Research shortlist only - not a paid ranking or star rating. Phone numbers are published only where we hold a number for that specific organisation; where we don't, the card says so rather than guessing. Always confirm hours, panels and current services on Maps or the official site before travelling.

Also worth asking about

These are types of service rather than single clinics - ask for them by name when you call a hospital's main desk.

Trade-offs: Telehealth follow-up vs In-person visits

  • Access & wait times - which can you actually attend weekly?
  • Specialty depth for your condition vs general multi-specialty convenience
  • Insurance cashless panels and total 90-day cost (consults + labs + meds)
  • Continuity: same clinician over months vs one-off second opinions
  • Emergency and diagnostics on the same campus vs separate trips
  • Bring prior labs (HbA1c, lipids, creatinine, TSH) to any first visit - it saves weeks.

Evaluation checklist

  • Licence and accreditation appropriate to India (state medical council / NABH where relevant)
  • Relevant specialty credentials for Telehealth vs In-Person Care
  • Transparent pricing or insurance cashless clarity
  • Access: wait times, evening/weekend slots, telehealth follow-up
  • Outcomes mindset: do they track labs, weight, BP, symptoms over time?
  • Medication safety: legitimate pharmacy channels only - avoid informal injectables
