Dr. Abdulkader Hamad

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Abdulkader Hamad actually listened. He asked questions about things no one else had, like specific foods and even my travel history years ago. He ordered some different tests and figured out it was a tricky parasitic infection I must have picked up ages ago. I'm finally on the right treatment and starting to feel like myself. He didn't just give up. (Patient of Dr. Abdulkader)

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But with Dr. Hamad, it was all very straightforward. He explained exactly what he was going to do, the actual removal took maybe ten minutes, and he checked in the next day himself. The whole thing was smoother than getting a tooth filled. Sometimes simple is good. (Patient of Dr. Abdulkader)

The clinic at Burjeel was running late the day of my appointment, which was a bit frustrating. But once I got in, it made sense—Dr. Hamad was clearly spending real time with each person. What stood out, though, was his nurse, Sara. She could see I was anxious waiting and brought me a water, explained the delay again, and just had a really calming way about her. The place feels modern, but it was that human touch that mattered most. (Patient of Dr. Abdulkader)

Look, I don't really like doctors' offices. I get awkward. But Dr. Hamad has this very calm, direct way of talking that puts you at ease. He doesn't sugarcoat things, but he also doesn't talk down to you. When he explained my high blood pressure results, he drew a little diagram on the paper towel to show how the medication would work. It felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That's rare. (Patient of Dr. Abdulkader)
