Dr. Charalampos Harris Zourelidis
Comprehensive Orthopedic Care
The Orthopedics Department at Polyclinic.ae is led by Dr. Harris, one of Dubai’s top Russian-speaking orthopedic surgeons with years of clinical and surgical experience and a strong track record of successful outcomes. His expertise covers both conservative and surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with a fracture, sprain, dislocation, or chronic pain in your back, knees, shoulders, or joints, you can receive expert care the same day.
All essential diagnostic services — X-ray, MRI, and CT — are available directly in the clinic. X-rays are performed immediately, and MRI or CT scans can be arranged without long waiting times.
Our patients can also undergo physiotherapy with experienced rehabilitation specialists or plan orthopedic surgeries — including those covered by insurance.
We use modern, evidence-based treatment methods, including joint injections, PRP therapy, and pain-relief blocks, helping patients relieve pain quickly, restore joint mobility, and return to an active lifestyle.
