Patients dealing with hip, knee or shoulder trouble often want two things: a clear explanation of what is wrong and a plan they can trust. Dr. Riad Rifaat Fakih, a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai, has spent 23 years providing exactly that. His approach begins with careful assessment, followed by honest discussion of the options, whether the problem is a sports injury, joint wear, or trauma to bone and joints. Surgery is never the first answer if something else will work, but when it is needed, his training makes him a strong choice. He holds qualifications from the American University of Beirut and fellowships in joint replacement and reconstruction from the Royal Orthopedic Hospital Birmingham and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He also serves as Clinical Professor of Orthopedic at Beirut Arab University. Consultations are available in Arabic, English and French.
