patient safety





what’s covered under our patient safety assurance


Plastic Surgery gone wrong has always been in the limelight in our industry. While patient Safety is a collective responsibility of the all – the surgeon, nurses, administrative staff and patient. The biggest concern for it is for the Patient, as it is for them who go under the knife. Cocoona has decided to take another step forward and be the first in the industry to address this concern. We will be offering patients, assurance for the safety and will be covering listed post-operative complications for the patients. It will be like an insurance and will cover upto a limit of 50,000 AED.

Looking at Cocoona’s internal protocols, safety guidelines, surgeon’s credentials and history of a very low complication rate – less than 0.8 percent annually. All patients that undergo surgery, will be given the opportunity to sign-up for this. This is important, so they know what is covered and what is not. For more details for what is covered, please continue reading.

    Dear Cocoona & Dr. Sanjay, Thank you so much for my Breast Augmentation procedure. Its 1 month on and I could not be happier with the result . All the way through from the initial consultation to the post op checkups, all your staff has been wonderful. The Dubai London Clinic for the surgery was fantastic.

    I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
