Thirty minutes, ₹500, and a plan in writing

Everything about the process is set out below — what happens, what it costs, what it does not cover, and how to get your money back if you change your mind.

How it worksचिकित्सा क्रम

Four steps, no surprises

The whole process is designed so that nothing about it is unclear before you pay.

1

2 minutes

Choose a time

Pick video or WhatsApp, then a slot that suits you. Payment is ₹500 — the slot is held while you check out.

2

5 minutes

Share your history

A short guided intake covers your complaint, digestion, sleep and current medication. Upload reports if you have them.

3

30 minutes

Meet Dr. Patel

He opens the call having already read your intake, so the time goes into understanding the pattern rather than form-filling.

4

Within 24 hours

Receive your care plan

A written plan of foods to favour and avoid, herbs with dosage and timing, and a daily routine. Yours to keep and download.

Scope

What the fee covers — and what it does not

Stated plainly, because the most common complaint about online health services is discovering the boundary after paying.

Included

  • A 30-minute consultation, video or WhatsApp
  • Constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalance assessment
  • Review of your history, reports and current medication
  • A written care plan: diet, herbs, dosage and daily routine
  • One follow-up message within seven days
  • Your records kept in your dashboard permanently

Not included

  • Herbal formulations — bought from a pharmacy of your choosing
  • Laboratory investigations, if any are needed
  • In-person Panchakarma procedures at a therapy centre
  • Emergency or acute care of any kind

We do not sell herbs. Prescriptions name the formulation and let you buy it wherever you prefer — this removes the incentive to over-prescribe.

Choose a format

Video or WhatsApp?

Same doctor, same fee, same care plan. The difference is only whether you are seen.

Recommended for a first visit

Video consultation

Google Meet

Being able to see your skin, tongue, eyes and general bearing adds real diagnostic information. This is the default recommendation for a first consultation.

  • Meet link emailed immediately after payment
  • Calendar invite with a reminder
  • Screen sharing for reports
  • Needs a stable connection and a quiet ten minutes

WhatsApp consultation

Voice or chat

Suited to follow-ups, or to a first consultation when your connection is unreliable or you would simply rather talk than be seen.

  • Dr. Patel calls your registered number at the slot time
  • Photographs of reports can be sent in advance
  • Works on a weak connection
  • No visual examination
Transparent pricingशुल्क

One fee. Every consultation.

₹500 whether it is your first visit or your fifth, video or WhatsApp, twenty minutes or forty-five. Herbs, if prescribed, are bought from a pharmacy of your choosing — we do not sell them.

The questions we are asked most

If something is still unclear, ask before paying — not after.

Start with one honest conversation

Thirty minutes, ₹500, and a written plan at the end of it. If Ayurveda is not the right route for your condition, Dr. Patel will tell you that too.
