At a Glance

    Look for a doctor's specific sub-specialty and experience treating cases similar to yours, their qualifications, and which hospital they're affiliated with.

    A video consultation, where offered, can help you assess fit before committing to travel and treatment.

    We help identify a suitable specialist for your case based on your medical reports, rather than leaving you to browse an open directory unassisted.

    Practical Checklist

    Frequently asked

    What do MD, MS, DM and MCh actually mean?

    They represent India's tiered medical qualification system — see our doctors guide for a full plain-language explanation.

    Can I request a specific doctor?

    Yes, if you already have one in mind, tell your coordinator and we'll help you understand fit and coordinate accordingly.

    Will I be able to speak with the doctor before I travel?

    Where the hospital offers it, we help arrange a video consultation so you can ask questions directly beforehand.
