1The Three Doubts Everyone Has (And Why They Are Reasonable)
If you are hesitating before consulting a doctor online, your instinct is healthy. You are being asked to trust someone you have never met, pay money to a number on WhatsApp, and take medicine for a chronic disease — hesitation is the correct starting response.
The three doubts I hear most often:
This guide answers each one directly. And one thing upfront, because trust should run both ways: online treatment is not right for every case. There is a section below listing exactly when I refuse online treatment and tell the patient to see a doctor in person. Read that section too — it is the most important one on this page.
Online medical consultation is also fully legitimate in India: the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020 (Board of Governors, Medical Council of India / Ministry of Health) formally recognise and regulate remote consultations by registered medical practitioners. This is not a grey area — it is how a large part of Indian healthcare now works.
2Can a Doctor Really Treat You Without Physically Examining You?
Honest answer: for most chronic diseases, yes — because of how homeopathic case-taking works.
In homeopathy, the prescription is built on your complete picture: how the pain behaves, what makes it better or worse, your sleep, digestion, thirst, temperament, stress pattern, and the story of how the illness developed. This is gathered through structured, detailed conversation — typically 45 to 60 minutes for a first consultation. A physical examination adds information in some cases, but the core of an individualized homeopathic prescription has always been the interview. This is true in my clinic in Akola and equally true on a video call.
What replaces the physical examination online:
What is honestly LOST online: I cannot palpate a joint, do an internal examination, or physically test your reflexes. For most chronic conditions I treat — migraine, psoriasis, fissure and piles, sciatica, AVN, rheumatoid arthritis — this rarely changes the prescription. Where it does matter, I say so plainly and refer you for in-person evaluation first. That is the deal.
3The Exact Process, Step by Step
Here is precisely what happens, from first message to medicine in your hand:
Step 1 — First contact on WhatsApp. You message describing your problem in one or two lines. I reply with a few basic questions and, if the case is suitable for online treatment, we schedule the consultation. No payment yet.
Step 2 — Detailed case-taking (45-60 minutes). On a scheduled call or video call, I take your complete case — the same depth as a clinic visit. Many patients are surprised by the questions: sleep position, food cravings, how anger affects the pain. This detail is not curiosity; it is how the individualized remedy is selected.
Step 3 — Reports review. You send photos of your existing reports. If a necessary test is missing, I tell you which one — these are standard tests done at any local lab in your city. I do not prescribe blind.
Step 4 — Individualized prescription and medicine dispatch. I prepare your medicine at my clinic — the same medicine a patient sitting in front of me would receive — and dispatch it by India Post courier with a tracking number shared on your WhatsApp. Typical delivery: 3-7 days anywhere in India, including small towns and villages (India Post reaches where private couriers do not).
Step 5 — Scheduled follow-ups. Chronic disease treatment is not one prescription — it is a managed process. Follow-ups happen on WhatsApp/call at fixed intervals (usually every 3-4 weeks, sooner if needed), where the remedy and dose are adjusted based on your progress. Between follow-ups, you can message me about any significant change.
The entire system runs on one WhatsApp number, with your case record maintained at my clinic exactly like an in-person patient's file.
4What to Keep Ready Before Your First Consultation
A well-prepared first consultation saves a week of back-and-forth. Keep these ready:
5Fees, Medicine, and Delivery — Full Transparency
The complete fee is Rs. 800 to 1500 per month, and it includes everything: consultation, the individualized medicine prepared for your case, and courier charges to your address. The exact amount within this range depends on the condition and medicine requirements — told to you clearly BEFORE you pay anything. There are no registration fees, no "package" pressure, no surprise additions later.
About the medicine itself:
Why fees are stated openly on a public page: chronic disease treatment runs for months, and a patient who feels financially ambushed in month two stops treatment — which wastes their money AND their case. Clear fees from day one is not generosity; it is what makes long treatment actually work.
6When Will You See Results? (Honest, Disease-Wise)
No honest doctor promises dates. But after years of treating these conditions, I can tell you typical patterns — provided the case is suitable and treatment is regular:
If a case is not responding as expected, I say so and we re-evaluate — including, where needed, advising investigations or referral. Continuing to take money for a non-moving case is the one thing that destroys both a patient and a practice.
7When Online Treatment Is the WRONG Choice — Read This First
This is the section that should decide whether you message me at all. Online treatment is NOT appropriate for:
If you message me with any of the above, the reply you get will be advice to see the appropriate doctor or hospital in person — free of charge, obviously. A doctor who takes every case that messages him is not a doctor you should trust with a chronic disease.
8Patients Treated Entirely Online — From My Case Diary
Most of my long-distance patients have never visited Akola. A few examples from the case diary (details anonymized, as always):
You can read verified Google reviews — with reviewer names, via Google — on my profile linked on every page of this site. I quote reviews verbatim and never edit them, for one simple reason: you should be able to check every word yourself.
