When Dr. Hecham Harb arrived in Dubai in April 2022, he brought with him over two decades of experience in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, gained across Australia, the UK, and the Middle East. A fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and a member of the Royal College of Physicians in the UK, Dr. Hecham is passionate about helping patients with obesity management, diabetes, and endocrinology.
Soon after relocating to Dubai, Dr. Hecham partnered up with an investor and he co-founded Endocare, a pioneering obesity clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, where he now also serves as Medical Director as well as a practicing clinician. Endocare is a hybrid health company dedicated to helping patients with weight loss, diabetes management, and comprehensive endocrinology services.
An Inspiring Patient Journey
One of the most compelling stories from Dr. Hecham’s practice involves a patient who had struggled with weight for years. When they first met, the patient was frustrated, exhausted, and hesitant about surgery, despite previous failed attempts at weight loss through diets and exercise. He was suffering from shortness of breath, sleep apnea, low energy, and a family history of chronic illnesses.
Dr. Hecham supported him holistically, medically, socially and with lifestyle coaching by creating a personalized plan that included medication management, strength exercises, a high-protein, low-carb diet as well as proper hydration.
Over 16 months, this patient lost an incredible 50 kilograms – from 150 to now weighing 100 kg and becoming a completely new person.
The patients’ blood tests have improved dramatically: fatty liver, high cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels are now all within normal range and today, the gentlemen is more energetic, optimistic than ever, and he is now able to enjoy everyday activities such as playing with his children, walking up the stairs and feeling much healthier and happier than ever before!
This is just one recent story out of hundreds of patients that Dr. Hecham has served since establishing his practice in Dubai in 2022.
