I feel truly fortunate to have been under the care of Dr. Waldo Concepcion for my kidney transplant. He played a leading role in the surgery and has continued to support me closely throughout my recovery. The care has been exceptional—not only in terms of medical expertise, but also in how approachable and responsive he is. Dr. Concepcion always takes the time to explain things clearly, listens without rushing, and ensures I feel comfortable and confident in every step of the journey. I’m deeply grateful for his commitment and compassion. It’s made all the difference in my healing process. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of world-class transplant care.

I met Doc in 2021 when I was being checked for kidney transplant. From the very first time till now, the reason why we chose to do our transplant here in Dubai was only because of Dr. Waldo. His impressive portfolio at SUH,USA - heading the transplant unit there to great heights and then bringing that vision to Dubai to set people free from the enslavement of dialysis to his passion to work non stop to provide care to as many as possible. The passion is unmissable. You’ll see it from the very first appointment. That’s why I choose to be his patient.

In fact, it’s not only about my recent visit that I would like to talk about. I am so grateful, happy, and very thankful and satisfied about everything that has been given to me by City hospital and its doctors, nurses, and staff. Dr. Waldo is an amazing doctor and person. I have met with Dr. Waldo during my last visit and as usual everything was excellent and perfect. When you meet with Dr. Waldo you get the impression that you are his only patient and that you are meeting with someone who really cares.
