Question 1

Is a doctor checkup the same as a full body checkup?

Accepted Answer

No. A doctor checkup is a GP's physical exam and consultation. A full body checkup is a blood-panel product, a lab draw the doctor later reads. They're often booked together, but they're not the same visit.

Question 2

Does a doctor checkup at home include blood tests?

Accepted Answer

Not by default. BestDOC's in-home GP consultation is the exam and consultation. A nurse adds a blood draw only if the doctor recommends one, or if you book it alongside the visit.

Question 3

How much does a doctor checkup at home cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

BestDOC's in-home GP consultation starts from AED 350, paid after the visit, with a free 7-day follow-up. A 4-visit bundle runs AED 999, valid one year.

Question 4

How long does an in-home doctor checkup take?

Accepted Answer

Up to 30 minutes for the exam and consultation, with the clinician arriving in around 45 minutes on average across Dubai.

Question 5

Who should book a routine checkup instead of waiting until they're sick?

Accepted Answer

New Dubai residents wanting a baseline, chronic-condition patients between nurse visits, and anyone who wants a doctor's read before deciding whether lab tests are worth adding.

Question 6

Is a doctor checkup at home covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

BestDOC works on a self-pay basis, not insurance billing. The coordinator quotes the price upfront before the visit is confirmed.

Question 7

What's the difference between a checkup and a doctor home visit for illness?

Accepted Answer

A checkup is preventive, booked when nothing is wrong. A doctor home visit is for a current symptom, fever, infection, or injury that needs diagnosis and treatment now. Both use the same in-home GP service.
