Where Is Aster Satwa Located?
Aster Satwa is on Al Satwa Road, with Aster DM Healthcare identifying Saleem Poly Clinic as next to Satwa Big Mosque. Current Google Maps adds another useful detail by placing the clinic inside Morjana Plaza, next to the bus station.
These descriptions help rather than conflict. The mosque is the strongest official landmark, while Morjana Plaza and the nearby bus station make the building easier to identify once you reach central Satwa.
If you are new to the area, the Al Satwa neighbourhood guide gives useful local context. The clinic’s position beside Satwa Big Mosque is especially useful because Aster itself uses the mosque in its official address.
The branch phone number is +971 4 4400 500, which is shown by both myAster and current Maps information.
Saleem Polyclinic is a clinic/medical centre, not an Aster Hospital. Searches for “Aster hospital Satwa” usually refer to this clinic entity, but patients who need hospital-level or emergency care should not assume the Satwa branch provides hospital emergency services.
What Are the Current Aster Clinic Satwa Timings?
Current Google Maps lists the clinic as open 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. This is the clearest recent operational timing surfaced during the latest check.
There is still a reason to be careful with late-evening visits. Some healthcare directories have displayed an 11:00 PM closing time, while the current searchable myAster branch page does not publish general clinic opening hours.
The safest interpretation is to use 8:00 AM–10:00 PM as the current mapped schedule and call the clinic if you plan to arrive close to or after 10 PM.
Doctor availability is a separate issue from clinic opening hours. A clinic may remain open even when the particular GP or specialist you want has finished consultations for the day.
For that reason, checking the actual doctor slot is more useful than knowing only the building’s closing time.
Which Doctors and Specialties Are Currently Available?
The current myAster branch page shows General Medicine with 13 doctors and Pediatrics with 1 doctor. Because myAster also handles appointments, this is the strongest source for current online availability at the branch.
Recent myAster results associate several General Medicine doctors with Saleem Polyclinic, including Dr Saajan Shrestha, Dr Channakeshava Chowdaiah, Dr Girard Paolo Cerna, Dr Syeeda Nafisa, Dr Saleem Keeran Thodika, Dr Anju Balakrishnan Nambiar and Dr Yasir Rasheed.
This should not be treated as a permanent full doctor list. Doctors can work across several Aster clinics, schedules change, and appointment availability can differ from one day to the next.
For example, myAster currently shows Dr Saleem Keeran Thodika at Saleem Polyclinic and identifies him under General Medicine. His profile also gives his languages as Arabic, English, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil.
Other doctors at the clinic speak combinations of English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Tagalog, Nepali, Urdu, Bengali and other languages. That can be useful in a multilingual neighbourhood such as Satwa, but patients should check the current doctor profile when a specific language matters.
What About Gynaecology, Orthopaedics and Physiotherapy?
This is one area where an old directory result can be misleading.
Healthcare directories have associated Saleem Polyclinic with specialties such as obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, physiotherapy, internal medicine and dentistry. However, the current official myAster branch page checked for this guide directly displays only General Medicine and Pediatrics under its branch specialties.
That does not prove those other specialties can never be available at this location. It means their current availability should not be assumed from an older directory page.
If you are searching specifically for an Aster Clinic Satwa gynaecologist, orthopaedic doctor, physiotherapist or another specialist, search that specialty in myAster and select Saleem Polyclinic before travelling.
The same applies to searches for an endocrinologist. The current branch page reviewed here does not confirm endocrinology as a currently surfaced Satwa specialty.
This distinction protects patients from travelling to the right clinic but for a doctor who is not practising there that day.
How Do I Book an Appointment?
Appointments can be booked through myAster, and Aster’s official branch information confirms that walk-in consultations are also possible. Aster recommends booking ahead for a smoother consultation.
The online process lets you choose the clinic, select a specialty or doctor, view available slots, review payment information and confirm the appointment. myAster also says its platform provides real-time doctor availability and appointment updates.
For Aster Satwa, booking ahead is particularly useful if you want one specific doctor, require paediatric care or need an appointment at a certain time.
