About Dr. Rafik Abu Samra
Dr. Rafik Abu Samra is a Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group in Dubai. He completed his medical training in Poland, including a Ph.D. in Cardiac Surgery with a focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. His clinical expertise spans both traditional open-heart surgery and advanced keyhole approaches to treating heart and aortic conditions.
Dr. Abu Samra specialises in treating coronary heart disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries), valve heart disease (problems with the heart's valves), and aortic disease (conditions affecting the main artery from the heart). He is skilled in performing both classic open surgery and minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures, which typically involve smaller incisions and faster recovery times. His training through the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery and the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery reflects his commitment to advanced surgical techniques.
He is a good fit for patients seeking specialist cardiac surgery, particularly those interested in minimally invasive approaches where appropriate, or those with complex aortic or coronary conditions requiring experienced surgical management.
