HealthBay Women’s Care | Umm Al Sheif

I am looking since 6 years for a specialist doctor and it was a challenge in Dubai. I met Dr.Friederike and I have to say she’s the best doctor. She takes her time to understand the patient and to check the health. Will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.

This was my first pregnancy, and I chose Dr. Jozsa based on others’ recommendations. My main reason for this choice was his pro-natural birth attitude. My pregnancy was extremely easy, healthy, and uneventful, with zero complications. However, there were red flags along the way, and I should have listened to my instinct that he was not the right fit for my journey.nnFirstly, although we spoke the same native language, he was not a very chatty person. During the scans, he did not explain what he was doing, and when I sought guidance, he dismissed my questions with very short answers. When I complained about some physical pain, he simply said, “It’s part of the pregnancy; there isn’t much to do.” In reality, with some exercise and physiotherapy, that pain could have been avoided, but he showed little interest. To him, an easy pregnancy seemed routine, like filling a tooth for a dentist. But for first-time mothers, it is anything but routine. Still, I trusted his experience and stuck with him, filling the gaps in my questions and concerns through Dr. Google.nnAt the 39-week mark, I visited him for a regular checkup, where there were no signs of labor. However, later that afternoon, my water broke unexpectedly, and I was admitted to the hospital. We hadn’t discussed complications or induction during my regular checks with Dr. Jozsa. When I arrived at the hospital, I felt the midwives assumed I had already been briefed by Dr. Jozsa about my options for delivery, while he likely believed it was the midwives' duty to guide me. Dr. Jozsa knew my preference was to deliver naturally, but he did not support me in that journey when the time came.nnAfter spending 24 hours in the hospital, I felt I had no choice but to opt for a C-section. If I had received more information about my condition, along with proper briefings on the various options and potential risks, I could have made different decisions and at least attempted to deliver my baby naturally. Instead, I ended up with major surgery without being properly induced or given the chance to deliver vaginally. For someone who has been healthy her entire life and has never spent a day in a hospital, this was a huge shock, and I felt it was my only option due to the lack of support from the midwives and Dr. Jozsa. To him, it was just a routine surgery, and he showed little empathy.nnI might have ended up with a C-section anyway, but what truly hurt was the lack of care, attention, and communication. No doubt he knows his craft when it comes to surgery, but the journey to that point was not what I expected. In the end, my baby and I went home healthy; however, I feel I was robbed of the opportunity to experience birth.

I am extremely disappointed with the unprofessional conduct of this company. My appointment was rescheduled multiple times, which was already an inconvenience. However, the worst part was that they purposely failed to inform me that they don’t directly accept my health insurance ANYMORE Instead, they waited until the last minute, when I had already arrived in person, to tell me about this. This shows a complete lack of respect for their clients’ time and trust. I expected much better communication and transparency. Extremely unprofessional and frustrating experience.

Dr. Monika has been a wonderful support during our journey. She truly listens and takes the time to understand her patients' needs, offering thoughtful advice and care. We felt like she went above and beyond to help us, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. We're so grateful for her assistance, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated doctor.

What a lovely place and professional and patient doctor. Dr. Jelena Maksimovic took excellent care and explained to us worried parents about everything about our little girl. Her approach was admirable. Our daughter was calm, and she even enjoyed being examined. Usually, she is all over the place. I can't praise her enough for professionalism, knowledge, and patience. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
