Questions patients ask
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk-in patients are seen, but after those with appointments. On busy days that can mean a long wait, so a booked slot is easier.
Will I need surgery?
Most orthopaedic problems are treated without surgery. If an operation is advised, the reason, the alternatives and the recovery time are explained before you decide.
Is there an X-ray facility here?
X-rays are done at the diagnostic centre in the same building. If you already have recent films, a repeat is usually not needed.
Are insurance and government schemes accepted?
Cashless admission is handled at the attached hospital. Bring your card and ID at the time of planning the surgery.
Can I get advice over the phone?
Diagnosis is not given over the phone. The front desk can help with timings, reports and follow-up dates.
