Medical Disclaimer

General information only

Every page on this site is written for education. Conditions, symptoms and procedures are described in general terms and cannot account for your specific diagnosis, imaging, medical history, medication or circumstances.

Two people with the same diagnosis may need different treatment. Nothing here should be used to decide for or against an operation.

No doctor-patient relationship

Reading this website, submitting the enquiry form or corresponding by email does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only after a formal consultation at Healthpoint Hospital.

Submitting an enquiry does not confirm an appointment. An appointment exists only once the clinic has contacted you and confirmed it.

Do not delay seeking care

Do not disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you have read here.

Emergencies

This website and its enquiry form are not monitored continuously and must never be used for urgent problems.

Seek immediate medical attention for severe pain, a joint that cannot bear weight, obvious deformity, a hot swollen joint with fever, chest pain, breathlessness, or new calf pain and swelling. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance or 999 for police, or attend your nearest emergency department.

Outcomes are not guaranteed

Any recovery timescales mentioned are typical ranges, not promises. Surgical and non-surgical treatments carry risks, and outcomes vary between individuals. Risks relevant to you will be discussed during consultation and before consent.

External links and reviews

Links to other organisations are provided for convenience. Their content is not controlled or endorsed here.

Patient review scores shown on this site are published by independent platforms and reflect their figures at the time of writing.
