How We Rank Orthopedic Surgery Doctors

The orthopedic surgery ranking is based on facility size as reported in the DHA Sheryan Medical Registry. Doctors at larger the UAE healthcare regulator-registered facilities are ranked higher because larger institutions typically maintain stricter credentialing, multi-disciplinary peer review committees, and JCI/CBAHI accreditation standards.

Only FTL (Full-Time License) holders are included. This ensures the ranking reflects dedicated, full-time orthopedic surgery practitioners rather than part-time registrations or visiting privileges.

This methodology avoids the unreliability of subjective patient reviews and the bias of paid placements. It instead relies on verifiable institutional data from the UAE healthcare regulator (Dubai).
