Knee Surgeon for Patients in Abu Hamour
Quick answer
For Abu Hamour residents, Aman Hospital in Doha's Old Airport area is a cross-town drive via the ring roads, and that is where knee surgeon Dr. Pablo Gelber assesses school sports injuries, pain with kneeling and long-standing knee arthritis. Appointments are booked through Aman Hospital on +974 4400 4400.
Driving from Abu Hamour
Abu Hamour sits between Salwa Road and Mesaimeer Road, with the D-Ring and F-Ring roads close by. That makes the route to the Old Airport area fairly direct: most patients take the F-Ring or D-Ring Road east, and Aman Hospital is in Zone 47, near Airport Street and the F-Ring Road.
Mesaimeer Road and the roads around the area's many schools are busy at drop-off and pick-up times. An appointment in the late morning is often the easiest to reach.
Schools, worship and family life
Abu Hamour is home to a large number of schools along and around Mesaimeer Road, busy shopping areas such as Safari Mall, Abu Hamour Park, and the Religious Complex with its churches, which draws worshippers from across Qatar. The population is mixed, with Qatari, Arab, South Asian and other expatriate families living side by side.
That everyday life brings particular knee complaints:
- Teenagers with front-of-knee pain or kneecap instability from school sport, dance and rapid growth
- Young adults with ACL and meniscus injuries from football and cricket
- Pain at the front of the kneecap in people who kneel for long periods in prayer or church services, sometimes from bursitis
- Knee osteoarthritis in parents and grandparents, which can make sujood, kneeling and standing up again difficult
Kneeling pain is usually manageable. Cushioning, strengthening and treating any inflammation often allow people to keep their routines, so it is worth getting a diagnosis rather than avoiding the activity altogether.

Frequently asked questions
Which roads link Abu Hamour with Aman Hospital?
Most patients use the F-Ring or D-Ring Road east to the Old Airport area. The map on this page shows the hospital's position and the straight-line distance from Abu Hamour.
The front of my knee swells after kneeling in church. What is it?
A soft swelling over the kneecap after kneeling is often prepatellar bursitis. Padding, rest from kneeling and anti-inflammatory measures usually help. If the area becomes red, hot or you develop a fever, seek care promptly, as it can become infected.
My daughter's kneecap feels like it slips during sport. Should she stop?
She should avoid the movements that trigger it until she is examined. Kneecap instability in teenagers often improves with targeted physiotherapy, but repeated episodes may need further assessment.
