Digestive complaints can be uncomfortable to talk about, and Dr. Roula Saade builds her consultations around making that conversation easier. As a Consultant in Gastroenterology at Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai, she spends her days working through conditions such as gastritis, reflux, ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, alongside liver, bile duct and pancreatic disorders. Preventative work matters just as much to her: colonoscopy and gastroscopy allow her to catch problems early, while a particular interest in celiac disease and food intolerances helps patients finally make sense of symptoms they have lived with for years. Her proctology training means hemorrhoids, fissures and rectal pain are handled with the same calm attention. She completed her internal medicine and gastroenterology specialization at Saint Joseph University in Beirut, then added hepatic intensive care at Université Paris Sud, interventional endoscopy and celiac research in Paris, and proctology at Saint Joseph Hospital. Ten years into practice, she consults in Arabic, English and French.
