Doctor: Dr. Claire Shannon Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

My husband was admitted to Burjeel Medical City with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Claire Shannon was the one who saw him. She called me directly after every check-up, explained things in a way I could actually understand, and never made me feel like I was asking stupid questions. She treated him, but she really looked after our whole family through it. We felt seen. (Patient of Dr. Claire)

First time seeing a doctor here and I was a nervous wreck, my hands were actually shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Shannon has this calm way about her—she didn't rush, she listened to all my jumbled-up worries, and she just said 'We'll figure this out together.' That made all the difference. Left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. (Patient of Dr. Claire)

Saw Dr. Shannon for a persistent cough. Straight to the point, clear advice, sorted the meds. Got better fast. What more do you want? (Patient of Dr. Claire)

Doctor: Dr. Claire Shannon Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

I'd been putting off seeing anyone about this nagging fatigue for months. The parking at Burjeel was a nightmare that morning, which almost made me turn back. Dr. Shannon remembered a small detail I'd mentioned about my sleep from a form I filled out weeks prior. She connected dots I didn't even see, ordered the right tests, and called me herself with the results on a Friday evening. It wasn't anything dramatic, just a vitamin deficiency, but the way she paid attention to the little things made me feel like I was in really good hands. (Patient of Dr. Claire)
