What is the registration process for doctors?

There are two ways for a doctor to register with us — by clicking a button "apply" at the bottom of the site and filling out a doctor registration form or directly in the mobile or web app. Either ways, our panel of doctors will review each submission before the account is activated for use. This may take a week's time.

I’ve seen other apps that serve similar purpose. What makes yours any different?

We pride ourselves in providing professional and ethical medical advice. Our platform provides access to India's highly rated tertiary care providers and top doctors via video consultations. Our team of doctors share several Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri, Dr. BC Roy, Chikitsa Ratan and various other awards among them. They come from AIIMS, Fortis, Max, Jaslok, BLK, Sir Ganga Ram, Sir HN Reliance & other prestigious hospitals of India. Our health library is the most exhaustive knowledge content on hundreds of medical conditions/tests/procedures and thousands of medicines. Please visit our adult library, pediatric library or wellness section to remain up to date with credible and authentic information.

How do I get an appointment for video consultation?

After registering on mobile or web app, patient can submit request for appointment by going to doctor's profile. Once doctor creates an appointment, patient can upload scans/reports via chat window and make online payment. Doctor initiates the video call at the time of appointment and provides e-prescription at the end of consultation.
