Dr. Kurt has been exceptional in oversight of our three year old daughter, when we have visited him for paediatric ENT issues. He has very good technical medical expertise .Our daughter recently had her adenoids surgically removed by Dr. Kurt as daycare surgury, and the procedure and post treatment has gone extremely well. He has an excellent bed side manner and was very kind and engaged in explaining things to us. Highly recommended.

Dr Schlemmer is a very patient and attentive doctor. He takes the time needed to explain everything and answer your questions. That’s the main thing a worried patient need. I thank him for the good care.

Dr Schlemmer was our child's doctor and he helped us through the process of diagnosing his ear clogging (which had been causing repetitive infections), treating it, and eventually carrying out surgery to clear the liquid contained in the middle ear. The surgery was successful and our son can now hear clearly and has made s recovery. Dr Schlemmer is the most professional doctor our family has been with in the UAE. He communicates clearly, shows a huge amount of patience, listens to our concerns and, overall, is an excellent doctor. We are very pleased with our experience with him.
