Reviews

I had the best care and treatment from Dr. Hassan Abdul Aziz in Clemenceau Medical Centre Dubai, highly recommended for any eye related issues. In addition to his highly professional behavior and gentle personality. He shares his personal mobile number so it’s so convenient and easy to get in touch with. He always follow up very carefully with his patients and shows a very good care. I never had such an experience with any doctor in any hospital in dubai. I can say confidently that Dr Hassan Abdul Aziz is the best eye doctor or ophthalmologist in Dubai. - Google Review
