Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of dr-hamad.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. The website is operated by Dr. Abdul Rahman Hamad, Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Medical information only

The website provides general educational information about vascular and endovascular conditions, treatment options and Dr. Hamad’s professional services. It is not a substitute for an individual medical consultation, examination, diagnosis or treatment plan.

Emergencies

This website, its email address and its appointment request channels are not monitored as emergency services. If you believe you have a medical emergency, contact local emergency services or attend the nearest emergency department immediately.

Appointments and communications

Submitting an enquiry or selecting a preferred date does not create or confirm an appointment. An appointment exists only after the relevant hospital or clinical team expressly confirms it.

Website communications do not, by themselves, create a doctor–patient relationship. Such a relationship is established only through an appropriate clinical consultation and the applicable hospital procedures. Please do not send medical reports, detailed diagnoses or urgent health information through general website channels.

Accuracy and availability

Reasonable efforts are made to keep website information accurate and current. Medical knowledge, clinical guidance, hospital arrangements and available treatments can change. No guarantee is made that every page is complete, current or suitable for a particular person. The website may be changed, suspended or withdrawn without notice.

External links and hospital services

Links to Google Maps, NMC hospitals and other third-party websites are provided for convenience. Dr. Hamad does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.

Hospital appointments, admissions, billing, insurance, clinical records and facility services are governed by the relevant hospital’s own terms, policies and procedures.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis without warranties of uninterrupted access, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. The website operator is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information, inability to access the website, or use of third-party links. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Privacy
