Doctor: Dr. Al-Halwaji Al-Tantawi Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

My father was admitted with severe abdominal pain, and we were all very worried. Dr. Al-Tantawi was the one who saw him. He explained everything to us in simple terms, what the scans showed and what the next steps were. He didn't rush us, answered all our questions, and even called me directly with an update after the procedure. The care was very good, and my dad is home now, recovering well. We felt looked after.

Doctor: Dr. Al-Halwaji Al-Tantawi Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

Took my wife in. She'd been feeling unwell for weeks, and our local clinic couldn't figure it out. Dr. Al-Tantawi at Burjeel listened, asked a lot of questions, and ordered some specific tests. He was direct about the possibilities, which I appreciated—no sugarcoating. It turned out to be a thyroid issue. He laid out the treatment plan clearly. We're managing it now. Parking was a hassle that day, but the doctor himself was efficient and knew his stuff. (Patient of Dr. Al-Halwaji)

Doctor: Dr. Al-Halwaji Al-Tantawi Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

Our young son had a high fever that wouldn't break. In the emergency room, Dr. Al-Tantawi was so calm with him. He spoke softly to my boy, explaining each little thing he was doing before he did it. He was just as gentle with us, the nervous parents, telling us what to watch for. It made a scary situation much easier. The diagnosis was straightforward, but the way he handled it made all the difference. We left feeling reassured. (Patient of Dr. Al-Halwaji)

After my mother's fall, we needed a doctor to oversee her overall recovery. Dr. Al-Tantawi was fantastic! He coordinated with the ortho team, checked on her medications, and really focused on what she needed to get back on her feet. He has a great way of talking to older patients—respectful and clear. We're so relieved to have found him. The hospital is big and busy, but he made sure we never felt lost in the system. (Patient of Dr. Al-Halwaji)
