Children are given time to settle in, with gentle consultations that make visits less stressful for both children and parents.
Parents describe detailed examinations, medical-history reviews and treatment options explained without rushing.
Several families have kept the clinic as their children’s regular practice from birth through early childhood.
Children anxious about dental work were supported with clear explanations, pauses and time to recover during treatment.
The clinic also covers family medicine and dentistry, so some households use it for both children’s and adults’ care.
One tourist family was scheduled almost within an hour and received quick answers to questions through WhatsApp.
Reviews describe a warm front desk and nurses who are kind, helpful and accommodating.
Ask questions. Use the consultation time to discuss concerns and treatment choices; reviews say doctors explain cases and options in detail.
Check insurance. If you rely on insurance, confirm Somerset Clinic is included before booking; one family specifically checked this for future cover.
Urgent contact. For an urgent family issue, ask about same-day availability and WhatsApp contact; a tourist family received a booking almost within an hour.
Dental nerves. Tell the dental team if your child is anxious: one review describes pausing treatment so the child could rest and recover.
First check-up. For a child’s first dental visit, expect explanations of the tools, cleaning process and aftercare to help them feel secure.
Tourist visit. Visitors without local insurance should ask for the expected cost upfront; one tourist family found the care reasonably priced.

Routine check-ups are used by families for children’s dental care, including advice on aftercare.
A dental visit included a filling repair followed by a basic cleaning.
Basic cleaning was mentioned as part of a dental filling appointment.
Lactation support was described as knowledgeable, patient and available for follow-up questions.
One older review reported more than AED 3,000 spent on medicines and tests over three visits without improvement.
The Bottom Line
Somerset Clinic is a child-focused multispeciality medical centre in Dubai Healthcare City, with paediatrics at its core. You can book routine check-ups, seek help for childhood illnesses, arrange family-medicine appointments or use the dental service for children’s check-ups, fillings and cleaning. The reviews are especially consistent about doctors taking time with children rather than rushing straight into an examination.
The strongest reason to consider it is the child-friendly approach. Parents describe babies being settled through interaction, anxious children being allowed pauses during dental treatment, and explanations being given in plain language. Families also mention ongoing care from birth, detailed follow-up and treatment that avoids unnecessary medication.
A separate review describes lactation support with prompt follow-up and practical options, which may be useful for new parents. There is also evidence of practical responsiveness: a tourist family with feverish twins was scheduled almost within an hour, and staff answered WhatsApp questions within minutes. If you are uninsured, ask about costs before treatment; that family found the bill reasonable, while an older review reported spending over AED 3,000 on medicines and tests without improvement.
That conflicting experience is worth keeping in mind and makes clear explanations and cost discussions sensible before proceeding.
