How We Rank General Practitioner Doctors
The general practitioner 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: general practitioner 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 general practitioner in Dubai?
Based on staff count, Aster Hospital has the largest general practitioner department in Dubai with 60 licensed general practitioner professionals on staff, followed by Saudi German Hospital (51 staff).
How are the best general practitioner doctors in Dubai ranked?
General Practitioner 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 general practitioner specialist and consultant?
Both are licence titles under the unified UAE Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR), which DHA applies in Dubai. A General Practitioner Specialist holds a recognised specialty qualification and needs no further experience if it is graded Tier 1 or Tier 2. A General Practitioner 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 general practitioner doctor's license in Dubai?
You can verify any general practitioner 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 6,921 general practitioner professionals listed here come from the Sheryan Medical Registry.
