Hello Louise, I work all over the Middle East but I always stop over in Dubai. I was thinking of getting an MRI on my knee. I have been told it would be cheaper to get it done in Dubai out of pocket than it would be going through my insurance in the US. What do you think? What would it take to get that procedure done and would it be cost effective? Thanks for your help.

I would recommend you contact the Allied Diagnostic Centre where the do MRI’s. An MRI on your knee would cost approximately AED 2575 however, you would need a referral from a Doctor which you could also get here in Dubai.  Please see list of Doctors here in Dubai.
