Stanford Medical Center Abu Dhabi: Book the Right Doctor and Avoid Branch Confusion
Stanford Medical Center is a private medical center in the Al Bateen area of Abu Dhabi, commonly searched for family medicine, internal medicine, orthopedics, OB-GYN, psychiatry, psychology, physiotherapy, dentistry and pediatric visits.
This local guide helps Abu Dhabi patients confirm the correct UAE facility, phone number, working hours, appointment route, doctors, insurance questions, documents, map access and when urgent care is safer than waiting for a routine clinic appointment.
Al Bateen clinic run-through
Independent guide: UAEMedicalCentres.org is not Stanford Medical Center, not Stanford Medicine USA, not Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, not an insurer, not a TPA, not a booking service and not an emergency provider. Confirm appointments, doctors, fees, insurance, license status and urgent-care suitability directly with the clinic, your insurer, DoH Abu Dhabi or UAE emergency services.
Is Stanford Medical Center the right Abu Dhabi clinic to contact?
Yes, for planned outpatient care
Use this Al Bateen medical center for routine clinic-style appointments, doctor consultations, dental visits, physiotherapy, psychology/psychiatry, internal medicine and similar outpatient needs.
Yes, for Al Bateen access
The official contact source places the center on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street, Bateen Area, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
No, for serious emergencies
For chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke-like symptoms, heavy bleeding, major injury, severe allergy, collapse or fast-worsening illness, do not wait for a clinic appointment.
Important name warning: “Stanford Medical Center” can also point users to Stanford Health Care / Stanford Medicine in the United States. This page is about the Abu Dhabi medical center website at stanfordmedical.ae and the Al Bateen location.
Which Stanford Medical Center page is this?
The UAE result to use is Stanford Medical Center in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. Do not mix it with Stanford Medicine, Stanford Health Care or Stanford Hospital in California.
| Search result | Likely meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Stanford Medical Center Abu Dhabi | Private medical center in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. | Use this guide, then confirm the appointment through the official UAE provider route. |
| Stanford Medicine / Stanford Health Care | US academic hospital/health system, not the Abu Dhabi clinic. | Do not use US appointment, billing or portal information for a UAE clinic visit. |
| Stanford doctor name from an old directory | Could be outdated or branch-specific. | Confirm current doctor affiliation, title, specialty and appointment time directly with the clinic. |
| Social media or WhatsApp-only listing | May be useful for orientation but not final proof. | Use official website, direct phone and regulator routes before sending documents. |
How to book Stanford Medical Center Abu Dhabi
The official appointment page asks patients to submit personal information and select a suitable time and date. For faster confirmation, call the center and ask whether your doctor, specialty and insurance route are available today.
Confirm the Abu Dhabi clinic first
Say “Stanford Medical Center, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi” when calling. This avoids confusion with Stanford Medicine in the United States or other unrelated listings.
Choose your specialty
Select the reason for visit first: General & Family Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, OB-GYN, Psychiatry & Psychology, Physiotherapy, Dentistry, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Radiology or Laboratory.
Ask appointment versus walk-in
Do not assume walk-in acceptance. Ask whether the specialty accepts walk-ins today, whether the doctor is available, and what the last registration time is.
Confirm insurance and fee before arrival
Ask whether your exact plan is accepted, whether direct billing applies, whether pre-approval is required, and what the self-pay estimate is if insurance does not cover the visit.
Save your appointment details
Keep the appointment confirmation, doctor name, time, clinic phone number, map and any approval number ready before you leave home, work or hotel.
Useful call script: “Hi, I want Stanford Medical Center in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. Is this doctor or specialty available today? Are walk-ins accepted or should I book? Is my insurance direct billing at this clinic? What should I bring?”

How to check Stanford Medical Center doctors safely
The official appointment source lists several doctors and specialties, but doctor rosters, leave schedules, language availability, clinic days and appointment slots can change. Always confirm current availability directly before travel.
| Provider-published doctor examples | Listed title / specialty signal | Confirm before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Atef Mustafa | Specialist Psychiatrist, Medical Director and CEO. | Current appointment timing, title, consultation type and insurance coverage. |
| Dr. Hamid Muhammad bin Baraka | Consultant orthopedic surgeon. | Orthopedic appointment slot, imaging needs and approval requirements. |
| Dr. Basil Tawfiq Dib | Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist. | OB-GYN timing, scan/report needs and urgent pregnancy-warning route. |
| Dr. Hanna Najjar | Internal medicine specialist. | Adult medicine timing, reports to carry and follow-up route. |
| Other appointment-form names | The appointment dropdown also shows additional doctors and departments. | Do not treat the dropdown as proof of same-day availability; call first. |
For appointment availability
- Use the official appointment form or call the clinic.
