Dr. Aseem Alhaj

Dr Aseem Alhaj is a neurosurgeon and spinal surgeon practising at Emirates Hospitals Group in Dubai. He specialises in both surgical and non-surgical management of conditions affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves, with a particular focus on minimal-invasive (keyhole) techniques that reduce patient recovery time.

Dr Alhaj treats a wide range of spinal conditions including neck and back pain, disc herniation, and spinal instability using advanced techniques such as microscopic and endoscopic surgery. He is experienced in spinal fixation using pedicle screws with spinal navigation guidance, and manages complex cases including spinal trauma, brain tumours, hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), and peripheral nerve conditions. He also offers spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain management.

He takes a comprehensive approach, offering conservative (non-surgical) treatment options first for neck and back pain before considering surgery. He is fluent in English, Arabic, and German, making him accessible to patients from diverse backgrounds.
