Your consultation with Dr Rory is your time to connect with him and understand his treatment philosophies. He also wants you to benefit from his extensive training, experience and evidence based aesthetic medical and surgical advice.
Fundamentally, he wants you to be able to express your aesthetic concerns openly in an unrushed, stress free and secure environment. This allows for an open discussion and also a time to get to know one another. It also requires complete honesty about previous treatments.
For this reason, all new patients are respectfully asked to arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to your consultation time so that the registration process is unrushed and you have time to compose yourself. More importantly, it is to allow for your precious consultation time to be maximised and gives you time for all your questions to be answered.
Dr Rory is known for his gentle and unique bedside manner along with his personal and very compassionate approach to all patients.
He takes time to listen, to understand and is honest. In a marketplace that is over commercialised and focused on profiteering he prides himself on not performing unnecessary treatments and often declines patient requests explaining why certain expensive treatments are not indicated or not evidence based.
Through this approach Dr Rory has developed a large following of loyal patients who often bring friends as well as family for combined consultations.
He has a conservative realist, with a less is more approach. He focuses on making you the best version of yourself and does not want you to look unnatural in any way.
Finally, you must bear in mind, your whole consultation is about focusing on realistic expectations and being aware of all aspects of your patient journey. A well informed patient is a happy patient. It is critical to know about what can be achieved and the process of achieving this, including the risks, before any treatments are contemplated.

There is a waiting list facility for new consultation appointments, please contact the plastic surgery coordinators for more information.
Does Dr Rory run to time? As I don’t want to wait.
Very often, Dr Rory runs ahead of time and will see you at your consultation appointment time.
However, on some occasions due to unforeseen circumstances there can be a small wait. We sincerely apologise for this. Dr Rory or his team will notify you of these immediately on your arrival at the clinic. This happens rarely.
When seeing Dr Rory he never likes to rush with patients and so rest assured, if he is running late, when you are being seen you will have adequate time.
What happens if I cannot make my appointment?
Life can be unpredictable.

What happens if I am late?
If you are running late, we respectfully ask for notification as soon as you know this may be happening.
If you arrive fifteen minutes or more later than your appointment time, you may not be seen, as time restraints may not permit this. If you are seen, your appointment may be shorter.

Are there any consultation fees?
Yes, 1000 AED for a surgical or body consultations and 650 AED for a facial non-surgical treatment consultations.
These consultation fees are per individual patients seen. Combined consultations have combined fees.
If it is feasible and you choose do to the facial non-surgical treatments on the day then the consultation fee is deducted from the cost of the treatment.
Can I see any before and after pictures surgery?
Before and after pictures are fascinating but are a poor guide to your personalised surgical outcome.
Many patients place their decision on these pictures but do not consider their anatomy and starting points or indeed the opinions of the patients in the after pictures as to whether they are indeed satifsfied with their results or even if they are true to life and realistic.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) rightly places certain restrictions on publishing before and after pictures on websites and social media. Therfore, Dr Rory has instead adopted a more informative approach.
After your individual consultation based on your particular concerns and anatomy, he will place you in contact with a similar previous patient advocate who can share their journey and outcomes with you.
After this, working together with Dr Rory on your unique anatomy, particular concerns and expectations will lead to the most powerful personalised ‘before and after’ experience.
What happens if I want to go ahead with surgery?
If, after your consultation and time for reflection, you choose to go ahead, you can contact one of our plastic surgery coordinators who will guide through the process and next steps.