- Pick specialty before doctor name.
- Ask whether the doctor is seeing patients today.
- Confirm doctor timing separately from clinic timing.
- Ask whether insurance applies to that exact doctor.
For DoH verification
- Use Department of Health – Abu Dhabi official tools where needed.
- Search by exact facility or professional details when available.
- Confirm title, specialty and current status.
- Ask the clinic for correct license details if online search is unclear.
Doctor-list caution: a doctor profile, dropdown or old directory does not prove that a doctor is available at the time you visit. Confirm current facility association, appointment timing, title, specialty and insurance before travelling.
Insurance, direct billing and fee questions before you visit
Stanford Medical Center’s official pages mention insurance partners, but your exact coverage depends on your insurer, TPA, network, policy level, doctor, specialty, service, approval rule and exclusions.
Ask exact coverage
Give the clinic name, doctor, specialty, insurer, TPA, network and service before relying on direct billing.
Ask total cost
Consultation may be separate from registration, dental treatment, lab, radiology, therapy sessions, medicines and follow-up.
Ask about approval
Physiotherapy, radiology, psychiatry/psychology, dental procedures and specialist services may need separate approval or may be excluded.
Fee safety note: reliable current fees were not published for every service. Confirm directly before booking. Guessing healthcare prices can mislead patients and create low-value content.
What to carry for a Stanford Medical Center visit
A normal Abu Dhabi clinic visit is easier when identity, insurance and medical history are ready. Carry only what the official clinic, doctor or insurer needs.
Basic documents
Emirates ID, insurance card, appointment confirmation, registered phone number and payment method.
Medical documents
Previous reports, prescriptions, allergy list, medicine list, discharge summary, referral letter and imaging if relevant.
Insurance documents
Approval number, claim form, referral note, policy card and insurer message if your service needs pre-approval.
For mental-health visits: carry current medication details and previous reports if you have them, but do not send sensitive mental-health records to unverified numbers. For immediate self-harm risk or danger, use emergency support instead of waiting for a clinic appointment.
Privacy caution: do not send Emirates ID copies, insurance-card images, prescriptions, lab reports, mental-health records or medical files to unverified WhatsApp numbers, social accounts or directory listings.
Stanford Medical Center Abu Dhabi timings
The official contact page shows Sunday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Saturday closed. Treat this as the general facility timing, not a guarantee for every doctor or department.
| Day | Published working-hour signal | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday to Friday | 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. | Doctor timing, last registration, lab/radiology timing, dental slots and insurance desk timing. |
| Saturday | Closed. | Holiday exceptions, special clinics or rescheduled appointments directly with the provider. |
| Ramadan / UAE public holidays | May differ from normal timing. | Same-day opening, doctor availability and last registration before travel. |
Timing caution: a medical center may be open while a specific doctor, dental chair, lab counter, radiology room, physiotherapy slot, cashier or insurance desk has different hours.
Stanford Medical Center Abu Dhabi map and access notes
The provider’s contact page lists Stanford Medical Center on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street, Bateen Area, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. Use the exact UAE clinic wording when opening a map so you do not end up on Stanford Medicine USA pages.
What to do if booking, billing or care access goes wrong
Start with Stanford Medical Center because the clinic can check your appointment, invoice, approval, doctor slot, report or branch record. If a serious healthcare complaint in Abu Dhabi remains unresolved, use Department of Health – Abu Dhabi routes.
Ask the clinic first
Request the appointment reference, invoice, approval status, cancellation reason, estimated fee, doctor timing or manager/contact route.
Ask your insurer or TPA
For rejected claims, approval delays, network disputes or co-pay questions, your insurer or TPA may need to confirm coverage directly.
Use DoH Abu Dhabi for formal medical issues
Department of Health – Abu Dhabi provides routes for licensed-facility information and medical-error complaint investigation requests in Abu Dhabi emirate.
When not to wait for Stanford Medical Center booking
Stanford Medical Center is useful for planned outpatient care, but a clinic guide cannot decide whether your symptoms are safe to wait. If the situation may be serious, use emergency care first.
Ambulance
In the UAE, call 998 for ambulance help in a medical emergency.
Police
Call 999 for police emergencies where immediate safety support is needed.
Fire / civil defence
Call 997 for fire or civil-defence emergencies.
Use emergency care now for severe chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, stroke-like symptoms, heavy bleeding, major injury, severe allergic reaction, unconsciousness, poisoning, severe burns, severe pregnancy warning signs, immediate self-harm risk or any rapidly worsening condition.
