A Wonderful Doctor
I highly recommend Dr Ahmed El Rafei. My only regret is that I didnt find him sooner. Following 3.5 months of terrible experiences with other Drs at multiple major hospitals around Dubai, I finally feel like I found a kind, caring, experienced and capable Dr to treat my Covid triggered Urticaria. Dr Ahmed El Rafei gave me a lot of his time in which he was very focused while listening to my medical summary. He spent time reviewing each and every blood test result I had over the last 3.5 months - there were A LOT. He reviewed countless photos of my urticaria breakouts since January as well as examined the hives flaring on my skin when I went to see him. He asked very relevant questions after which he explained my condition to me in a way I could understand. He explained the medications, what they each do their potential side effects. When I expressed concern about 1, he found alternatives without hesitation. He was patient, kind, caring and made me feel like Im finally under the care of an accomplished, smart and wonderful Doctor.
