Dubai Community Health Center

After a decade of silently struggling, I finally feel like I’m starting to experience what “normal” feels like—and it’s all thanks to Dr. Shaju George. Since I began seeing him in January 2025, my life has changed in ways I didn’t think were possible. He listens without judgment, responds with genuine care, and has the patience to guide me through every doubt and fear. Choosing to consult Dr. George was, without question, the best decision I made this year.

Dubai Community Health center provides satisfactory facilities for special kids evaluation and therapy. My child was diagnosed with Autism & ADHD, DCHC team provided great support for 3+ years for Psychological Assessment, Speech and Occupational Therapy. We took Psychological Assessment with Ms Nikita Barreto, her strategy and planning is amazing, and a patient listener to understand my child mindset. She took ample time to assess my child and provided evaluation report with many strategies to implement in school, home, therapy center for my child. Even when we used to have any queries for clarification, She used to respond to our concerns and guide us how to tackle the situation. Thank you Ms Nikita for the support provided. We took 3+ years of Speech therapy with Ms. Earncey Johnson. There are no words to explain the qualitative techniques and guidance she provided to my child in training her. She prepared proper goals, considering school and parent requirements. She made sure that my child achieved the milestones. With proper follow-up on sessions, feedback was provided on the child each session. She built up my child's confidence to talk and express her feelings. Apart from training my child, she understands and provides time to parents in providing feedback also listen to the concerns patiently and provides strategy to work on situations which requires special attention in nurturing my child. Thank you Ms Earncey for all efforts, support and understanding you provided to my child and us (parents) We also took Occupational Therapy with Ms Iriene Johns, she provided multiple strategies and guidance in handling meltdowns with sensory activities that can be implemented at home , in open areas and also in school. These strategies helped my child to calm down and improve her focus. Thank you Ms Iriene, for your time and for providing strategies that we use when ever required. Lastly, thank you to the staff who scheduled our appointments based on our flexibility and also provided on-time document that were required for reimbursement.

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Shaju George at Dubai Community Health Center for treatment related to mixed anxiety disorders, and I’m writing this with immense gratitude. His guidance, compassion, and treatment truly transformed my life. Before meeting him, I was overwhelmed and silently struggling. But after the treatment, I began to feel like a completely new person — lighter, calmer, and truly alive again. He didn’t just treat my condition — he saved my life. This was a real turning point for me, and I will always be grateful. Dr. Shaju George’s work is powerful, and I hope many others find healing through him as I did.

My son has been having Occupational Therapy early intervention with Ms Iriene Johns twice weekly for the past 6 months, he has shown tremendous improvement since he started with eye contact, attention, visual & fine motor skills and overall school readiness. She has been great with sharing tasks to work on at home and has great communication with us. My son loves going to his sessions as well and has so much fun learning with her!

Very grateful that I had the chance to interact and work with Nikita Barretto over numerous sessions. She instantly made me feel comfortable by being a good listener, taking the time to make notes and remembering them all throughout our sessions, many weeks later. This makes one feel important and heard. She is very kind, understanding and able to put forth an idea in a pleasant way which makes it easy for the receiver to accept and apply changes. She helped me recognize childhood patterns that needed amendments and with her help I was able to accept these and make changes. She also has a good sense of humor and is able to lighten the mood during intense sessions. I definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.
