Are home visits possible?
Home visits may be arranged for elderly or mobility-limited patients when clinically appropriate and when the schedule allows. Call the clinic to discuss your situation.
How can I pay for consultation?
We accept cash and UPI only. Payment is usually collected after the consultation.

What should I carry on my first visit?
Please bring:
- Earlier prescriptions, discharge summaries, or lab reports
- A list of medicines you currently take
- Insurance details (if you plan to use them)
- A photo ID
- An emergency contact number
Is teleconsultation available?
Primary care is provided in person at the clinic. For simple follow-ups or clarifications, you may call us and speak with the doctor when appropriate. New symptoms are best assessed face to face.
How do you plan treatment?
We review your history, examine you carefully, explain findings in simple language, and set a plan that fits your routine — medicines, diet, activity, and review dates. Follow-ups keep the plan on track.
When will lab reports be ready?
Most reports are ready within 24–48 hours, depending on the test. We will tell you when to collect them. Book a review visit once results are available so treatment can be adjusted if needed.
Where is the clinic and is parking available?
We are at No. 14, 50 Feet Road, Muneswara Block, Avalahalli, Bengaluru – 560026. Street parking is usually available nearby on 50 Feet Road.
