About Dr. Ayham Suleiman Shaheen
Dr. Ayham Suleiman Shaheen is a general surgeon with nearly 20 years of clinical experience across Europe and the Middle East. He trained at Damascus University Hospital in Syria and Strasbourg University Hospital in Luxembourg before joining Mediclinic Al Ain in 2009, where he has built a strong practice in surgical care.
Dr. Shaheen's expertise spans thyroid and breast surgery, as well as colorectal conditions including piles (haemorrhoids), fistulas, and fissures. He is particularly skilled in minimally invasive techniques, holding a diploma in laparoscopic surgery and performing hernia repairs through small-incision keyhole approaches, which typically mean faster recovery and less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.
He is a good fit for patients seeking experienced surgical care for common conditions of the thyroid, breast, or lower bowel, especially those interested in laparoscopic (keyhole) options that reduce hospital stay and recovery time.
