These terms apply to drgauravpatodia.com, personally operated by Dr Gaurav Patodia, practising at Dermacure Clinics, Bank More, Dhanbad, India.
1. Purpose of this website
This website provides information about plastic, reconstructive, hand and cosmetic surgery. Visitors may explore treatment information, download educational guides, submit enquiries, request appointments and access links to WhatsApp or an external video-consultation platform.
General website content and downloaded guides are educational. They do not replace an individual medical consultation, examination, diagnosis or treatment plan.
2. Enquiries and appointment requests
Submitting a form does not confirm an appointment or guarantee availability.
By submitting an enquiry or appointment request, you authorise Dr Gaurav Patodia or the clinic team to contact you by telephone, WhatsApp or email to respond to your request and discuss appointment arrangements. This permission automatically includes related promotional messages.
Your appointment is confirmed only after confirmation from the clinic team or through the relevant consultation platform.
Please provide accurate contact details and information. Website forms and WhatsApp enquiries are not continuously monitored and must not be used for emergencies.
3. Video consultations
Paid video consultations are accessed through an external platform linked from this website.
Medical advice during a video consultation depends on the history, reports, images and examination possible remotely. Some conditions require a physical examination, additional investigations or an in-person consultation before a diagnosis or treatment recommendation can be finalised.
Advice may be revised following an in-person assessment or new information. Another clinician may reach a different opinion based on their assessment and the information available.
Where remote assessment is insufficient, an in-person consultation or appropriate referral may be recommended. These limitations do not remove the clinician’s professional responsibilities or your rights as a patient.
4. External bookings and payments
This website does not collect consultation payments directly.
The external consultation platform manages its booking and payment process. Its applicable terms govern charges, cancellations, rescheduling, missed appointments and refunds. Please read those terms before booking or paying.
For payment or booking problems, contact the platform through its support channels. You may also contact the clinic about matters involving Dr Gaurav Patodia’s availability or consultation.
The platform’s administrative terms are separate from the clinician’s responsibility for medical care.
5. Images, examples and patient experiences
Website material may include patient photographs, before-and-after images, testimonials, stock photographs and AI-generated illustrations.
Patient examples and testimonials describe individual experiences. They do not guarantee the same outcome for another person. Results and recovery vary according to the condition, procedure, individual health and other factors.
Stock photographs and AI-generated illustrations are illustrative and must not be interpreted as actual patients or evidence of treatment results. Please refer to accompanying captions for context.
Viewing an image or patient experience does not establish whether a procedure is suitable for you.
6. Downloads and website content
Unless otherwise stated, website text and downloadable guides are provided for personal, non-commercial educational use only.
Please do not reproduce, alter, sell or republish material without permission from the relevant rights holder.
7. External links
Links to WhatsApp, consultation platforms, social media and other websites may take you to services operated by third parties.
Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. Dr Gaurav Patodia does not control their operation, availability or subsequent changes to their content.
8. Privacy
Personal information submitted through this website is addressed in the separate Privacy Policy.
Please share only information relevant to your enquiry. Avoid sending unnecessary identity documents or sensitive photographs through general enquiry channels.
9. Accuracy, availability and patient rights
Reasonable efforts are made to keep website information accurate and current. Content, services and availability may change, and occasional errors or interruptions may occur.
Please confirm information that is important to your care directly during consultation.
Nothing in these terms excludes responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits your applicable consumer or patient rights. Website terms do not replace informed consent for medical treatment.
10. Updates
Any dispute will be handled by the court or forum having jurisdiction under that law.
These terms may be updated when website services or practices change. The revision date will appear above.
