حول

I am an endocrinologist with twenty-one years of clinical experience specializing in thyroid disorders, metabolic conditions, and hormonal imbalances. I earned my MBBS from King Saud University in Riyadh and subsequently completed a fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at Johns Hopkins University, an experience that profoundly shaped my evidence-based approach to complex hormonal conditions. I hold the distinction of Fellow of the American College of Endocrinology (FACE) and maintain board certification in both internal medicine and endocrinology. My clinical focus has centered on thyroid diseases—Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid nodule evaluation and management, and thyroid cancer surveillance—as well as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and their interplay with hormonal health. Practicing in Dubai has given me extensive experience with the unique metabolic challenges prevalent in Gulf populations, including high rates of vitamin D deficiency, consanguinity-related endocrine disorders, and the metabolic consequences of rapid lifestyle changes in the region. I have published research on thyroid autoimmunity patterns specific to Middle Eastern populations and contributed to regional clinical guidelines. On this platform, I offer expert consultations on thyroid disorder management, metabolic syndrome optimization, and second opinions on complex endocrine cases. I am particularly skilled at interpreting subtle laboratory patterns that less experienced clinicians may overlook—subclinical thyroid dysfunction, early metabolic derangements, and the hormonal cascades that connect thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive axis issues. I communicate in both Arabic and English and welcome patients from across the Gulf region and internationally who seek thorough, specialist-level endocrine evaluation.

أدلة الحالة

حالة · مجهول الهوية

A 38-year-old woman was referred to me with newly diagnosed Graves' disease presenting with significant thyrotoxicosis, weight loss, and ophthalmopathy. I initiated antithyroid medication with careful dose titration, coordinated with ophthalmology for her eye disease, and guided her through the decision-making process regarding definitive therapy. After eighteen months of medical management achieving stable remission, she elected to continue surveillance rather than proceed to radioiodine, and has remained in remission for three years now. Verified by Rebirthealth.

حالة · مجهول الهوية

A 52-year-old man consulted me through the platform for a second opinion on a 2.3cm thyroid nodule that had been classified as Bethesda III on fine-needle aspiration. His local physician recommended immediate surgery. I reviewed the ultrasound characteristics, cytology report, and molecular testing results, and advised a repeat FNA with molecular panel rather than proceeding directly to thyroidectomy. The repeat biopsy reclassified the nodule as benign, sparing him unnecessary surgery. Verified by Rebirthealth.

حالة · مجهول الهوية

A 45-year-old woman with metabolic syndrome, central obesity, and borderline thyroid function presented feeling chronically fatigued and unable to lose weight despite significant effort. I identified subclinical hypothyroidism with TPO antibody positivity, early insulin resistance not yet meeting diabetic thresholds, and severe vitamin D deficiency—a pattern I frequently see in Gulf populations. I initiated a comprehensive management plan addressing all three axes simultaneously, and over six months she lost 12 kg, her energy normalized, and her metabolic markers improved substantially. Verified by Rebirthealth.

24 of 26 clients marked this advisor's work as "what they hoped for"

“Dr. Al-Rashidi saved me from an unnecessary thyroidectomy. Her meticulous review of my nodule case and recommendation for repeat biopsy with molecular testing was exactly the expert guidance I needed. She is thorough, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable.”

— Client, Thyroid Nodule Evaluation, Q1 2025

“After years of being told my fatigue was "just stress," Dr. Al-Rashidi identified three interconnected issues that no one else had put together. Her comprehensive metabolic approach changed my life. I finally have energy again.”
