The order comes only from the public register data.

What is the best hospital for family medicine in Dubai?
Based on staff count, Nadd Al Hammar Medical Center - PHC has the largest family medicine department in Dubai with 52 licensed family medicine professionals on staff, followed by Al Barsha Medical Center - PHC (41 staff).
How are the best family medicine doctors in Dubai ranked?
Family Medicine doctors are listed in order of the size of the facility that holds their licence, measured by the number of professionals licensed there on the Sheryan Medical Registry. That is an ordering by facility size, not a measure of clinical quality: the register carries no outcome data and no patient reviews. Only doctors with a full-time licence (FTL) are included, and there are no paid placements.
What is the difference between a family medicine specialist and consultant?
Both are licence titles under the unified UAE Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR), which DHA applies in Dubai. A Family Medicine Specialist holds a recognised specialty qualification and needs no further experience if it is graded Tier 1 or Tier 2. A Family Medicine Consultant needs 2 years of experience after a Tier 1 qualification or 5 years after Tier 2, and a Tier 3 qualification cannot lead to the Consultant title. The register lists the two titles separately.
How do I verify a family medicine doctor's license in Dubai?
You can verify any family medicine doctor's licence through the Sheryan portal run by Dubai's health regulator. Search by doctor name or licence number to confirm their licence status, specialty, and current facility affiliation. The 1,088 family medicine professionals listed here come from the Sheryan Medical Registry.
