Frequently asked questions
Should I see a general physician or directly book a specialist?
For most new symptoms, a general physician is the right place to start. They will examine you fully, order the right tests, and refer to a specialist only if needed. This saves time, avoids unnecessary tests, and ensures nothing is missed.
How often should adults get a full check-up?
Most healthy adults benefit from an annual check-up after the age of 30. The exact tests depend on your age, family history, and lifestyle. Our team will recommend the right package for you.
Can General Medicine manage my diabetes long-term?
Yes. Most diabetes care in India is managed by general physicians, and we are equipped to do this well. We refer to Endocrinology for complex cases (such as type 1 diabetes in younger patients or unusual hormonal patterns).
