The Good Stuff
Medicine advice
Reviews describe pharmacists explaining medicines clearly and helping customers choose the right product.
Gentle blood tests
For patients who may faint during blood draws, staff offered a lying-down test and provided electrolytes afterwards.
Insurance help
A customer said staff stayed involved while arranging insurance approval and helped complete a voucher before it expired.
Clinic care
One GP visit included necessary tests, advice on the next specialist, and a prescription that helped the patient's father.
Free checks
A review mentions a complimentary health check, while another notes free blood-pressure checks.
Tips for a Better Visit
Request lying-down. If blood draws make you faint, ask whether the test can be done while lying down; this was accommodated for one patient.
Confirm insurance. Before travelling to another branch for treatment or an X-ray, confirm approval directly so you are not sent between clinics.
Check insulin delivery. If ordering insulin, confirm cold-chain handling before accepting the delivery, since one order arrived without ice.
Ask about alternatives. For an urgent medicine, ask staff to check other locations or alternatives; one customer said this helped find medicine for a grandmother.

The Bottom Line
LIFE Pharmacy - New Al Kanz is a pharmacy with an attached clinic in JLT Cluster J. It is worth considering when you need a prescription filled, help finding an alternative medicine, or a blood test. Several reviews describe good medicine knowledge, clear explanations and strong availability, including one urgent search where staff checked alternatives for a customer’s grandmother.
The clinic adds useful services such as blood tests, GP consultations and health checks. A patient who often faints during blood draws was offered a lying-down test and received electrolytes afterwards. Another review describes a GP visit involving necessary tests, a prescription and advice about which specialist to see.
Free health checks and free delivery are also mentioned in the reviews. There are important service cautions. The clinic has been criticised for long waits when one nurse was serving several patients, and a delayed blood-test report was handled poorly over the phone.
One customer also reported conflicting insurance information between JLT and the JVC branch. Take extra care with deliveries of temperature-sensitive medicine: one insulin order arrived without ice or proper temperature control. Pricing has also changed; a review says the silver package rose from AED49 to AED99 as the Gold package.
