Dr. Sadir AL Rawi is incredible, a wonderful surgeon. Not only he has taken great care of my health, but also, he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person, with outstanding quality medical care. The team, especially Dr. Hamza and Mr. Saif Al Azzawi, were always helpful, patient ,and kind to ensure I had smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I feel privileged to be treated by Dr. Sadir and I highly recommend him and his team!

Dr Sadir Alrawi is one of the best oncologist in the region with an exceptional medical background in all aspects, he is the head of oncology at Burjeel Holding private hospitals. He is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to his work with a remarkable confidence that reflects his great medical experience and makes you feel safe. Dr Sadir Alrawi is very supportive and he reassures his patients with hope and positivity. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for the right medical consultation and values his/her health to go directly meet Dr Sadir Alrawi in Burjeel Medical City in Abu Dhabi and benefit from the professional medical experience and exceptional treatment and also he is around in Dubai, Sharjah and Alain. I would like to thank Dr Sadir Alrawi for his amazing support throughout the journey and his team that have always been amazing to us. #DrSadirAlrawi #BestencologistDrSadirAlrawi #GreatteamatBMC

Dr. Sadir AlRawi is undeniably the best surgical oncologist we have met in UAE. Although we have been to many doctors lately, we have never received such support and reassurance from a doctor and his team.

Dr. Sadir Jumaa Al Rawi saved my life. He is not just a doctor who has an outstanding talent in his field of surgery and oncology, but he is doctor with an exceptional gift of compassion and healing care for his patients. I am 32 years old, female and married. I was recently diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid cancer last Dec. 2017. Like with anyone else, it came as a shock because I was asymptomatic and I felt healthy before I found out that I had a small lump on my right thyroid, which by chance I just accidentally detected. I had series of tests and sought the best advice and opinions of the different specialist doctors in Dubai, which led me to pursue the best doctor who would handle my case. I have a medical background paving the way to quite an understanding about my medical condition. I was already scheduled for a bilateral thyroidectomy procedure in one of the reputable hospitals here in Dubai, but all my doubts weren’t resolved at that time. After thorough consultations with different good consultants, they all mentioned that Dr. Sadir Al Rawi would be the best Doctor who could handle my case given his undeniable vast expertise both in a critical thyroid surgery and oncology. When I first met Dr. Sadir, I immediately felt that I will be in good hands. He was so warm, humble, and his mere presence was very assuring that I would be in great care. His profile is incomparable. His extensive experience in the field of surgery and oncology is unmatched. He made a thorough check on my neck and found out that cancer has metastasized to both left and right lyphnodes of my neck contrary to my previous diagnosis. His team made up of compassionate and highly skilled professionals namely Dr. Dina, Dr. Huma, Dr. Arun, Dr. Sobhy, and RN Immanuel made my experience easier. My surgery was done last January 23, 2018 and it was very successful. My voice was unchanged and Dr. Sadir successfully removed and cleaned my entire neck from cancer. I felt the assurance that I am completely cured from cancer. It wouldn’t have been possible without the early detection of the metastatic cancer and the exceptional skill of Dr. Sadir Al Rawi. I couldn’t thank enough Dr. Sadir and his team for the continuity of care and for the love that they have shown me.
