Dr. Herve Ouanezar displays clear, supportive, and reassuring communication with patients. He demonstrates expertise in knee and hip conditions, with a focus on non-surgical treatment plans before considering procedures like meniscus tear repair, total hip replacement, and ACL reconstruction. His excellent follow-up care and professional honesty build patient trust and confidence. The most frequent themes involve addressing knee pain and sports injuries, including knee surgery and ACL procedures.
I am following my treatment at this facility thanks to Dr. Hervé, who is competent, highly qualified and kind. However, the people at the front desk and reception are shocking.
I highly recommend Dr. Herve for his exceptional care with my 14-year-old son, Zayed. Before choosing him, we sought more than six medical opinions, but many doctors didn’t give us the reassurance of success due to their lack of experience with this relatively uncommon injury. The procedure was complex, involving a broken cartilage behind the kneecap with no bone attachment, yet thanks to Dr. Herve’s expertise it was a complete success, and three and a half months later an MRI confirmed the cartilage had successfully reattached. He explained everything clearly, was patient with 101 questions that I had about the surgery, and was very supportive in communicating directly with Zayed’s physiotherapists after surgery. Beyond the clinic, he also made himself available on WhatsApp to address any questions or concerns, which gave us great reassurance. Thanks to his skill, Zayed’s recovery has been faster than expected, and he is now returning to football two months earlier than planned.
I recently underwent total hip replacement surgery and had an exceptional experience with my surgeon Dr Herve. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, his level of professionalism, attention, was truly outstanding. He made sure I felt supported throughout. His follow-up care and genuine concern for my recovery have been incredibly reassuring. I’m deeply grateful for his expertise and compassionate approach, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.
Dr. Herve is truly exceptional. Not every doctor in the UAE possesses the same expertise, experience, and knowledge to work effectively with high-level athletes. I met Dr. Herve back in 2023, and he successfully treated my left knee. He has become my trusted doctor for any lower body joint issues.
I had a meniscus tear, and Dr. Hervé performed the surgery. I experienced no pain afterward and was able to return to my normal life quickly. He was very reassuring in his words and provided clear, helpful feedback. Unlike many other doctors in Dubai, he genuinely cares about his patients and doesn’t treat medicine like just a business.
A truly exceptional doctor — thank you for your expertise and integrity We consulted Dr Herve Ouanezar after my son suffered a judo-related trauma affecting his knee. Another specialist had recommended surgery, but we wanted a second opinion. From the first consultation, Dr Ouanezar impressed us with his calm, thorough approach and deep medical knowledge. He took the time to review the scans, examine my son carefully, and explain everything in clear, reassuring terms. Most importantly, he made additional scan and finally advised against surgery, offering a more reliable treatment plan — which turned out to be the right decision. Thanks to his expert guidance, my son recovered fully without needing an invasive procedure. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines technical excellence with such honesty and care. We are incredibly grateful — and we highly recommend Dr Ouanezar to anyone looking for a thoughtful, evidence-based medical opinion.
It’s rare to find a doctor that knowledgeable and cares about his work. He recognized what is wrong with my knee directly, asked me all the right questions and explained the course of treatment. Hands down the best knee specialist in the UAE!
Doctor was amazing with my daughter, he always supported her, he did the great job with her ACL and meniscus. She will be back soon to plays the football like before.
From the beginning up until now Ive had an amazing experience with Dr. Herve. The surgery was able to be complete in only 1h and 30 mins and was surely done very successfully considering my rehabilitation has been going great. Dr. Herve is also consistently answering any questions aswell as having checkups with me to ensure things are going well.
I saw many orthopedics unfortunately, and by far he is the best I’ve never met.
