Paley Middle East Clinic, Burjeel Medical City, and Burjeel Hospital, Abu Dhabi, transform orthopaedic services through complex care offerings

From simple fractures to complex reconstructive surgeries, Burjeel has become a renowned name in orthopaedic care, offering exceptional care across a wide range of conditions. Under the umbrella of Burjeel Holdings, three advanced and well-equipped facilities, Paley Middle East Clinic, Burjeel Medical City (BMC), and Burjeel Hospital, Abu Dhabi, take the lead in transforming orthopaedic offerings in the region. As an achievement marking its expertise in the field, the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi recently accredited these facilities as specialised centers in orthopaedic surgery and medicine in Abu Dhabi.

Paley Middle East Clinic

The Paley Middle East Clinic is a hub for complex orthopaedic conditions in the region. Since its establishment at BMC, the flagship facility of Burjeel Holdings, this clinic has had a profound impact on patients from across the globe.

At the helm of the Paley Middle East Clinic is Dr Dror Paley, an internationally renowned orthopaedic surgeon known for his expertise in limb lengthening, deformity reconstruction, and joint preservation. Dr Paley is the founder and director of the Paley Institute in Florida, US. His extensive experience and innovative approaches have significantly influenced the clinic’s success. He is joined by a team of distinguished orthopaedic consultants, including Dr Michael Uglow, Dr David Feldman, Dr Matthew Dobbs, Dr Claire Shannon, Dr Kaveh Asadi, Dr Katherine Miller, Dr Arun R Hariharan, and Dr Simone Battibugli. Together, they provide exceptional care to patients at the clinic.

The Paley Middle East Clinic addresses an array of orthopaedic conditions including post-traumatic injuries, neuromuscular conditions, developmental and congenital disorders. Its comprehensive range of orthopaedic services includes paediatric orthopaedic surgery, limb lengthening, limb reconstruction, hip dysplasia treatment, and foot and ankle reconstruction surgery. Additionally, it provides expert trauma reconstruction for both adult and paediatric cases, ensuring top-tier care for complex orthopaedic conditions.

The Paley Middle East Clinic continues to push the boundaries of orthopaedic care through the introduction of advanced surgical techniques. One such innovation is the use of new-generation electromagnetic lengthening nails for bone lengthening. Additionally, the clinic has implemented a guided growth system using plates specifically designed at the Paley Institute in the US.

Dr Michael Uglow, director of Paley Middle East Clinic and consultant paediatric orthopaedic surgeon, explains, “Paley Middle East Clinic provides comprehensive care from experienced surgeons accredited by Western medical boards. By combining expertise with the latest technology, we focus on reconstruction rather than amputation, preserving limbs and restoring function. We guarantee timely care and offer innovative services that bring hope and smiles back to our patients’ lives.”
