I was referred to Dr Aqeel, after discovering that my daughter was going through early puberty. He conducted a thorough, professional, yet discreet examination that respected our privacy. Fortunately, we found out that my daughter's condition could be managed by treating her underactive thyroid. We were convinced by his explanation as to why we didn't need to go through the unnecessary treatments suggested elsewhere. And I am glad we trusted him, as 5 years on, we are doing just fine. Dr Aqeel's manners, behaviour and communication put both my daughter and me at ease from the very start. His diagnosis was spot on. We cant thank him enough for the positive journey we have had so far.

Visiting Dr. Aqeel Farooque at Al Qassimi Women’s and Children’s Hospital was a transformative experience during a particularly challenging time for our family. After our 3.5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last month, we were overwhelmed with shock and uncertainty. Dr. Aqeel came highly recommended, and from our first visit, it was clear why. His approach was profoundly reassuring; he exuded a calm confidence that immediately put us at ease. He didn't just treat our daughter—he educated us, emphasizing that effective diabetes management is achievable with knowledge and adaptation. Dr. Aqeel reassured us that our daughter was absolutely fine and that the key to her thriving is how we handle the condition as a family. His expertise was evident as he navigated us through the latest technologies and management strategies for diabetes. Every question was met with a thoughtful and knowledgeable response, reflecting his deep understanding of the condition. What stood out the most was Dr. Aqeel's ability to connect on a human level. He made us feel heard and cared for in a time of great anxiety. His guidance was not just medical but holistic, encouraging us to adopt a lifestyle that is not only healthy for our daughter but beneficial for our entire family. We left the consultation not just with a treatment plan but with a new outlook on our daughter’s diagnosis. Dr. Aqeel is truly an encyclopedia of knowledge and a pillar of support for families like ours. We are deeply grateful for his compassionate care and expert advice.
