Dr. Malek Habballah is a Consultant in Neurological Surgery and Spine Surgery at Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group in Dubai. He holds an MD from the American University of Beirut (1979) and is board-certified in neurological surgery by the American Board (1986). He completed fellowships in pediatric neurosurgery, spine surgery, and peripheral nerve surgery, bringing extensive training across multiple neurosurgical disciplines.
Dr. Habballah treats a wide range of neurological conditions requiring surgery, from spine problems (cervical and lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disease) to brain and spinal tumors, pituitary tumors, and traumatic injuries of the brain and spine. He manages neck and back pain with both surgical approaches and minimally invasive epidural injections. In pediatric neurosurgery, he addresses brain tumors, hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain), and congenital spinal and brain malformations in children. He also performs peripheral nerve decompression for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and treats headache disorders.
Dr. Habballah is a good fit if you need specialized neurosurgery—whether for spine problems, tumor removal, pediatric brain conditions, or nerve compression—particularly if you value experience and subspecialist training across multiple neurosurgical areas.
Special interests: hydrocephalus management, congenital spinal anomalies, pituitary tumor surgery.
