Had a complex leg issue from an old sports injury. My schedule is insane, so I needed someone who could cut through the noise. Dr. Paley did exactly that. Explained the plan clearly, no fluff. Surgery at Burjeel was smooth, recovery is on track. Got me back to work faster than I expected. (Patient of Dr. Dror)

Doctor: Dr. Dror Paley Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

Our 8-year-old was born with a condition that made walking painful. We'd seen other doctors, but nothing helped long-term. From the first meeting, Dr. Paley listened to all our fears. He knelt down to talk to our son directly, showed him the X-rays. The surgery was scary for us, but his team at Burjeel kept us updated every step of the way. Seeing our boy run without pain for the first time... we just cried. He gave our child his childhood back. (Patient of Dr. Dror)

My knee was a mess. Friend recommended Paley. Went to Burjeel, he fixed it. No nonsense, straight to the point. Works. (Patient of Dr. Dror)

Doctor: Dr. Dror Paley Hospital: Burjeel Medical City Abu Dhabi

I'd been living with this nagging hip pain for years. Tried physio, injections, the works. Booking with Dr. Paley felt like a last resort. The waiting area at Burjeel was busy, I was nervous. But he walked in, spent a solid 45 minutes just going over my scans, drawing on a whiteboard to show me exactly what was wrong and how he could fix it. He didn't sugarcoat it—said recovery would be tough. The surgery itself was intense, and yeah, the first few weeks of rehab were hard. But now, a year later, I'm hiking again. That man knows his craft. (Patient of Dr. Dror)
