The Family Medicine Program at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Medical Subspecialties Institute provides compassionate, Patients First care to the whole family.

Family Medicine Program physicians are dedicated to excellence in primary care, focusing on each patient in the context of his or her whole family. A continuous relationship between the patient and the physician makes it possible for them to work together to achieve the best possible results in the patient’s health.
