About Dr. Sherif Ullah
Dr. Sherif Ullah is a general surgeon at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah who sees adults with the everyday surgical problems that bring most people to a surgeon: hernias, piles, gallbladder and appendix trouble, lumps in the skin or breast, and wounds that are slow to heal. He is registered with the UAE Ministry of Health as a Specialist (A) in General Surgery.
His background is broader than routine general surgery. From 1993 to 2006 Dr. Ullah worked in cardiothoracic surgery at the Postgraduate Institute, Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, rising from medical officer to consultant, and he has published research on the surgical treatment of cancer of the oesophagus (the food pipe) as well as a dissertation on intestinal tuberculosis. That training in chest and upper digestive surgery sits behind his general surgical work today.
In 2006 he moved to the UAE as a specialist surgeon, working at Dibba Hospital in Fujairah, at Mueed Medical Center in Sharjah, and from 2012 to 2020 at UAQ Hospital in Umm Al Quwain. He qualified in medicine at Khyber Medical College, Peshawar University, gained the FCPS in surgery from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, and became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 2017.
At a first consultation Dr. Ullah takes your history, examines the problem and explains whether it can be managed without an operation or needs surgery, and what that would involve, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