Walk-ins may still work for general medical needs, but waiting time depends on patient volume and doctor availability. An appointment does not guarantee that every visit starts exactly on schedule, but it gives you a confirmed doctor and time slot rather than relying on whoever is available when you arrive.
Consultation Fees Without Insurance
There is no single fixed self-pay consultation fee that can safely be quoted for every patient.
Some third-party clinic directories have previously advertised prices starting around AED 100. Aster’s own guidance is more reliable: myAster says the consultation fee without insurance depends on factors such as the consultation itself and any minor procedures prescribed during diagnosis. It provides an estimated cost during the booking process.
That means an old “starting from” price should not be treated as your final bill.
If you are paying without insurance, check the myAster booking estimate. If cost will affect whether you attend, call the clinic before the appointment and ask what charges apply to the doctor or service you need.
Does the Clinic Accept Health Insurance?
myAster supports appointment payment using insurance, self-pay, credit card or debit card.
Insurance acceptance is still plan-specific. A company logo appearing on an old insurance list does not automatically mean every network, policy, doctor, test or treatment is covered.
Coverage can depend on your insurer, network, policy level, specialty and the medical service being requested.
Enter your insurance details while booking or confirm directly with the insurer and clinic before treatment if coverage matters. This is especially useful before specialist consultations, laboratory work or procedures that may need approval.
Is Aster Pharmacy the Same as Saleem Polyclinic?
No. Aster Pharmacy in Satwa is a separate pharmacy entity, even though pharmacy and clinic searches are closely connected because both are in the same general Big Mosque/Morjana Plaza area.
The clinic handles doctor consultations and medical care. The pharmacy handles medicines and pharmacy products.
Keeping the two entities separate matters when searching for opening hours, phone numbers or directions. A pharmacy timing should not be assumed to be the clinic timing, and the clinic contact number should not automatically be used for pharmacy enquiries.
The nearby pharmacy can still be practical when a doctor issues a prescription after your consultation.
Can Saleem Polyclinic Issue a Medical Certificate?
Yes, when medically appropriate.
The current myAster branch FAQ states that General Medicine doctors at the Satwa clinic can provide medical certificates for leave purposes based on the patient’s needs. Aster also mentions its Instant GP service for quick general-health video consultations.
A medical certificate is based on clinical assessment rather than being an automatic administrative document.
If you specifically need a certificate for an employer, school or another organisation, explain that requirement during the consultation and confirm whether the type of documentation you need can be issued.
How Do You Reach the Clinic by Public Transport?
The clinic is close to Al Satwa Bus Station, making the bus station one of the easiest transport landmarks for visitors reaching the area from elsewhere in Dubai. Current Maps data identifies the clinic as next to the bus station.
The Al Satwa Bus Station guide can help you understand the surrounding transport area before travelling.
Your exact route depends on your starting location, so use current RTA journey information for the actual bus service and travel time rather than relying on an old clinic review.
Once you reach central Satwa, Morjana Plaza and Satwa Big Mosque are useful landmarks for identifying the correct clinic.
What Should You Check Before Visiting?
For General Medicine or Pediatrics, the current myAster branch page is the best starting point because it shows the specialties currently surfaced for booking.
If you need gynaecology, orthopaedics, physiotherapy or another specialist service, confirm current branch availability first. For a late-evening visit, call the clinic because public sources currently disagree on whether service ends at 10 PM or later.
Check the booking estimate if you will pay yourself, and verify your exact insurance network when using medical cover.
The wider neighbourhood also has other services near Satwa Roundabout that can be useful when a visit includes pharmacy or other daily needs.
If the doctor or specialty you need is not currently available at this branch, Al Noor Polyclinic Satwa is another nearby clinic option with its own doctors, contact details and services.
Final Thoughts
Aster Satwa is Aster Clinic’s Saleem Polyclinic facility beside Satwa Big Mosque, with Morjana Plaza and the nearby bus station providing additional location references. The current contact number is +971 4 4400 500.
myAster presently shows General Medicine and Pediatrics at the branch and supports online appointments as well as walk-ins.
Before a specialist or late-evening visit, confirm the doctor and timing. Patients using insurance or paying themselves should also check coverage or the booking estimate in advance so there are fewer surprises at the clinic.
