Yes. You can book an MDS specialist consultation, ₹1,500, by prior appointment at our Kharadi clinic, before agreeing to any specialist treatment. The specialist examines you and explains the options, risks and cost, and you decide afterwards in your own time. Meeting the specialist does not commit you to having treatment.
You should meet the person who will do your surgery, root canal or braces before you agree to it. For planned specialist treatment with us, that meeting is the MDS consultation.
Arrive 15 minutes before your slot; arriving 20 minutes or more late cancels the appointment without a refund, because the specialist's time is set aside only for you. Eat something an hour or two before, bring your old X-rays and a list of your medicines, and tell us about diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid problems, blood thinners, pregnancy or breastfeeding. If the visit falls during working hours, our Kharadi clinic's later timings may make it easier to fit around the office.
Write the answers down, or ask for them in writing. Nervous patients often forget half of what was said in the chair, and that is completely normal.
A consultation is just that. You can go home, think it over, talk to your family and come back, or not come back. We would much rather you take a week to decide than agree under pressure and regret it. Nobody at our clinic is paid on what you spend.
Surgery is confirmed with an advance, and surgeon appointments must be booked at least three days ahead, so build that time into your plans, especially if you need leave from work. Our booking engine shows the specialist panel by department, and our MDS departments page explains what each specialist does.
Kharadi runs late. Reception will tell you honestly whether you need an appointment yet.
