Top Longevity Doctors in Dubai

The Persian Gulf is establishing itself as a leader in the global longevity sector. In recent years, it has invested in health technologies to predict medical risk and develop medicines, funded R&D for diagnostics and preventive drugs, and invited longevity institutions to set up operations in the region. 

The longevity industry in just the United Arab Emirates (UAE) alone is expected to grow by 8.5% annually to $32 billion by 2026. 

It’s no surprise that Dubai, the most populous city in the UAE and one of the most populous cities in the Middle East, has dedicated health professionals in the functional medicine and longevity medicine spaces. 

These are nine top-rated longevity doctors in Dubai who specialize in functional medicine and integrative health.

Dr. Javed Hingora

Dr. Javed Hingora is the founder of Dubai Homeopathy Health Center. With over 26 years of experience, Dr Javed Hingora is one of the pioneering leaders in the field of homeopathy in the Middle East. 

Dr. Hingora’s story of how he came to homeopathy is interesting. His father was a conventional medical doctor for the start of his career, but that all changed at the time of his birth, when his mother developed septicemia and was unresponsive to all treatment. A family friend suggested his father try homeopathy, and that’s when a frail man in a wheelchair visited his mom to assess her condition. He gave Dr. Hingora’s father a few sugar pills with instructions, saying that there was a chance she might make it but to also prepare for the worst. Before the sun came up, his mother uttered, “I’m hungry!” and recovered fully within days of this treatment. This situation shook Dr. Hingora’s father’s professional beliefs, and it encouraged him to study homeopathy and natural healing. Dr. Hingora grew up assisting his father in his clinic and eventually pursued the same line of work. He moved to Dubai in 2003, when homeopathy was essentially non-existent, and then he opened Dubai Homeopathy Health Center in 2005. 

Dubai Homeopathy Health Centre (DHHC) is a holistic healing center that provides chemical-free treatments and therapies to patients of all ages. The practitioners take into consideration emotions, life events, and lifestyle when diagnosing health imbalances. They encourage their patients to be self-aware and make positive changes to prevent disease from occurring in the future.  

Their lists of conditions they treat and services they provide are extensive. You can view the conditions and services on their website.
