Dr Expat FZ LLC

Dr Expat FZ LLC is a healthcare recruitment and medical licensing agency based in Dubai, UAE, established in 2013. The company connects doctors, dentists, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals with hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities across the UAE and GCC region. They assist with securing employment and obtaining medical licenses from authorities like DHA, DOH, MOH, and SCFHS, including services such as eligibility assessment, DataFlow, and document verification.

The business operates from its head office located in the Business Centre, Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone, Sharjah, AE. It provides comprehensive medical license packages for candidates eligible to apply for a professional license, with options ranging from single licenses to triple licenses covering multiple UAE authorities. Each candidate is assigned a dedicated Licensing Administrator who manages the entire process from payment of fees to document submission.

To get started, users can browse the Packages section on the website and select the service that suits their needs. If they wish to confirm eligibility before committing, they may purchase the Primary Assessment Package. Once registered, an email is sent requesting details and required documents, after which the licensing process begins with the relevant authority.

The company offers a range of services including contingent recruitment, executive search, headhunting, and contract or part-time assignments. They also provide employer services such as healthcare facility licensing guidance, regulatory approvals, and operational management support for new or expanding clinics. The team supports professionals in completing pre-employment processes and successfully commencing in a post.

One reviewer praised the team for guiding them step by step through the DHA license application process, answering questions patiently, and making documentation stress-free. Another highlighted their professionalism, timely communication, and clear guidance about requirements and exam preparation. These positive experiences contributed to a 5-star rating from the single Trustburn review.

The licensing process takes approximately 8–10 weeks once complete documents are received, though DataFlow alone may take up to 3 months depending on verifier response times. A Good Standing Certificate (GSC) is valid for 6 months, while some countries like the UK issue certificates valid for only 3 months. The entire process includes eligibility checks, DataFlow, exam guidance, and licensing submissions.

The company states that exam exemptions are granted strictly at the discretion of the examination committee and are not guaranteed even if educational and experience criteria are met. All supporting documents must be uploaded for review, and under the unified PQR, only licensed clinical experience is accepted for eligibility.

Dr Expat FZ LLC was founded in 2013 by Kaneez Nabijee to address the need for a more honest, supportive, and professional approach to healthcare recruitment. The company now deals with over 150 clients in the GCC and has partners in the United Kingdom, Europe, Hungary, India, and Germany.

The business operates on a Mon – Fri schedule from 9:00am to 5:30pm. Contact can be made via the phone number +971 431 165 01 or the support email [email protected] during these hours.

The website mentions a feature called 'CareerBoost' designed to help healthcare professionals enhance their career prospects through personalized recruitment support, CV optimization, and interview guidance. This service connects qualified candidates with leading healthcare employers across the UAE and GCC.

The company offers a DataFlow Transfer service for those who already have a Primary Source Verification (PSV) report. Their team assists with transferring the existing PSV to the required licensing authority where applicable, managing the process and providing support every step of the way.

The company states that it simplifies the entire licensing process for a nominal fee, handling eligibility checks, DataFlow, exam guidance, and licensing submissions. They also provide assistance with inspections and approvals for healthcare facility licensing.
