Primary Care in Dhahran
Primary Care in Dhahran
We offer a personal level of healthcare that aims to avoid you seeing a different member of staff each time you visit, and enables you to build a close relationship with your caregivers. Led by your Primary Care physician, our Care Team model brings together doctors, case managers, practice coordinators and schedulers, to work with you as a team. This ensures continuity of care, which is associated with better long-term health and wellbeing. Should you or your family suffer serious illness, our medical team’s expert knowledge and long-term understanding of your medical history and background will mean you can be treated more effectively. As well as offering a range of clinics and wellbeing programs, Primary Care at Dhahran provides essential services such as a pharmacy, screening tests and immunizations. JHAH is also here for you and your family in your home, your office, or on-the-go, through our online health portal, MyChart.

Laboratory & Screening Tests
During your visit, your doctor may request tests to help find out more about your condition. This could be anything from a simple blood test or urine sample to a full body scan, and will either be carried out straightaway or scheduled for a later date. Our expert medical staff will talk you through the procedure, make sure you are comfortable during the test, and then give you time to recover afterwards should you need it.
